New Strategies for the Synthesis of Biologically Important Tetrapyrroles. The “B,C + D + A” Approach to Linear Tetrapyrroles

Abstract
Linear tetrapyrroles related to phytochrome (1) were prepared in enantiospecific fashion by a new strategy beginning with ring-B,C synthons of type 19 (bis-iododipyrrins). Rings A and D were elaborated by Pd(0)-mediated coupling of 19a with the appropriate alkyne acid or amide derivatives 9 and 20, followed by intramolecular cyclization (method C: BC + D + A → ABCD).
