Expanding the porphyrin pi-system by fusion with anthracene.
Synthesis of beta,meso,beta-anthracene triply fused and beta,meso-anthracene doubly fused porphyrins has been achieved via oxidative intramolecular ring closure of meso-(9-anthryl)porphyrins and meso-(1-anthryl)porphyrins, respectively. Fusion was only possible when the anthracene carried electron-d...
