Abstract
Treatment of copper(II) complexes of acetylporphyrins with ethanedithiol and boron trifluoride-ether in acetic acid efficiently accomplishes deacetylation of the porphyrin system, and this reaction is demonstrated in a new partial synthesis of dehydrocoproporphyrin (S411-porphyrin); acetylpyrroles are also quantitatively deacetylated under these conditions.
