Abstract

Regiospecific nitration of single p-substituted tetraphenylporphyrins with excess nitric acid is reported. The directive effects of different p-substituents, including nitro, acetamido and hydroxy groups, were demonstrated. The electron-withdrawing p-nitro group was found to lead to predominant nitration at the neighboring phenyl ring, and the electron-releasing p-acetamido and p-hydroxy groups lead to adjacent nitration at the same phenyl ring.
