Ready syntheses of benzoporphyrins via Diels–Alder reactions with protoporphyrin IX

Abstract
Reaction of protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester with strongly activated dienophiles causes a Diels–Alder reaction to occur with the porphyrin periphery; elimination of the angular methyl group from these adducts gives monobenzoporphyrins.
