Selective synthesis of β-unsubstituted meso-aryl substituted tripyrranes in water

A convenient method for the synthesis of β-unsubstituted meso-aryl substituted tripyrranes was developed. Pyrrole condensed with aldehyde in acidic aqueous to produce tripyrranes selectively in moderate yield. The selectivity for tripyrranes depended on the electronic and steric properties of aldehy...
