Synthesis of 5-(4'-Hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tri(4'-trimethylsilylphenyl)Porphyrin

The new biomimetic catalyst,5-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tri(4'-trimethylsilylphenyl) porphyrin,was synthesized according to Lindsey's method. The method for purification of the above porphyrin was studied in detail and a good method to get the pure target porphyrin was found. The structure was characterized based on 1H NMR,MS and UV spectra.
