Abstract
The present invention provides methods of making porphyrins and related compounds such as chlorins by condensing suitable starting materials (e.g., a dipyrromethane-dicarbinol plus dipyrromethane) in a polar solvent in the presence of a Lewis acid. The reactions are preferably carried out in a manner that minimizes rearrangement of the reaction product.
