Oxidized forms of a tripyrrane: alpha-tripyrrinone, beta-tripyrrinone and a C2 symmetric hexapyrrole.
alpha- and beta-tripyrrinone isomers (), and a C(2) symmetric hexapyrrole () were isolated from the oxidation of meso-perfluorophenyl tripyrrane (and meso-2,6-dichlorophenyl tripyrrane ) with DDQ under aerobic conditions, and the structure of was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
