As part of our work in chlorin chemistry, we recently developed an efficient route for the synthesis of 1-formyldipyrromethanes.21 The formylation method entailed traditional Vilsmeier formylation or treatment of a solution of dipyrromethane in THF at room temperature with 2 molar equiv of MesMgBr and then at −78° C. with 2 molar equiv of phenyl formate. The subsequent workup and column chromatography afforded the desired 1-formyldipyrromethane in good yields.
