Abstract

The reaction of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porpholactone with azomethine ylides and nitrones affords pyrrolidine-fused and isoxazolidine-fused dihydroporpholactones that display, respectively, isobacteriochlorin- and chlorin-type UV–Vis spectra. These reactions are site-selective, yielding, respectively, 17,18- or 12,13-dihydroporpholactones. The crystal and molecular features of pyrrolidine-fused and isoxazolidine-fused dihydroporpholactones were unveiled from single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
Keywords: porpholactones; dihydroporpholactones; 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions; pyrrolidines; isoxazolidines porpholactones; dihydroporpholactones; 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions; pyrrolidines; isoxazolidines
