Abstract

Several β-aryl-substituted porphyrins were prepared in good yields by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of 2-(4,4,5,5-tetra­methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphinato­zinc(II) with various aryl bromides. Additionally, syntheses of β,β′-diporphyrins linked by biphenylene or quaterphenylene units were examined.
