Extending mechanochemical porphyrin synthesis to bulkier aromatics: tetramesitylporphyrin

Aldehydes with bulky substituents in the ortho-positions have been historically difficult in porphyrin synthesis, presumably owing to steric hindrance around the reactive site. We have used mechanochemistry for the simple, room-temperature synthesis of tetra-meso-substituted porphyrins. In the prese...
