Discussion and Results 3<br />

With 60, we obtained a well suited system for transformation into either 57 or 58. The<br />

general reaction outline is depicted in Scheme 43 and discussed in the following paragraphs.<br />

Like Scheme 43 displays, the synthesis of 58 was quite straightforward and should be<br />

discussed first. The necessary porphyrin methanoic acid precursor 65 was easily obtained<br />

from 60 by basic saponification using a solution of KOH in a mixture of THF, ethanol and<br />

water. This reaction gave the desired compound in 94 % isolated yield after FC based on 60.<br />

The characterization data of 65 only shows minor but significant changes compared to the<br />

precursor. E.g. the resonances for the methyl group of the ester are lacking in the recorded<br />

NMR spectra. Unfortunately, the acidic proton of the acid moiety cannot be detected due to<br />

fast proton-deuteron exchange with the applied solvents. In the IR spectrum, the carbonyl<br />
