Norcorrole is a ring-contracted porphyrinoid, exhibiting distinct antiaromaticity. Herein, we report the reactions of -dimesitylnorcorrole Ni(II) complex with two types of carbenes: dichlorocarbene and an -heterocyclic carbene (NHC). The reaction with in-situ-generated dichlorocarbene resulted in the double insertion of two chloromethine units to provide a mixture of 5,15-dichloroporphyrin and chlorinated isopyricorroles. The nucleophilic NHC attacked the 3-position of the norcorrole core and the subsequent proton transfer furnished a nonconjugated macrocycle incorporating a diazafulvene segment.
降卟啉是一种环收缩的类卟啉,具有明显的反芳香性。在此,我们报道了二甲基降卟啉镍(II)配合物与两种卡宾的反应:二氯卡宾和N-杂环卡宾(NHC)。与原位生成的二氯卡宾反应导致两个氯亚甲基单元的双重插入,生成5,15-二氯卟啉和氯化异吡咯降卟啉的混合物。亲核性的NHC进攻降卟啉核心的3-位,随后的质子转移产生了一个包含二氮富烯片段的非共轭大环。
