At first, the zinc derivative of porphyrin-tetracholic acid conjugate 148a was synthesized by the CuAAC click reaction between porphyrin 146 and 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-24-azido-5β-cholane (147) in the presence of CuBr(PPh3)3 in Et3N/THF mixture in 73

• properties of the cholic acid units in porphyrin conjugates were also studied. The zinc-metalated porphyrin-cholic acid conjugate tends to form J-aggregates in various solvents with different polarities, whereas demetallated porphyrin-cholic acid conjugates show different patterns. The research group of

Results and Discussion In order to investigate possibilities for the synthesis of bile acid B-ring- and bile acid C-ring-fused tetrazoles by a variation of the Schmidt reaction, the appropriate ketone and enone derivatives were prepared firstly. This was achieved using cholic acid, deoxycholic acid (1
