Scheme 25. Transformation of methoxymethyl porphyrins into bromomethyl porphyrins.<br />

Thus, the different starting materials were well accessible in quantities of 1-2 g per run<br />

providing a solid basis for further investigations on the setup of novel systems.<br />

3.2.2 Setup of a Synthetic Pathway to Novel Cycloketo-<strong>Porphyrins</strong><br />

Such systems are generally accessible by a FRIEDEL-CRAFTS acylation process like CALLOT et al.<br />

have recently shown 76 . In order to obtain structural analogs to the already synthesized<br />

cycloamino-porphyrin systems like M-29 (Scheme 18), the bromomethyl groups in 45 - 49<br />

had to be converted into ethanoic acid side chains. Different thinkable approaches therefore<br />

were tried and evaluated using mono-functional system 45 as a basis. The results are<br />

discussed in the following paragraphs.<br />

45 R 1 = R 2 = R 3 = H<br />

A general approach to carboxylic acid derivatives uses organic halides, most often bromides.<br />

Those substrates are firstly subjected to an umpolung by generation of organometallic<br />

intermediates being further reacted with carbon dioxide. Possible reaction pathways are<br />

shown in Scheme 26 on the left. Both reaction pathways were investigated using the zinc(II)<br />

complex of 45 as a suitable starting material, in which the central metal is functioning as a<br />
