Total synthesis of carboranylchlorins 3 and 4, from readily available starting materials, are described and the molecular structures of two key intermediates are presented. Chlorins 3 and 4 show similar spectroscopic behavior but differ considerably in their solubility properties; whereas closo-carboranylchlorin 3 is completely insoluble in water, its nido derivative 4 has good water-solubility. Carboranylchlorin 3 absorbs in the red region of the optical spectrum (at lambda(max)=642 nm) six times more strongly than porphyrin 1, and displays a fluorescence emission band at lambda(max)=651 nm, upon excitation at 642 nm. The water-soluble carboranylchlorin 4 also displays intense absorption and emission bands at lambda(max)=642 and 651 nm, respectively, in ethanol solution. It is concluded that carboranylchlorins 3 and 4 have higher promise for the dual application in PDT and BNCT than do comparable porphyrins.
本文描述了从易得的起始原料全合成碳硼烷二氢卟吩3和4,并给出了两种关键中间体的分子结构。二氢卟吩3和4表现出相似的光谱行为,但它们的溶解性有很大差异;巢式碳硼烷二氢卟吩3完全不溶于水,而其棱式衍生物4具有良好的水溶性。碳硼烷二氢卟吩3在光谱的红色区域(λ(max)=642 nm)的吸收强度比卟啉1强六倍,并且在642 nm激发时,在λ(max)=651 nm处显示出荧光发射带。水溶性碳硼烷二氢卟吩4在乙醇溶液中也分别在λ(max)=642和651 nm处显示出强烈的吸收和发射带。得出的结论是,与类似的卟啉相比,碳硼烷二氢卟吩3和4在光动力疗法(PDT)和硼中子俘获疗法(BNCT)中的双重应用具有更高的前景。
