Abstract: An improved methodology is developed for the N-alkylation of the porphyrin isomer N-confused porphyrin. The combination of polar solvent conditions and the utilization of the base Cs2CO3 afford extremely modified products in high yields without separation difficulties and without the use of large excesses of alkylating agent.
