"The Spiro-Intermediate Proposed for Biosynthesis of the Natural Porphyrins: Synthesis and Properties of its Macrocycle"
J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1985, 1294-1296. Full Text

Two structures have been synthesised containing the novel macrocycle on which is based the hypothetical spiro-intermediate for biosynthesis of the natural porphyrins; the strongly puckered conformation of the macrocycle is shown by X-ray structure analysis.
