Isophlorinoids: The Antiaromatic Congeners of Porphyrinoids
Abstract
Ever since the discovery of the porphyrin ring in "pigments of life", such as chlorophyll and hemoglobin, it has become a prime synthetic target for optoelectronic properties and in the design of metal complexes. During one such early expedition on the synthesis of porphyrin, Woodward proposed that condensing pyrrole with an aldehyde under acidic conditions yields the "precursor" porphyrinogen macrocycle. Its four-electron oxidation leads to the...
