Description

3,8,13-Tris(Carboxymethyl)-18-Methyl-21H,23H-Porphine-2,7,12,17-Tetrapropanoic Acid is a highly functionalized porphyrin derivative, a key synthetic intermediate in the development of advanced materials and pharmaceuticals. Its value lies in its multiple reactive carboxylate groups, which allow for versatile conjugation and modification, making it essential for creating targeted molecular systems. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial R&D teams in the fields of photodynamic therapy, catalysis, and as a precursor for sophisticated chemical sensors and dyes.

Application

• Photosensitizer Precursor: A critical building block for synthesizing next-generation photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment.
• Catalyst Ligand: Serves as a multi-dentate ligand for constructing homogeneous catalysts, particularly in oxidation and C-H activation reactions.
• Chemical Sensor Development: Used to fabricate porphyrin-based sensors for detecting metal ions, gases, or biological molecules due to its strong chromophore and binding sites.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: A key monomer for creating porphyrin-containing polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and supramolecular assemblies with unique optical and electronic properties.
• Dye and Pigment Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of high-value, functional dyes and pigments for specialized applications in imaging and electronics.
• Bioconjugation Research: Its carboxymethyl groups facilitate covalent attachment to biomolecules (proteins, antibodies) for diagnostic and therapeutic agent development.
