This study presents the preparation of a novel tetra-substituted phthalonitrile (1) namely 3,6-bis(hexyloxy)-4,5-bis(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy)phthalonitrile (1) and its metal-free (2)/metal {M= Zn (3), Cu (4), Co (5), Lu(CH3COO) (6), Lu (7)} phthalocyanines....
A new route to the synthesis of 4-chloro-5-alkyl-phthalonitrile derivatives was shown by the displacement reaction of 4,5-dichloro-phthalonitrile and diethylmalonate, a CH -acidic precursor, in the presence of K 2 CO 3. Cyclotetramerization of 1-chloro-3,4-dicyano-6-(1,1-dicarbethoxy-methyl)benzene and the metal salt without any solvent gave the corresponding metallophthalocyanines ( M = Co , Cu or Pd ). Transesterification occurred when the reaction was carried out in hexanol in the presence of DBU to obtain the metal-free derivative. Treatment of 1-chloro-3,4-dicyano-6-(1,1-dicarbethoxy-methyl)benzene with sodium ethoxide at ambient temperature and further acidification resulted in 2,9,16,23-tetra(carboxymethyl)-3,10,17,24-tetrachloro-phthalocyaninatopalladium(II) with partial decarboxylation. Its electronic spectrum in aqueous solution indicated no appreciable change over a pH range from 7 to 12.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
