45. 2-porphyrin 11a could be pursued under optimized Lindsey "minimal scrambling" conditions: B. J. Littler, Y. Ciringh, J. S. Lindsey, J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 2864-2872. At this stage, however, the observed scrambling was considered more an advantage to obtain all differently substituted ?neio-indolocarbazolylporphyins from a single reaction, enabling their photophysical comparison.
