Reaction of β-Vinyl-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin with o-Quinone Methides

Abstract

The hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of β-vinyl-meso-­tetraphenylporphyrinatozinc(II) with quinone methides generated in situ from Knoevenagel reaction of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoqui­none, 4-hydroxycoumarin, and 4-hydroxy-6-methylcoumarin with paraformaldehyde and directly from o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol derivatives is reported.

porphyrin - o-quinone methide - naphthoquinone - coumarin - o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol - hetero-Diels-Alder

General Procedure for Preparing Compounds 8, 9, and 10a,b
In a round-bottom flask, equipped with a magnetic stirring bar, a solution of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (1, 6.2 mg, 35.5 µmol) [or 4-hydroxycoumarins (2a, 5.7 mg; 2b, 6.2 mg; 35.5 µmol)], 1,4-dioxane (5 mL), paraformaldehyde (8.5 mg, 284 µmol), and porphyrin 4 (25 mg, 35.5 µmol) was heated at reflux until consumption of the starting porphyrin 4 (1-48 h). Quinone methide precursors were added at regular intervals. Dioxane was then removed under reduced pressure, CHCl₃ (50 mL) was added to the residue, and the mixture was washed with sat. aq NaHCO₃ (2 × 20 mL). The organic phase was concentrated under vacuum, and the residual crude product was purified by column chromatog-raphy on silica gel and subsequently by preparative TLC using CHCl₃ as the eluent.

General Procedure for Preparing 11a-c
A mixture of porphyrin 4 (10 mg, 14.2 µmol) and appropriate benzyl alcohol (3a, 1.7 mg; 3b, 2.2 mg; 14.2 µmol) was refluxed in o-dichlorobenzene (3 mL) in a sealed tube until consumption of starting porphyrin 4 (monitored by TLC) with addition of quinone methide precursors at regular intervals. After completion of reaction (6-26 h) the mixture was loaded on a silica column or preparative TLC plate and eluted with PE. Further elution with CHCl₃ gave the corresponding adducts.
