N2 - Coproporphyrinogen IV (8) is synthesised and is oxidatively decarboxylated by coproporphyrinogenase from beef-liver to produce, after aromatisation, a porphyrin proved to be protoporphyrin XIII (11) by spectroscopy and by unambiguous synthesis; the synthetic route is described. A monovinylporphyrin, derived from an intermediate for the conversion (8) → (11), is also isolated. The importance of these results for earlier biosynthetic studies with pyrromethanes is discussed.
