Abstract

1,2-Dicyano-4,5-di[(N,N-dimethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]benzene (5) was synthesized in 80% yield from the corresponding 1,2-dibromo derivative 4. Octa(peripheral-amide)substituted zinc(II) phthalocyanine 6 was obtained from 5 and zinc acetate in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. Phthalocyanine 7 was prepared via reduction of 6 with diborane. Treatment of 7 with methyl iodide afforded cationic dye 8.

Key words

nucleophilic aromatic substitution - reduction - phthalocyanines
