"One pot" Microwave Assisted Synthesis of 5,10,15-Tri(4-Methoxyphenyl)- 20-( 4-Chlorophentyl)-21H,23H-Porphyrin and its Zinc (II) Complex.

Abstract

Toe synthesis of new unsymmetrical A,B porphyrin, 5,10,15-tri(4-methoxyphenyl)-20-(4-chlorophenyl)-21H, 23H-porphyrin, 1, and its Zinc(II) complex, 5, 1 O, 15-tri( 4-methoxyphenyl)-20-( 4-chlorophenyl)-21, 23- Zinc(II)-porphine, l, was accomplished using both conventional and "one pot" solventless microwave assisted methods with interesting comparative results. The obtained molecules were characterized by 'H NMR, UV-Vis and MS. These molecules are considered to represent new compounds with potential application as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy.
