NON-AROMATIC MACROCYCLIC COMPOUND HAVING HETEROELEMENT AND METHODS OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide expanded porphyrin having a thiophene ring and a method of producing the same.SOLUTION: For example, an expanded porphyrin compound is obtained by subjecting 2,5-bis(4-propyl-2-pyrrolyl)thiophene and an aromatic aldehyde represented by the general formula ArCOH (Ar represents a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group) to a cyclization reaction under acidic conditions and subsequently oxidizing the product.
