Abstract
- Abstract: We describe a method to improve the yield and the kinetics of the difficult syntheses of α,β-unsaturated porphyrins, which enabled us to obtain a new chiral porphyrin derived from (S)-(−)-perillaldehyde in a 6% yield. Variable temperature NMR experiments on the free base, the zinc(II) and the nickel(II) complexes showed that two distinct and consecutive dynamic processes linked with the meso substituents rotation occurred. These processes can be analyzed as an evolution of the conformer composition upon temperature change. Higher values are found for the free energies of rotation of the substituent (measured by variable temperature 1H NMR) compared to those of other equivalent porphyrins like meso-tetraphenyl porphyrin or meso-tetracyclohexyl porphyrin.
