Confusion leads to cooperative reactivity : Oxidative ring‐closure reactions of oligopyrranes containing two terminal confused pyrroles yield expanded porphyrinoids, which show cooperative reactivity between the directly linked confused pyrroles. These transformations constitute a new method for the synthesis of novel porphyrinoids with unconventional pyrrole linking modes and unique properties.
