The azomethine ylide generated from the reaction of a corrole-3-carbaldehyde and N-methylglycine was trapped with dimethyl fumarate, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and fullerene C60 in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. A similar azomethine ylide generated from a corrole-2-carbaldehyde was trapped with 1,4-naphthoquinone, yielding the expected dehydrogenated 1,3-dipolar cycloadduct and a quinone-fused corrole derivative. A detailed synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the gallium(III)(pyridine) complex of 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole-3-carbaldehyde is also presented.
