Popis: Wittig reaction of methyl pyropheophorbide-d possessing the 3-formyl group gave readily methyl pyropheophorbides-a bearing a variety of 3-alkenyl groups as semi-synthetic models of chlorophyll-a. The 3-substituents rotated around the C3-C3(1) bond from the coplanar conformation with the chlorin π-system, moving the redmost visible absorption maxima to a shorter wavelength. The model experiments showed that natural chlorophyll-a carrying the 3-vinyl group would take a similar rotamer to control its intrinsic site energy.
