The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 2-methyl-N-confused porphyrin with 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile oxide yielded four isomeric monoadducts of carbachlorin type and one diadduct of carbabacteriochlorin type. Two major carbachlorin products, constituting 82% of the monoadducts, were shown to be str...
