Significance

Cavaleiro and co-workers constructed porphyrin-chlorin and porphyrin-tetra­azachlorin dyads through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with azomethine ylide 1 generated in situ. Following the finding that porphyrin can participate in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, the authors synthesized porphyrinic azomethine ylide 1, which can react with various dipolarophiles including several porphyrines.
