Abstract:
Phenolic porphyrins 1, 4, and 5 form stable phenoxyl radicals 3, 6, and 7 in deoxygenated as well as oxygenated basic solutions. Mechanistic schemes are presented, involving coupled disproportionation and conproportionation reactions, that do not require oxygen involvement in the redox processes leading to phenoxyl radicals.
