3.2.8 Cycloketo-Porphyrin Systems with Additional Functionality<br />

To exploit the properties of the synthesized cycloketo-porphyrin systems for applications in<br />

terms of PDT or any other technical device, it was necessary to modify the structure of 53 to<br />

gain the ability of attaching it covalently to antibodies, multiplying units or functional<br />

surfaces. 68<br />

Based on the aforementioned findings, it was decided to leave the exocycle as well as the<br />

remaining β-positions untouched since the electrochemical and photophysical behavior<br />

might else be negatively affected. Also the oppositely lying methyl substituent should not be<br />

changed as an enlargement would raise the steric hindrance hampering the closure of the<br />

exocyclic ring. So modifications are to be carried out on one of the three peripheral t-butyl<br />

phenyl substituents.<br />

Therefore two approaches were taken into account. Firstly, already known bis-functional<br />

system like 42 or 43 could serve as basis since those can be mono-functionalized to achieve<br />

the ring closure whilst the residual functionality could finally be converted into the desired<br />

anchor. Secondly, the porphyrin architecture could be changed from an AB3-type to AB2C in<br />

which the A substituent provides the appropriate functionality for the formation of the<br />

exocycle while the C substituent possesses the desired anchor or a precursor for that. These<br />

approaches are sketched in Scheme 50 and discussed in the following paragraphs.<br />

structure 53 via dissymmetric functionalization of e. g. 42 (left) or by construction of an<br />

AB2C-type system (right) where in both cases -X represents a coupleable group like -NH2,<br />

-OH or -CO2H.<br />
