介绍了由四个吡咯环和四个次甲基桥联起来具有大π共轭体系的卟啉化合物的结构特性。重点概述了合成卟啉化合物的Rothemund法、Adler法、Lindsey法、微波诱导法、郭灿城法、Macdonald法等方法。Adler法因其具有操作简单、产率高(>20%)、后处理容易等优点,是目前合成卟啉化合物最通用的方法。并简要介绍了合成金属卟啉化合物的“两步法”。? The structural characteristics of porphyrin compounds with large π-conjugated systems bridged by four pyrrole rings and four methine bridges are introduced. The methods of Rothemund method, Adler method, Lindsey method, microwave induction method, Guo Cancheng method and Macdonald method were summarized. The Adler method is currently the most versatile method for the synthesis of porphyrin compounds due to its advantages of simple operation, high yield (> 20%) and easy post-treatment. The “two-step method” of synthesizing metalloporphyrins was briefly introduced. ?
