The reactivity of porphyryl acrylates and their homologues was studied systematically and to establish their potential as building blocks for the synthesis of novel tetrapyrroles. A new synthetic approach for multifunctional porphyrins was developed using α,β-unsaturated acyl porphyrins as versatile building blocks with yields of 44−95%. The reaction of acyl chlorides generated in situ with ethyl diazoacetate in the presence of PPh3 led to the corresponding phosphazine, which was quickly self-transformed into a novel porphyrin β-keto ester system in up to 78% yield. Comparative studies of the next homologue of acrylic porphyrins, i.e., those bearing an additional CH2 group next to the double bond of the α,β-unsaturated fragment, showed that these can undergo rearrangement reactions via vinylketenes to yield both regioisomers. Depending on the reaction conditions, this method gives regioselectively access to either a rearrangement product or the product of esterification reactions in yields of 81% or 57%, respectively. Enyne metathesis of novel propargyl esters with allyl porphyrins provided an easy access to 1,3-disubstituted butadienes in up to 76% yield.
