The development of C-C bond forming reactions on nonplanar porphyrins is critical in advancing this field of study for more complex porphyrin architectures, which could be used in supramolecular assemblies, catalysis, or sensing. In this work a library of arm-extended dodecasubstituted porphyrins was synthesized through the optimization of the classic Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of peripheral haloaryl substituents with a range of boronic acids. We report on palladium-catalyzed coupling attempts on the <i>ortho</i>-, <i>meta</i>-, and <i>para</i>-meso-phenyl position of sterically demanding dodecasubstituted saddle-shaped porphyrins. While <i>para-</i> and <i>meta-</i>substitutions could be achieved, <i>ortho</i>-functionalization in these systems remains elusive. Furthermore, borylation of a dodecasubstituted porphyrin's meso-phenyl position was explored and a subsequent C-C coupling showed the polarity of the reaction can be reversed resulting in higher yields.
