The synthetic route of PTC-1(2H) includes Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling between 5-bromoisophthalaldehyde and 5,15-bis[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl]porphyrin (H2BTPP) together with imine condensation reaction of enantiomerically pure cyclohexanediamine with 5,15-di[3’,5’-diformyl-(1,1’-biphenyl)]porphyrin (H2DBPP).
