	abstract = {A conceptually simple H-2-hydrogenation protocol is introduced for the high-yield preparation of a natural product derivative. Protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester is hydrogenated to the mesoporphyrin analogue in N,N-dimethylacetamide under H-2 (1 atm) at 80 degrees C within 30 min. The reaction is catalyzed by commercial RUCl3, without the need for the use of phosphine- and/or carbene-based ligands. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},
