Abstract
Acid-catalyzed condensation of pyrrole and perfluoroalkyl aldehydes pr oduced, in a single step, alpha,beta-unsubstituted 5-perfluoroalkyldip yrromethanes, which were isolated and characterized for the first time . These dipyrromethanes were used as the key intermediates in the synt hesis of trans-perfluroalkylporphyrins as well as meso-tetrakis(perflu oroalkyl)porphyrins The two-step procedure described here provides acc ess to a wide variety of porphyrins with trans perfluoroalkyl groups.
