      Copper undecaarylcorroles were found to undergo acid-induced demetalation with unusual ease under both reductive and nonreductive conditions. The resulting free-base undecaarylcorroles were found to be rather reactive, readily photooxygenating to yield 5/10-hydroxyisocorroles and open-chain tetrapyrroles. The use of nonreductive conditions led to 50-75% yields of undecaarylisocorroles, a new class ...
