Özet

Porphyrins are macrocyclic aromatic compounds with significant functions in nature. These structures, which play a crucial role in biological processes, have also inspired a wide range of applications such as artificial photosynthesis, dye-sensitized solar cells, and photodynamic therapy [1,2,3,4]. A comprehensive review of the literature on porphyrin synthesis reveals that compounds such as pyrrole, dipyrromethane, and tripyrrane are commonly used as starting materials. However, despite the presence of tripyrrane derivatives in the literature, the synthesis and reactivity of mono-formyl meso-substituted tripyrranes have not been thoroughly investigated. Considering this gap in the literature, mono-formyl meso-substituted tripyrrane (2) compounds, which have not been synthesized before, were obtained via the formylation of tripyrranes (1) through the Vilsmeier–Haack reaction. By elucidating the structures of these compounds and examining their reactions, studies were carried out to obtain meso-substituted A3-type porphyrin (3) compounds with wide application areas.
