From methyl pheophorbide-a which was used as a starting material, purpurin-7 trimethyl ester and chlorin-p6 trimethyl ester were synthesized by hydrogation-opening ring, allomerization and rearrangement reaction. The synthesis of ten unreported chlorin derivatives related to chlorophyll-a was accomplished by electrophilic adduction, electrophilic substitution, 1,3-dipolar cycloadduction and oxidation-rearrangement reaction to chemical modifications for C(3)-vinyl group, 20-meso-position, methyl group at 12-position and ester moieties at terminal positions. The structures of all new chlorins were characterized by UV, IR, 1H NMR spectra and elemental analysis.
