Pyropheophorbide-a methyl ester was used as a starting material, and the chemical modification was carried out making use of its active groups attached to the chlorin periphery to establish the formyl group, ketene and α-diketone moieties around the N²¹-N²³ axis. The nitrations or nitroalkylations at 3-, 12-, 20-position and on the exocyclic ring were performed by the electrophilic substitution on the aromatic macrocyclic chromophore, Henry reaction at the active carbonyl groups, and Michael addition to the β-keto ester and the ketene structures on the exocyclic ring as different donor-acceptor. A series of unreported nitro(nitroalkyl) substituted chlorins related to chlorophyll were synthesized and their chemical structures were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR and ¹H NMR spectra.
