Description

3,7,12,17-Tetramethyl-8,13-Bis[2-[(Trimethylsilyl)Oxy]Ethyl]-21H,23H-Porphyrin-2,18-Dipropanoic Acid Dimethyl Ester is a highly functionalized porphyrin derivative, a key synthetic intermediate in advanced materials and pharmaceutical research. Its value lies in its precisely engineered structure, which incorporates both porphyrin core functionality and silyl-protected hydroxyl groups, enabling controlled reactivity for complex syntheses. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of organic electronics, photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents, and catalysis, where tailored porphyrin scaffolds are required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical building block for the synthesis of novel photosensitizers used in Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment.
• Organic Electronics: Serves as a precursor for functional materials in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), and molecular semiconductors.
• Catalysis Research: Used to develop sophisticated metalloporphyrin catalysts for selective oxidation and other organic transformations.
• Chemical Sensing: Acts as a core structure for designing selective chemosensors and molecular probes due to its tunable optical properties.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Employed in creating porphyrin-based polymers, dendrimers, and supramolecular assemblies for nanotechnology applications.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for exploring new reactions and properties of modified porphyrin systems.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
