Identification of polar porphyrins in oil shale

Abstract
Several porphyrin acids [(1)–(6); C30–C33] have been isolated from the Messel oil shale and identified by nuclear Overhauser effect studied and synthesis; they imply the existence of several diagenetic pathways leading from the chlorophylls to the alkylpetroporphyrins.
