Chem. Eur. J. 2026, 32, e70979. Benzoporphyrins, π extended porphyrin analogues, exhibit remarkable potential for optoelectronic and theragnostic applications, yet have remained largely confined to fundamental studies owing to the challenging synthesis of masked isoindole precursors. Here, we report a concise, scalable three-step synthesis of 4,7-dihydro-4,7-ethano-2H-isoindole, a key building block of the benzoporphyrin framework. Subsequent functionalization affords the corresponding...

ChemPlusChem 2026 , 91 , e70135 . The selective bis- and tris-functionalization of benzothioxanthene imides (BTI) with extended triphenylamine (eTPA) units, enabling precise tuning of optical and electronic properties, is introduced herein. Controlled bromination and subsequent Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling allow modular introduction of donor groups, resulting in redshifted emission into the red–near-infrared (NIR) region with large Stokes shifts and fluorescence quantum yield strongly...
