3.2.8.1 Using Bis-Functional Compounds to Approach a Modified Form of 53<br />

First investigations were starting off from symmetrically substituted bis-o-(methoxymethyl)<br />

substituted porphyrin 43 whose substituents lie on trans-standing phenyl rings in αβ-<br />

conformation in respect of the porphyrin plane. The dissymmetric functionalization was<br />

tried on the di-ether (from 43) and on the di-bromo stage (from 48) like it is shown in<br />

Scheme 51.<br />

Scheme 51. Dissymmetric functionalization of 42 to give cyanomethyl precursors 83 and 84.<br />

The mono-bromination of 42 gave satisfactory yields around 30 % besides traces of educt<br />

and fully brominated byproduct 47. The following cyanation via the corresponding zinc(II)<br />

complex gave pure 83 in 95 % yield. In contrast, the mono-cyanation of 47 was unsuccessful<br />

as only traces of 84 were observed besides large educt amounts and some fully cyanated<br />

47<br />
