Abstract

The Glaser–Hay coupling reaction of a tetraphenylporphyrin derivative having two acetylenes in the quasi-trans positions was carried out. Although this oxidative coupling reaction has high reactivity and produces various butadiynylene oligomers, the degree of oligo­merization was low. A large substrate and/or product might decrease the frequency factor of the Arrhenius equation and the resultant rate constant. This finding is in agreement with that of the one-pot synthesis of structurally well-defined porphyrin oligomers, such as trimers and tetramers, which are used frequently in the field of advanced materials.
