Synthesis of meso-5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4-isopropylphenyl) Porphyrin and its Metalloporphyrins

The reaction conditions were explored for the synthesis of meso-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-isopropylphenyl) porphyrin in organic solvents catalyzed by organic acid,and optimized the reaction conditions between porphyrin and metal ions,then cobalt(Ⅱ),nickel(Ⅱ),copper(Ⅱ),zinc(Ⅱ),lead(Ⅱ) and vanadyl(Ⅱ) metal porphyrins have been synthesized.The results showed that the yield of porphyrin up to 25.28% by using anisole as the solvent and catalyzed by chloroacetic acid.The structure was confirmed by elemental analysis,UV-Vis and1HNMR.
