Experimental Section 6<br />
allowed to react under vigorous stirring for 10 min at rt whereat the brown-red solution<br />
turns dark green. Subsequently, the reaction is quenched by careful addition of a saturated<br />
aqueous solution of NaHCO3. The biphasic mixture is then transferred into a separatory<br />
funnel and repeatedly extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined extracts are furthermore<br />
washed with 6 M aqueous HCl, water, a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 and again<br />
water, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to dryness. In most cases, the crude product<br />
consists of a mixture of metal complex(es) and the corresponding free base(s) of the<br />
annulated porphyrin system and appears as a dark green solid.<br />
Out of that mixture, the pure copper(II) or nickel(II) complex(es) can be obtained upon FC<br />
whereas the mixture formed of the copper(II) carboxylic acid is used as such for accessing<br />
the free system(s).<br />
c. Demetallation to Give Free Base Cycloketo-Porphyrin Systems<br />
The mixture yielded from part b. consistent of copper(II) complex(es) and free base(s) (up to<br />
200 mg) is taken up in TFA in a 100 mL round bottom flask. Then conc. H2SO4 is added<br />
whereupon the reaction mixture turns immediately orange or even red. After 45 min of<br />
stirring at rt, water is added and the formed suspension is repeatedly extracted with CH2Cl2.<br />
The combined extracts are furthermore washed with water, neutralized with a saturated<br />
aqueous solution of NaHCO3 and washed with water again. Drying over MgSO4, evaporation<br />
of the solvent and FC over silica furnishes the desired free base porphyrin system(s).<br />
