5,10,15-Triphenylcorrole: a product from a modified Rothemund reaction

Abstract

One-pot synthesis of 5,10,15-triphenylcorrole has been achieved by reaction of benzaldehyde with an excess of pyrrole; the triphenylphosphinocobalt complex of 5,10,15-triphenylcorrole has been structurally characterized using X-ray crystallography.
