1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene as Reaction Medium: An Efficient One-Step Formation of Etioporphyrine from ProtoporphyrineHeating the commercially available protoporphyrine (4) in molten 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) at 200° for 4 h under exclusion of O2 produces etioporphyrine (6) in 60-70% yield by bisdecarboxylation and concomitant reduction of the two vinyl groups. Mesoporphyrine (5) is bisdecarboxylated to 6 in over 80% yield under these conditions in TBD as well as in DBU as the reaction medium.
