32. During this study we found that use of analytically pure dipyrromethanes, prepared as described in ref 12, was imperative to achieve both the highest yields and the minimum scrambling.

35. The stoichiometry of the dipyrromethane-aldehyde condensation requires 1.5 mol of DDQ per 1 mol of dipyrromethane (giving 3 mol of DDQ per 1 mol of porphyrinogen). We have found that the oxidation can often be performed with less than the stoichiometric amount (1 mol of DDQ per 1 mol of dipyrromethane) without a decrease in the porphyrin yield or change in chlorin content. With 0.5 mol of DDQ per 1 mol of dipyrromethane, the yield did decline and the amount of chlorin increased.
