Synthesis and characterization of six new carbazolyl porphyrins

Novel 4-(N-carbazole methyl) benzoic acid and N-carbazolacetic acid are synthesized, then six new carbazolyl porphyrins are synthesized by bonding these acids to hydroxy porphyrin or amido porphyrin via acyl chloride or N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC)-dimethylaminopyndine methods. The formations of these title compounds, as well as their intermediates are characterized by 1H NMR, mass spectrometry, Fourier transform-infrared, and elemental analysis.
