摘要
3,8-Divinyl-chlorophyll(Chl)-a possessing a phytyl ester was hydrogenated in acetone by rhodium catalyst on alumina to afford 3-vinyl-8-ethyl-, 3-ethyl-8-vinyl- and 3,8-diethyl-Chls. The ratio of produced 3-ethyl-8-vinyl- over 3-vinyl-8-ethyl-Chls was determined to be 1.2, indicating that the reactivity of the 3-vinyl group was slightly higher than that of the 8-vinyl group. Catalytic hydrogenation of divinyl-proto-chlorophyll-a possessing a porphyrin pi-skeleton (C17=C18) instead of the above chlorin moiety (C17H-C18H) gave an equal amount of mono-reduced regioisomers. The slight (or no) selectivity is different from that in the enzymatic reduction of divinyl-(proto)chlorophyllides-a lacking a phytyl ester in the bio-synthetic pathway of Chl-a where the sole 8-vinyl group is transformed to the ethyl group.
