title: Gold(III) Triggered Transformations of 22-Methyl-m-benziporphyrin Involving an Effective Contraction of Benzene to Cyclopentadiene.
abstract: A structurally prearranged carbaporphyrin, 22-methyl-m-benziporphyrin, provided the perfect macrocyclic platform to form gold(III) 22-methyl-m-benziporphyrin, which facilitates the specific m-benzene ring contraction yielding gold(III) 21-methyl 21-carbaporphyrin with remarkably high yield.
