SYNOPSIS
Title of Thesis: Synthesis, covalent and non-covalent interactions of selected porphyrinoids and related compounds.
The thesis is divided into five chapters, Chapter I Synthesis of porphyrinogens, hexa porphyrinogen and their interactions with anions Porphyrinogens bearing hydrogen atoms at their meso position are very important as key
intermediates in bio- and Rothemund syntheses of porphyrinoids. Their structures and isomerization are of particular interest in connection not only with biological peripheral isomerism of naturally occurring porphyrinoids, but also with N-C confusion of pyrroles and
formation of higher homologues of porphyrin such as pentaphyrins and hexaphyrins. Porphyrinogens have been, however, treated just as unstable intermediates and readily oxidized to the targeted dyes without isolation in most cases.
The different fully meso-substituted porphyrinogen calix[4]pyrroles have been prepared by
the reaction of pyrrole with different ketones in presence of organic acid and solid acid in organic solvents in varying yields. The structures were confirmed by different spectroscopic techniques.

Scheme 2.2: Synthesis of oxoporphyrinogens (7) and calix[4]phyrin The anion binding studies were examined by UV-Visible spectroscopic titrations in DMSO and CH2Cl2. On the addition of solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride, the absorption peak bathochromically decreases, and the presence of three isobestic points were observed at 410,
447 and 540 nm. The large red shifts have been attributed to a partial charge transfer resulting
from the anion being bounded to the –NH protons of the pyrrole constituting the chromophore. The isobestic points in UV-Vis spectra indicate that the complex has been formed between host and guest. The cases, binding stoichiometries were 1:1 as determined by Job’s method and the binding constant were calculated by UV-Vis titrations.

Synopsis
Chapter II Synthesis of oxo-porphyrinogens, related macrocycles and their non-covalent interactions.
The development of relatively simple donor-acceptor models to mimic the photosynthetic
reaction centres is one of the important area of chemical research. The conversion of solar
energy into chemical energy and their models have been used in the development of optoelectronic and other newer materials. The covalent and non-covalent donor-acceptor
systems have been used as models to mimic the biological electron transfer and energy transfer. Complexation of anionic species by molecules containing an appropriate binding site
is an area of recent substantial interest in supramolecular chemistry. The oxo-porphyrinogens and N-alkylated oxo-porphyrinogens were synthesized by the modification of reported procedures. The covalent and non-covalent models of oxoporphyrinogens have been prepared and their non-covalent interactions have been examined in chapter.
The cyclocondensation of arylaldehydes with pyrrole form the 5, 10, 15, 20-
tetraarylporphyrins (1) in good yields. The reaction of hydroxy porphyrins (1) with potassium
hydroxide and sodium hydride in presence of oxygen form oxoporphyrinogens (2) in different reaction conditions (Scheme 2.1), further the cyclocondensation of two aryl aldehydes

Oxoporphyrinogens bind a variety of guest molecules at its pyrrolic NHs as well as at the
quinoids C=O groups. The oxoporphyrinogens have a strong absorption in the visible light region due to π-conjugation between tetrapyrrole and quinoid substituents. This conjugation is sensitive to binding of guests to OxPs and these compounds have been reported to behave
as probes for anions or solvents and enantiomeric excess. Hence they are useful substrate for
absorption of visible light. The covalent and non-covalent models for photosynthesis and 338

Scheme 2.1: Synthesis of 5,10,15,20-tetraaryl porphyrins and oxoporphyrinogen The anion binding studies were examined by UV-Visible spectroscopic titrations in DMSO and CH2Cl2. The UV-visible spectra of oxoporphyrinogen (2) (5 × 10-7M) gave two peaks at 426 and 517 nm. Oxoporphyrinogen bearing C=O group at meso-position favour the binding
with all the tetrabutyl ammonium anions and strong binding was observed with fluoride. On
the addition of the solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (5 × 10-7M to 4 × 10-7M), the absorption peak of oxoporphyrinogen was bathochromatically shifted by 100-107 nm with decrease in relative intensity. The large red shifts have been attributed to a partially charge
transfer resulting from the anion being bounded to the –NH protons of the pyrrole constituting the chromophore. The bathochromic shift was also observed with significant broadening. The two isobestic points were observed at 558 nm and 759 nm which indicate the
complex had been formed between host and guest. The cases, binding stoichiometries were
1:1 as determined by Job’s method. The binding constant calculated by UV-Visible titrations were in the range of 106- 107for oxaporphyrinogen. Oxoporphyrinogen were used as chromophoric probes for the detection of trace water in tetrahydrofuran. The oxidative N-alkylation of porphyrin tetraphenols

Scheme 2.3: Synthesis of N,N’-dialkyalated oxoporphyrinogens
N,N’-dialkylated oxoporphyrinogen have been synthesized by the minor modification
of literature procedure and characterized by different spectroscopic data. Oxoporphyrinogen not only binds with selective variety of guest molecules (F-, OAc-) at its pyrrolic NH’s as
well as at the quinoid C=O groups but also binds with trace amount of water in THF at ppm level.

