Abstract

Bergman cyclization Enediynes Porphyrins
Synthetic methodology to prepare porphyrinylethynyl enediynes has been developed. Compared to phenylethynyl derivatives, a bulky porphyrinic substituent on the alkyne significantly increases the thermal barrier toward Bergman cyclization and leads to multiple photolysis products.
