Abstract

Studies on amination of electrophilic porphyrins are described. Several reagents such as hydro­xylamine, 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole, and seven various sulfenamides were tested in the reac­tions with nitro-substituted porphyrins. Products of direct amination were observed (formed ac­cording to VNS mechanism) which were usually accompanied with other substitution of hydro­gen products (formed according to ONSH mechanism), for example compounds substituted with t-BuO group when tert-butoxide was used as a base in the reaction. The best results were achie­ved with 2,4,6-trichlorophenylsulfenamide, however, the yields varied from low to moderate.
