Chemistry of α-Aminonitriles. Regioselective Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Uroporphyrinogen (Type I) OctanitrileA regioselective synthesis of uroporphyrinogen-octanitrile (type I) based on the strategy of multiple use of (dimethylmethylidene)ammonium iodide for stepwise regioselective functionalization of the pyrrole nucleus is described. This uroporphyrinogen derivative is remarkably stable and beautifully crystallizes in space group P1 with one molecule per unit cell. The crystal structure of the compound shows interesting conformational characteristics which are interpreted to be caused by subtle stereoelectronic effects. The English Footnotes to Schemes 1-3 and Figs. 1-12 provide an extension of this summary.
