Abstract

The Vilsmeier reaction of nickel(II) chlorin P6 trimethyl ester with 3-dimethyl-aminoacrolein yielded nickel(II) chlorin P6 20-(2-formylvinyl) trimethyl ester and nickel(II) chlorin P6 3-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3-devinyl-20-(2-formylvinyl) trimethyl ester. Also, the outgrowths of nickel(II) chlorin P6 20-(2-formyl) trimethyl ester and nickel(II) chlorin P6 3-(2-formylvinyl)-3-devinyl-20-(2-formyl) trimethyl ester were obtained by Vilsmeier reaction with dimethylformamide. By treating the derivatives of nickel(II) 20-(2-formyl)-chlorin and nickel(II) 3-(2-formylvinyl)-20-(2-formyl)-chlorin with trifluoracetic acid, the removal of the central nickel(II) ion was accomplished. The derivatives of 20-(2-formyl)-chlorin and 3-(2-formylvinyl)-20-(2-formyl)-chlorin demonstrated considerable bathochromic shift of the major absorption band in the red region of the optical spectrum.
