Methyl pheophorbide-a (MPa) was used as starting material. The coupling reaction of MPa with diazobenzene hydrochloride, hydrobromide and sulfate was carried out to give traces of expected product, while major products were 20-halogenated and nitroso-substituted chlorins. Zinc methyl pyropheophorbide-a reacted with 3-N,N-dimethylacrolein to give Vilsmeier product. The bromination of pyropheophorbide-d with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) formed single 20-brominated product, the vinyl group of which was resumed by Wittig reaction to give 20-bromopyropheophorbide-a. The electrophilic substitution of other chlorphyllous degradation products afforded corresponding 20-meso-substituted chlorin derivatives in better yields, respectively. The structures of all the new chlorins with basic skeleton of chlorophyll were characterized by UV, IR, 1H NMR spectra and elemental analysis.
Key words: chlorophyll-a; pheophorbide-a; pyropheophorbide-a; chlorin; electrophilic reaction
