A new synthesis of octaarylporphyrin: Naturally occurring porphyrin mimics.

Abstract
Octaarylporphyrins were obtained in high yields by cyclization of 3, 4-darylpyrrole with formaldehyde and subsequant DDQ oxidation. The reaction intermediates identified as porphyrinogen and porphodimethene have been characterized spectroscopically.
