Popis: [reaction: see text] Diverse Lewis acids and Bronsted acids were examined in the two-step, one-flask synthesis of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin, N-confused tetraphenylporphyrin, and tetraphenylsapphyrin. The scope of acid catalysis was found to be very broad, with 35 of 45 acids providing TPP in yields ranging from 5% to 58%. NC-TPP was also widely observed in yields of 1-40%, and TPS was infrequently observed in yields of1%. Additionally, conditions were found for direct preparation of magnesium TPP and copper TPP.
