Abstract
Several kinds of cycloaddition reactions were applied to C3-ethynylated pyropheophorbide-a methyl ester to develop C3-functionalized chlorophyll derivatives. Its [2+2] cycloaddition with tetracyanoethylene, [2+3] cycloaddition with diazomethane, [2+3] Huisgen reaction with trimethylsilyl azide, and [2+4] Diels–Alder reaction with tetraphenylcyclopentadienone gave the expected products in moderate to high yields. Zinc complex of the resulting 3-pyrazolyl-chlorin was found to show self-aggregation in a less polar solvent, in an aqueous micelle, and in the solid thin films more readily than the corresponding zinc 3-triazolyl-chlorin.
