The First Direct Synthesis of Corroles from Pyrrole

Abstract
The solvent-free, catalyst-free condensation of pyrrole and aldehydes provides an extremely facile synthetic pathway to novel corroles [Eq. (1); Ar=C6F5, 2,6-F2C6H3, 2,6-Cl2C6H3]. The product containing pentafluorophenyl groups is an excellent precursor of other derivatives, including an ionic, water-soluble corrole.
