experience with analog compounds, the substitution would involve a significant change in<br />

polarity so that then a proper separation should be easy to achieve (Scheme 53). And<br />

fortunately, exactly that eventuated and targeted compound 88 could be isolated in pure<br />

form in excellent 14.9 % overall yield based on dipyrromethane 85.<br />

Scheme 53. Substitution of methoxide by bromide within the mixture containing 86 finally<br />

leading to separable compounds 87 & 88 following the “purification via conversion”principle.<br />

By having 88 in hands, the approved protocols for cyanation and subsequent hydrolysis<br />

could be applied (paragraph 3.2.2.1.2, p. 36). Thus, the correspondent zinc(II) complex of 88<br />

was generated 93,96 and reacted with potassium cyanide to give cyanomethyl derivative 89<br />

which was then saponified under acidic conditions 96 to finally yield porphyrin ethanoic acid<br />

90 being the precursor for the annulation procedure. That pathway is shown in Scheme 54.<br />

Hence, 90 could be obtained in 80 % overall yield from 88 (87 % for 89 and subsequently<br />

92 % for 90) well in line with the expected stability of the nitro group toward the synthesis<br />

conditions.<br />
