115. (a) In our hands these conditions published for the synthesis of meso-boronic acid esters of TAPs by Hyslop et al. did give β-borylated TAPs starting from the respective β-brominated porphyrins, too, but in very low yields (e.g., 25-30% for 3a as compared to 70% with our optimized procedure, Table 1, entries 1 and 8).

123. 27 the monomeric coupling partners had no meso substituents, so that no competing intramolecular Heck-like cyclization could occur.
124. Using KOAc not even traces of the Heck-annulated product 2 were detected by TLC.

153. Regarding the rotational barriers the calculations fail to differentiate between the Pd/Pd and the Cu/Cu dimer, certainly because the Pd/Pd complex should be influenced by relativistic effects that can not be taken into account with the used methods.
154. 70 Despite the apparent steric hindrance by the meso substituents it might indeed be imaginable that the meso-aryl substituted bisporphyrins in this paper may form aggregates.
