Meso-Tetraarylporphyrins Bearing Nitro or Amino Groups: Synthetic Strategies and Reactivity Profiles

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Synthesis and Modifications of Porphyrinoids

Part of the book series: Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry ((TOPICS,volume 33))

Abstract

Porphyrins bearing nitro and amino substituents have been used as excellent synthons for further functionalization in order to obtain new compounds with adequate features for a wide range of applications. This chapter brings an update on the effort of several research groups to study the synthesis and reactivity features of meso-tetraarylporphyrins bearing those functionalities.
