Abstract: Various methods for obtaining meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrins, additionally modified with polyfluoroalkoxy substituents are considered. One of the variants for macrocycle assembling includes synthesis and condensation of polyfluoroalkylbenzaldehydes obtained by substitution of para- and ortho-fluorines in the starting pentafluorobenzaldehyde by polyfluoroaliphatic alcohols. Direct substitution of fluorines in meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin by polyfluoroaliphatic alcohols was carried out as an alternative.

Keywords: Fluorine-containing porphyrins, meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin, polyfluoroaliphatic alcohols, pentafluorobenzaldehyde, nucleophilic substitution of fluorine.

Porphyrin compounds play the key role in a number of chemical and biochemical processes. The possibility of introducing substituents of various nature in a porphyrin cycle essentially extends the range of their potential applications in various fields of chemical technology as catalysts, components of photoactive materials and pharmaceuticals. Recently the considerable attention has been paid to the studies of fluorinated porphyrins in connection with the development FBS (Fluorous Biphasic System) technology [1,2], the works directed to design of photoelectroactive materials having hydrophobic characteristics [3,4] and expanding the range of effective photosensitizers potentially applicable in photodynamic therapy of cancer [5]. It was reported that solubility in perfluorocarbon media and hydrophobicity of porphyrins are provided by introducing not less than four perfluoroalkyl substituents having 3 to 8 carbons [1,2] whereas the presence of trifluoromethyl substituents markedly affect the redox properties [6].

Currently, the main methods for preparing fluorinated porphyrins are catalytic alkylation with perfluoroalkyliodides, or introducing fluorine-containing moieties by nucleophilic substitutions [7]. For the reason of extending sphere of fluorinated porphyrins applications, a search for new methods for their synthesis still remains topical. Our approach for solving this problem consists in either use of polyfluoroaliphatic alcohols in substitutions of fluorines in pentafluorobenzaldehyde under the action of base followed by condensation of the prepared compounds to give a macrocycle (Method А), or the similar substitution of the activated fluorines in aromatic rings of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin (Method B).

Aldehyde-pyrrole condensation of polyfluoroalkoxy substituted benzaldehyde (Method A)

The substitution of the activated fluorine in para-position of pentafluorobenzaldehyde (PFBA) was earlier demonstrated by the example of a number of phenols [8], wherein such specific bases as potassium and cesium fluorides were used for formation of corresponding phenolates. We took this procedure as a base one for introducing polyfluorinated alcohol residues with relatively high acidity (рКа ~12-13) into PFBA molecule. Actually it was shown that interaction of PFBA with equimolar amounts of various polyfluoroaromatic alcohols or pentafluorophenol led to formation polyfluoroalkoxy- and phenoxy-benzaldehyde (1a-d). The reactions were carried out in dimethylformamide at room temperature up to complete conversion of the starting aldehyde (according to TLC data). It should be noted that in the case of three-fold excess of the corresponding alcohols, we didn’t observe substitution the ortho-fluorines in PFBA irrespective of the reaction time. At the same time the possibility of formation of the corresponding 2,4,6-substituted benzaldehyde (1e,f) in good yields was demonstrated in the case of increasing the reaction temperature to 60°С.

Aldehyde-pyrrole condensation of the prepared polyfluorophenoxy- and alkoxy-benzaldehydes (1a-c) was carried out using Lindsey method [9] recommended for the synthesis of porphyrins from aldehydes having bulk substituents. The reactions were carried in dichloromethane at room temperature in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate and using DDQ as an oxidizing agent. The corresponding symmetrical porphyrins (2a-c) were synthesized and characterized by NMR and mass spectroscopy. The yields were good for the compounds of this class.

According to literature data, the presence of even small substituents (for example methyl or methoxy) in positions 2 and 6 of benzaldehydes significantly hinders formation of porphyrins. Condensation of ortho-substituted benzaldehydes with pyrrole resulting to porphyrins requires the use of a cocatalyst (ethanol), as had been demonstrated by the example of mesitylaldehyde [10]. Application of this procedure to condensation of aldehyde (1f) with pyrrole led to formation of the corresponding porphyrin (2f), but the yield of this product did not exceed 2%. The attempt to carry out the reaction with aldehyde (1e) has failed, this can be explained either by the greater steric bulk of the substituents (1,1-Н,Н-perfluoroheptyloxy- in comparison with pentafluorophenoxy-group) or low solubility of intermediate compounds in chloroform that we observed in both cases.

Substitution of activated fluorines in aromatic rings of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin by polyfluoroalkoxy moieties (Method B) [11].

As we mentioned above, the reaction of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TF20PPH2) with various fluorine-containing N-, S-, and O-nucleophiles under the action of bases [7] can be also used as a method for introducing polyfluoroalkyl substituents in a porphyrin molecule. At the same time any examples with using of long-chain polyfluoroaliphatic alcohols in these reactions were not reported in literature, therefore we based on the procedure proposed for their non-fluorinated analogues [12].

The substitution reactions were carried out by heating TF20PPH2 in tetrahydrofuran with polyfluoroaliphatic alcohols in the presence of potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate (see Scheme, Method B). The best results were achieved when HOCH2C6F13and HOCH2C8F17 were used, tetrasubstituted porphyrins (2g,h) were isolated in 37% and 47% yields, respectively. The formation of mono-, di- and tri-substituted porphyrins as the by-products of this reaction was observed (according to NMR and mass-spectroscopy), these products make it difficult to isolate and purify of the tetrasubstituted porphyrins. The use of substantial excess of the polyfluoroaliphatic alcohol in this reaction (by the example of HOCH2(CF2)2H) and increasing the reaction time didn’t result in selective formation of tetrasubstituted porphyrin. However in this case we observed that in the reaction mixtures contained the products of substituting fluorines not only in para-positions, but also in ortho- and meta-positions of pentafluorophenyl moieties.

Experimental

Reaction mixture was refluxed under argon for 12 h (reaction course was controlled by TLC). After removing of the solvent residue was poured into water and extracted by diethyl ether. Organic layer was washed with by saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 (2 x 40 ml) and dried over CaCl2. After removing of the solvent product was purified in 2 steps: 1) flash-chromatography (aluminium oxide, hexane – chloroform = 1:1), 2) column chromatography (aluminium oxide, gradient elution hexane - chloroform) to afford 95 mg of violet powder (yield 35%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ, ppm): -2.89 (s, 2H, NH), 5.06 (t, 8H, J = 12.72 Hz, OCH2), 8.94 (s, 8H, Pyr-H),. 19F NMR (CDCl3, δ, ppm): -78.47 (m, 8F, CAr-Forto), -59.43 (m, 8F, CAr-Fmeta), -48.34 (s, 8F, CF2), -45.17 (s, 8F, CF2), -44.92 (s, 8F, CF2), -44.07 (s, 24F, CF2CF2CF2), -42.65 (s, 8F, CF2), -3.00 (s, 12F, CF3). MS (APCI), m/z: 1834.6 [M+H-2C8F17CH2]+.

Reactions of TF20PPH2 with the number of fluorinated alkochols were considired there.
