Synthesis and Characterization of Di-disubstituted Phthalocyanines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00294a032

An improved approach to the synthesis of di-disubstituted phthalocyanines from two different phthalyl precursors is described.The method combines substituted 1,3-diiminoisoindoles and 6/7-nitro-1,3,3-trichloroisoindolenine to synthesize phthalocyanine.The method can be applied to the synthesis of hydrogen and metallo phthalocyanine.The yields are variable, ranging from 17percent to 72percent depending on the substituents.
