Abstract

β-(Perfluoroalkyl)tetraarylporphyrin radicals, generated by the reaction of I(CF2)nX (n = 2−5; X = I, Cl) with porphyrins in the presence of Na2S2O4/NaHCO3 in DMSO/CH2Cl2 or DMSO, undergo cyclizations at the ortho position of a neighbouring phenyl ring and/or adjacent pyrrolic unit to give five-, six-, seven-, and eight-membered fused porphyrins.
