A new chlorophyll derivative and anthraquinone based dyad and triad mo
del compounds have been synthesized. Trifluoroacetic anhydride is show
n to be an efficient reagent for ether bond formation between 3(1)-hyd
roxyphytochlorin and 2-(hydroxymethyl)anthraquinone. The application o
f Mukaiyama's reagent for the final esterification allowed us to creat
e quite complex molecules under very mild conditions. All diastereomer
s of the new dyads and triads were successfully separated using HPLC t
echniques.
