“…A similar procedure was used to that described above for conjugate 2 , using porphyrin 1 (14.9 mg, 0.01 mmol), (N1,N3,N6,N9,N12-penta-tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1,14-di-amino-3,6,9,12-tetraazatetradecane 42 (11.0 mg, 0.015 mmol) and NMP (2 mL). 43,44 The Boc-protected conjugate was obtained (21.4 mg) in 96% yield, mp = 293–296 0 C; UV-vis (DMSO) λ max (ε/M −1 cm −1 ) 416 (456 000), 510 (24 000), 555 (21 000), 585 (12 500), 650 (10 300).…”
