For this, a mixture of two acids, one a reference compound, andone acid whose reactivity is unknown, are coupled to an aminoacylated tetrakis(p-aminophenyl)porphyrin under typical peptide coupling conditions. The product distributionin the resulting library is analyzed via MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to reveal the relativereactivity. This rapid reactivity test requires sub-nanomole quantities of acids, does notinvolve cleavage from a support or any potentially biasing work-up, and is automatable.Thus, it is well suited for testing building blocks for combinatorial syntheses. Further, it isdemonstrated that step-wise coupling can produce near-statistically distributed libraries ofporphyrins when acids of very different reactivity are employed.Keywords: Porphyrins, combinatorial chemistry, reactivity, mixed couplings
