摘要

Methyl pyropheophorbide-a was used as starting material and converted into 3-formyl or 3-acetyl substituted and E-ring protected reactive precursors. The Grignard reactions of these carbonyl groups introduced alkynyl groups at 3-position to build the tent-alcohol or sec-alcohol structures. Further dehydrations and oxidations produced terminal eneyne and ketyne substituted chlorins, respectively. The pyropheophorbide-a with long chain alkyl group at 3-position was obtained by Grignard reaction with decyl magnesium bromide, protection for E-ring and oxidation of C(3)-hydroxyl group from 3-formylpyropheophorbide-a, converted into chlorin containing eneyne moiety in chain by acid-catalyzed dehydration. The structures of all new chlorin derivatives were characterized by elemental analysis, UV, IR and H-1 NMR spectra. The possible mechanisms about corresponding reactions were tentatively proposed.
