Abstract
2,9,16,23-Tetra-p-n-butylbenzyloxy-, 2,9,16,23-tetradiphenylmethoxy-, 2,9,16,23-tetramethoxymethoxy-, and 1,8,15,22-tetra-p-n-butylbenzyloxyphthalocyanines were synthesized from the appropriate phthalonitriles. Metal-free phthalocyanines were converted to their zinc derivatives. Cleavage from the appropriate precursor with trifluoroacetic acid produced 2,9,16,23-tetrahydroxyphthalocyanine and 1,8,15,22-tetrahydroxyphthalocyanine and their zinc derivatives. NMR spectroscopy revealed that all the 2,9,16,23-tetrasubstituted phthalocyanines are the usual mixtures of the 2,9,16,23, 2,9,16,24, 2,9,17,24, and 2,10,16,24 isomers, but the two 1,8,15,22-tetrasubstituted phthalocyanines were formed as pure single isomers.
