Abstract
Condensation adducts of the Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of β-amino-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate were converted into the corresponding esters of pyridinone-fused porphyrins by using three different cyclization protocols: conventional heating, microwave irradiation, and Eaton’s reagent. High yields in a short period of time were obtained by using the microwave-irradiation protocol under closed-vessel conditions. The structure of the copper(II) complex of pyridinone-fused porphyrin was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

Using a Multimode Reactor
A solution of porphyrin 3 (21 mg, 0.025 mmol) in nitrobenzene (3.5 mL) under argon atmosphere was irradiated at atmospheric pressure in a Milestone MicroSynth microwave reactor (5 min ramp up to 180 ˚C and 35 min hold at 180 ˚C, using 400 W maximum power). The reaction mixture was then purified by flash chromatography using a 1:2 mixture of hexane-CH2Cl2 as eluent to give porphyrin 4a (19 mg, 93% yield).

Using a Monomode Reactor
A solution of porphyrin 3 (28 mg, 0.034 mmol) in nitrobenzene (1.5 mL) was placed in a 10 mL reaction vial, which was then sealed under argon atmosphere and placed in the cavity of a CEM microwave reactor. The reaction vial was irradiated at 220 ˚C (1 min ramp to 220 ˚C and 3 min hold at 220 ˚C, using 200 W maximum power). The reaction mixture was then purified by flash chromatography using a 1:2 mixture of hexane-CH2Cl2 as eluent to give porphyrin 4a (24 mg, 88% yield). - 25

Condensation Reaction
To
a solution of (β-amino-meso-tetraphenylporphyrinato)-nickel(II)
(50 mg, 0.073 mmol) in toluene (5 mL), DMAD (0.02 mL, 0.15 mmol)
was added, and the resulting mixture was heated at 85 ˚C
under argon atmosphere for 150 min. The reaction mixture was cooled
to r.t. and purified by flash chromatography using a 1:2 mixture
of hexane-CH2Cl2 as eluent. The first
fraction to be collected was a small amount of starting porphyrin,
followed by porphyrin 3, which was collected
and crystallized from CHCl3-MeOH to give 47
mg (78% yield) of red crystals.

Cyclization Reaction
Using an Oil Bath
A solution of porphyrin 3 (29 mg, 0.035 mmol) in nitrobenzene (1.5
mL) was heated at 200 ˚C under argon atmosphere for 6 h.
The reaction mixture was then purified by flash chromatography [CH2Cl2,
then CH2Cl2-acetone (95:5)] to
remove the nitrobenzene and the product pyridinone-fused porphyrin 4a. Porphyrin 4a was
further crystallized from CH2Cl2-MeOH
to give the pure compound (20 mg, 74% yield).

Cyclization Reaction
Using Eaton’s Reagent
A mixture of porphyrin 3 (50 mg, 0.060 mmol) and Eaton’s reagent
(0.4 mL) was heated at 50 ˚C for 150 min. The reaction
mixture was neutralized with an aq sat. soln of Na2CO3.
The aqueous layer was extracted three times with CH2Cl2,
and the organic layer was dried (anhyd Na2SO4)
and evaporated under vacuum to dryness. The resulting residue was
purified by flash chromatography using CHCl3 as eluent and
crystallized from CH2Cl2-n-hexane to give porphyrin 4c (37 mg, 84% yield) as purple
crystals.

X-ray Single-Crystal
Determination
The X-ray data of porphyrin 4c-Cu(II) complex was collected
on a CCD Bruker APEX II using graphite monochromatized Mo Kα radiation
(λ = 0.71073 Å) with
the crystal positioned at 35 mm from the CCD, and the spots were
measured using a counting time of 80 s. Data reduction and empirical
absorption were carried out using SAINT-NT from Bruker aXS. The
structure was solved by direct methods and by subsequent difference
Fourier syntheses and refined by full matrix least squares on F
²
using
the SHELX-97 system programs.²7 The CH2Cl2 solvent
molecule was found disordered over three tetrahedral positions with occupation
factors of 0.333. In addition, the chlorine atoms of one disorder
component are also disordered occupying two alternative positions
with occupation factors of 0.166. Anisotropic thermal parameters
were used for all nonhy-drogen atoms excluding the atoms of CH2Cl2,
which were refined with group isotropic temperature factors. The hydrogen
atoms of this molecule was not inserted in the structure refinement
while the hydrogen atoms of the copper porphyrin derivative complex
were included in refinement in calculated positions with isotropic
parameters equivalent 1.2 times those of the atom to which they
are attached. Crystal structure has been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic
Data Center and allocated with the deposit number CCDC 710189.
