Popis: 5-Substituted dipyrromethane analogues ( 8 ), ( 23 ) and ( 25 ) were synthesized by the reaction of 2-vinylpyrroles, 2-vinylthiophene or 2-vinylbenzenes with excess pyrrole in the presence of Lewis acids. Accordingly, tripyrromethane analogues could be obtained by starting with 2,5-divinyl thiophene or 2,6-divinylbenzenes. The reaction usually gave moderate yields and catalyst-dependent was seen in some cases. The reaction is compatible with other reported dipyrromethane syntheses and could be applied for the construction of unusual porphyrins.
