Abstract
Reaction of a 1,9-diformyl-5-dipyrroketone (11) with a tripyrrane (12) affords a novel pentapyrrolic macrocycle (13) characterized as an iso-oxopentaphyrin (λmax 787 nm). Along with the iso-oxopentaphyrin, small amounts of oxophlorin (20) and porphyrin (21) are also produced. Mechanistic implications are discussed.
