The reaction between pyropheophorbide a methyl ester (1) and hydrazine hydrate has been studied. It was shown that the reagents ratio governs the particular reaction product formation. Treatment of 1 by excess of hydrazine hydrate (more than 3 eq.) yielded methylmesopyropheophorbide a hydrazone (2) as a major product. On the other hand, only methylmesopyropheophorbide a azine (4) was formed when the equimolar amounts of the reagents were applied. In order to prevent the C3-vinyl group reduction in 1 by hydrazine hydrate, the reaction was carried out in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). It was shown, that the selectivity of the reaction is regulated by the hydrazine hydrate/TFA ratio. Thus, the optimal conditions for the selective synthesis of both methylpyropheophorbide a hydrazone (3) and azine (5) have been found. The formation of the dimeric structure of azines was determined by the X-ray powder diffraction.
