Porphine and pyrrole-substituted porphyrin from cyclocondensation of tripyrrane with mono-substituted pyrroles

The condensation of non-substituted tripyrrane with mono-substituted pyrroles did not lead to corrole, but to porphine and 5-pyrrolyl-porphyrin. Both compounds were fully characterized by a combination of spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography.
