Synthesis and photochemistry of AZO-type derivitized porphyrins with crosslinking applications

The objective of this work was to synthetically modify porphyrins such that they would possess a functionality that would crosslink within its biological environment upon photoactivation, in photodynamic therapy applications. The reaction of diazomethane and protoporphyrin dimethylester (9) yield...
