Boron(III) 5‐arylsubporphyrins and B III subporphine are promising precursors for functional B III subporphyrins bearing asymmetric meso ‐substituents. Herein, we report the first synthesis of these molecules. Among many aryl acid chlorides examined, 4‐nitrobenzoyl chloride gave B III 5‐(4‐nitrophenyl)subporphyrin in 10 % yield in condensation with triethylamine‐tri‐ N ‐tripyrromethene‐borane. The nitro group of this B III subporphyrin was reduced with NaBH 4 to prepare B III 5‐(aminophenyl)subporphyrin, which was converted into B III 5‐phenylsubporphyrin via the corresponding diazonium salt. B III subporphine was synthesized by condensation of triethyl orthoformate with triethylamine‐tri‐ N ‐tripyrromethene‐borane. Progressive removal of meso ‐phenyl substituents leads to continuous changes in the optical properties, whereas the B III subporphine deviates from this trend in some properties.
