Abstract
The condensation of 3-(chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride with different atropis omers of meso-(tetra-o-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP), followed by the reacti on of a series of nucleophilic reagents leads, among others, to precursors of biomimetic models of heme proteins such as cytochrome c oxidase (CcO). T his synthesis can also be applied as an efficient two-step reaction to obta in highly functionalized porphyrin derivatives potentially useful for catio n binding.
