Porphyrin Derivatives of Macrocyclic Tetraindoles: Synthesis and Chemical Transformations

Аннотация

Polyphenols chemically bonded to a molecular platform based on macrocyclic tetraindole porphyrin derivatives were synthesized for the first time. The tetraindole was prepared by two-step tetramerization of 3-(4′-bromophenyl)-4,6-dimetoxyindole. Polyphenols of this type were obtained by the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction between bromo-containing cyclic tetraindole and monoboryl-substituted porphyrin. The subsequent transformations of this molecular construction gave rise to epoxidized polyphenol on a tetraindole support, which served for the development of a new negative resist for electron-beam nanolithography. The resist can form patterns with a 12 nm resolution.
