title: Electrochemically driven intramolecular ring closure of a linear hexapyrrole.
abstract: [24]hexaphyrin(1.0.1.0.0.0) was electrochemically synthesized in good yield starting from a linear hexapyrrolic precursor. This straightforward approach provides an efficient "green" alternative to the reported chemical synthesis, which requires the use of trifluoroacetic acid as the solvent and toxic chromium(VI) salts as the oxidant.
