Efficient synthesis of aryldipyrromethanes in water and their application in the synthesis of corroles and dipyrromethenes

In this paper, we describe the efficient and selective synthesis of aryldipyrromethanes in aqueous medium by acid-catalyzed (HCl) condensations of aromatic aldehydes with 3 equivalents of pyrrole at room temperature. The precipitated aryldipyrromethanes can be isolated directly from the reaction mixture in an essentially pure state by simple filtration. Time control seems to be essential to avo...

Design and Synthesis of A Novel Bis-Benzimidazolyl Podand As a Responsive Chemosensors for Anions

      A novel podand based anion receptor bearing benzimidazole motifs as recognition sites was designed and synthesized by reaction of 1,7-bis(2'-methylbenzoate)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane and phenylenediamine. The binding properties of anionic guest with this receptor were studied using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. These studies revealed that this receptor exhibit selective recognition towar...

Metal corroles as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction.

The rotating ring disk electrode method has been used to study O2 electroreduction with metal corroles. Catalysis begins at potentials that are 0.5-0.7 V more positive than the expected potential of the M(III/II) couple based on studies in non-aqueous solutions. The path of O2 reduction depends on the nature of the metal ion. Cobalt corroles promote O2 reduction to H2O2. Iron corroles catalyse ...
