Reaction Steps

The porphyrin prepared in Example 11 (100 mg) is metallated by refluxing a solution of the porphyrin, indium chloride (100 mg) and sodium acetate (100 mg) in acetic acid for 2 hrs. The solvent is removed and the solid dissolved in dichloromethane (50 mL) and washed with a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, evaporated to 10 ml, and hexane (10 mL) is added. The dichloromethane is slowly removed by rotary evaporation and the precipitated porphyrin collected by filtration. Yield of title compound=(100 mg).