Chapter III
Synthesis of hetero-porphyrinogens in acidic ionic liquids and their Non-covalent interaction Porphyrinogens are meso reduced porphyrins and they have important role in the
synthesis of both natural and artificial porphyrins. The dialkyl, diaryl or alkyl-aryl
substituents at meso sp3 hybridized carbons prevent the oxidative aromatization of
porphyrinogen to porphyrins. The stable form of porphyrinogens is calixpyrroles where all the meso carbon are sp3 hybridized. The other form of porphyrinogen or calixphyrins where
at least one meso carbon is sp2 hybridized. The core-modified porphyrinogens have been
synthesized by replacement of one or more core nitrogen atoms of parent porphyrinogen with chalcogen atoms such as O, S, Se and Te.
The reaction of thiophene with n-butyllithium (2 equiv.) followed by reaction with acetophenone
afforded

corresponding
2,5-bis[(1-phenyl-1-

The 5,10,15,20-tetramethyl-5’,10’,15’,20’-tetraphenyl calix[2]thieno[2]pyrrole (3a)
was synthesized by reaction of 2,5-bis[(1-phenyl-1-pyrrolomethyl)methyl]thiophene with
2,5-bis[(1-phenyl-1-hydroxymethyl)methyl]thiophene in presence of methanesulfonic acid (Scheme 3.1). In 1H NMR spectrum of 5,10,15,20-tetramethyl-5’,10’,15’,20-tetraphenyl calix[2]thieno[2]pyrrole the appearance of singlet at 2.05 ppm for twelve methyl protons, two multiplet at 6.03 and 6.55 ppm for eight
β-pyrrolic and β-thiophenic protons, another
multiplet at 7.12 ppm was assigned for twenty aryl protons and finally a broad singlet at 7.79 ppm was assigned for pyrrolic –NH protons of calix[2]thieno[2]pyrrole. The high resolution
mass spectrum (HRMS) showed [M+H]+ peak at m/z 711.2663, is due to C48H42S2N2. The
peaks of all other remaining protons and carbons were also observed in the 1H and 13C NMR spectrum of the molecule. Based on the above spectral data, the structure of the compound was
unambiguously

Scheme 3.1: Synthesis of core modified porphyrinogens The cation binding studies were examined by UV-Visible spectroscopic titrations in
DMSO.. The UV-visible spectra of compound 3a (5 × 10-5M) gave a peak at 259 nm and on
the addition of the solution of mercury(II)perchlorate (5 × 10-5M to 4 × 10-5M ), the absorption peak was bathochromatically shifted by 5-6 nm with increase in relative intensity. The red shifts have been attributed to a partial charge transfer resulting from the cation being
bound to the -S- of the thiophene constituting the chromophore. The bathochromic shift was
also observed with significant broadening which indicate that there is a balance in the solution and the complex has been formed between host and guest. The cases, binding stoichiometries were 1:1 as determined by Job’s method and calculated by UV-Visible titrations.

Synopsis Chapter IV Synthesis of functional core modified porphyrins in acidic ionic liquids and their noncovalent interactions The core-modified porphyrins have different aromatic character and stabilize the metals in unusual oxidation states than the normal porphyrins. The assembly of such heteroatom
substituted porphyrin (N3S, N3O, N2S2, N2O2, N2SO, etc.) with normal porphyrin (N4 core) or an assembly of two different heteroatom substituted porphyrins would offer unique arrays with unusual electronic structure and interesting properties.
The 21,23-dithiaporphyrins have been prepared by the reaction of diols which were synthesized by the reaction of thiophene and substituted benzaldehyde in presence of
TMEDA and butyl lithium in dry hexane. Further the reaction of diol with excess of pyrrole in presence of task-specific acidic ionic liquids gave the trimer and this trimer reacted with
diol in presence of acidic ionic liquids followed by oxidation with DDQ and molecular
oxygen gave desired products as core modified porphyrins in moderate yields (Scheme 4.1). The structures were confirmed by UV-Visible and NMR spectroscopic methods. R1

Synopsis Chapter V Synthesis of 5-substituted dipyrromethanes and their applications in the synthesis of expanded porphyrins and core-modified expanded porphyrins
The expanded porphyrins are synthetic analogues of porphyrin and they contain more than 18
π electrons in conjugated pathway either due to an increased number of pyrroles or due to multiple of meso-carbon bridges. The expanded porphyrins bind to various anions and they
are used in materials and medicinal chemistry. The expanded porphyrins coordinate with large cations like lanthanide and actinides, anions complexation and transport magnetic resonance imaging constrast agents, photodynamic therapy sensitizers and building blocks in
nonlinear materials. The important members of expanded porphyrins containing five pyrroles
or heterocycles are pentaphyrin, sapphyrin and smaragdyrin. The synthesis of sapphyrin and
related expanded porphyrins by condensation of dipyrromethanes and tripyrromethane in
presence of different acids and their non-covalent interactions has been reported in the present chapter.
The 5-substituteddipyrromethanes are important precursors for the synthesis of
calix[4]pyrroles, calix[4]phyrins, porphyrins, expanded porphyrins and porphyrin analogues.
The 5-substituteddipyrromethanes were synthesized by the reaction of pyrrole with aromatic aldehydes in presence of different acidic conditions in good to excellent yields at room
temperature. A series of thiophene diols have been synthesized starting from substituted
acetophenones and different substituted benzaldehydes and used as organic acids in the synthesis of 5-substituted dipyrromethanes (scheme 5.1). R' R1 N H 1
