A modified Lindsey procedure was employed to obtain a novel tetraphenylporphyrin derivative bearing two fused crown ether rings. X-Ray analysis was used to determine the structure of the compound.

Keywords: Porphyrins, crown ethers, pyrrole, 1,8-bis(2-formylphenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane, condensation.

Новое производное 5,10,15,20-тетрафенилпорфирина, содержащее два сочленённых краун-эфирных фрагмента, было получено по модифицированной методике Линдси. Строение полученного соединения было подтверждено методом РСА.

Structure modification of the tetrapyrrolic macrocycles with additional coordinating groups allows fine-tuning of the affinity of these compounds to certain metal ions, their solubility in various fluids, the intensity of fluorescence and other physico-chemical properties. The resulting derivatives of porphyrins and phthalocyanines can be used for the creation of improved chemoreceptors, sensors, catalysts, components of nano-devices.[1] Such molecules can be obtained, for example, by introduction of crown ether moieties,[2-4] which can be connected to the tetrapyrrolic core in a number of ways. [5] The aim of the present work was to obtain a novel crown-

annulated porphyrin 2 using 1,8-bis(2-formylphenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane (1) as the starting material.

Our first attempt was to use the classic Adler-Longo procedure[6] for the synthesis of 2. However, only trace amounts of the desired compound were detected by LC/MS analysis in the resulting material. Surprisingly, using the Lindsey procedure,[7] which employs considerably milder reaction conditions - performing the condensation in a dilute solution with the consequent oxidation with chloranil - led to a similar result. However, when we modified the latter procedure by using peroxyacetic acid or Oxone as an

oxidative agent, compound 2 was successfully obtained as a mixture of two isomers (two peaks are observed in LC/ MS spectrum) with 11 % yield. Due to the difficulties of chromatographic separation of the isomers, currently we have been able to isolate analytically pure samples only of one of them.

The condensation of pyrrole with dialdehyde 1 may result in the formation of several geometric isomers: the crown ether voids can be positioned either on the same or on the opposite sides from the plane of the porphyrin core, besides, the crown ether threads can connect the diagonal phenyl rings. We performed an X-Ray structure study, which defined the geometry of the isolated isomer of compound 2 to be cisaft-strapped (according to nomenclature proposed in[8]). The detailed X-Ray data will be published in a separate paper.

In acetonitrile solution, the Soret band of compound (2) is observed at 414 nm, while the Q-bands correspond to 511, 542, 587 and 643 nm absorbance peaks. Thus, the UV-Vis spectrum of (2) belongs to the classic type of the porphyrin core spectra.[9]

The NH stretching vibrations result in a strong IR band at 3430 cm-1. The skeletal vibrations of the porphyrin ring appear at 1241 and 1117 cm-1. A band of moderate intensity at 1595 cm-1 corresponds to v(C-C) of the substituted benzene rings, and a weak band at 3068 cm-1 - to v(C-H). Out-of-plane deformation vibrations of methyne carbon bridges appear as a band at 753 cm-1.

Eight protons of the ft-pyrrole carbons give a doublet signal at 8.70 ppm (J = 16.0 Hz). The NH-protons appear as singlet at -2.70 ppm with a strongly diminished integral intensity, which corresponds to literature data.[9] Six signals that belong to the -O-CH2CH2-O- groups have a total integral intensity of 24 protons, and are observed in the upfield region (0.89 - 4.08 ppm). The aromatic protons of the disubstituted benzene rings resonate at 7.21-8.09 ppm and form an ABCD-system (3J = 8.8, 7.6, 8.0 and 7.2, 4J = 1.8 and 1.6 Hz correspondingly).

The 'H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker WP-400 spectrometer. The UV-Vis spectra were studied in acetonitrile on a Varian Cary Scan 50 instrument, the IR spectra were obtained in KBr pellets on an Infralum FT-801 Fourier-spectrophotometer. The elemental analysis was carried out on a Eurovector EA-3000 analyzer. LC/MS analysis was performed using an Agilent 1100 series chromatograph equipped with Agilent 1100 series DAD (wavelength 420±10 nm was used for detection), Sedex 75 ELSD and Agilent LC/ MSD VL mass spectrometer (ionization in APCI interface). The X-ray structure study was conducted on a Bruker SMART 1000 CCD automated diffractometer, with MoK -

The following solvents and reagents were used in the course of the present study. Pyrrole, triethylamine, boron trifluoride etherate, aluminium oxide (basic) were purchased from Alfa Aesar. Oxone (2KHSO5KHSO4K2SO4) was purchased from Acros Organics. Pyrrole was purified before use by eluting its dilute solution in dichloromethane through a short alumina column and then distilling off the solvent. All other reagents were used as received. Dialdehyde 1 was synthesized by a published procedure.[10] Dichloromethane from "Chimmed" company was purified by reflxing it for 1.5 hours over phosphorus pentoxide with the consequent distillation from a fresh portion of P2O5. Acetonitrile (HPLC gradient grade) from Panreac was used for spectrophotometry as received.

Nitrogen is bubbled for 10 min. through a solution of 0.89 g (2.5 mmol) of dialdehyde 1 and 0.34 g (5 mmol) of pyrrole in 500 ml of dichloromethane. Then, BF3 Et2O (5 mmol, 0.7 ml) is introduced and the reaction vessel is protected from light. The mixture is magnetically stirred under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 1.5 hrs, then excess of triethylamine is added (2 ml, 14 mmol). After 10 min of stirring 200 ml of 5 % aqueous Oxone solution is added and the stirring is continued for extra 40 min. The

After drying with MgSO4, the dichloromethane extract is evaporated and the residue is purified on basic alumina, eluting with ethyl acetate.
