Procedure

In refluxed propionic acid, 30 g of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde was reacted with 13.4 g of pyrrole to obtain 6.9 g of 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine. This porphine derivative was reacted with an aqueous solution containing four equivalents of sodium hydroxide to obtain tetrasodium 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-carbonatophenyl)porphine.
