In basic solutions, the oxidised porphyrin 2 readily undergoes macrocyclic N ‐alkylation, with up to four bulky alkyl groups, including decyl and substituted benzyl moieties, being accomodated: an argument is presented to show that N ‐di‐alkylation occurs on opposite nitrogen atoms, on the same side of the macrocycle.
