A series of 2(α,β-unsaturated-γ-keto)-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrins was obtained by condensation of 2-formyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin with acetone, 1,4-diacetylbenzene, 2-acetylthiophene, acetylacetone and acetophenone according to the Claisen-Schmidt reaction. The condensation product with 1,4-diacetylbenzene could react similarly with another formyl derivative – quinoxalin-6-carboxaldehyde and 2-formyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin. It is shown that this reaction passes through formation of iminium salt formylporphyrin in presence of free base piperidine and perchloric acid.
