title: Synthesis of fluorine analogs of protoporphyrin potentially useful for diagnosis and therapy of cancer. IV. Synthesis of (trifluorovinyl)vinyl- and (1-chloro-2,2-difluorovinyl)vinyldeuteroporphyrins.
abstract: Trifluoro or chlorodifluoro analogs of protoporphyrin, the compounds in the title, were synthesized for use in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer. 3- Or 8-acetyldeuteroporphyrin dimethyl esters (2 and 3) were iodinated with iodine in the presence of potassium carbonate to the corresponding iodo compounds (5 and 6). The iodo compounds (5 and 6) were treated with bis(trifluorovinyl)zinc in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium to give trifluorovinyl derivatives (7 and 8) in good yields. Reduction of the acetyl group of 7 and 8 with sodium borohydride afforded the corresponding hydroxyethyl derivatives (9 and 10). Compounds (9 and 10) were dehydrated with methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine to give (trifluorovinyl)vinyldeuteroporphyrin dimethyl esters (11 and 12). Treatment of 5 and 6 with bis(1-chloro-2,2-difluorovinyl)zinc in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, followed by similar reactions as above gave (1-chloro-2,2-difluorovinyl)-vinyldeuteroporphyrin dimethyl esters (17 and 18).
