The “reversed ring” in uroporphyrinogen(III) (uro'gen III), the parent compound of all natural porphyrins, etc. , could arise in two different ways: (i) by isomerization of a head‐to‐tail linked bilane such as (1) on ring closure or (ii) by formation of a precursor with a “reversed” ring. Enzymatic studies now show the former route to apply.
