title: meso-Pyrrole-Substituted 22-Oxacorroles: Building Blocks for the Synthesis of BODIPY-Bridged 22-Oxacorrole Dyads.
abstract: Novel boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-bridged 22-oxacorrole dyads, using meso-pyrrolyl 22-oxacorrole as a key synthon, have been synthesized. The reactivity of the meso-pyrrolyl group of 22-oxacorrole was exploited to synthesize the first examples of BODIPY-bridged 22-oxacorrole dyads in ≈40 % yield. The dyads are stable and exhibited interesting spectral and electrochemical properties.
