An efficient synthesis of phthalocyanines based on an unprecedented double-addition of oximes to phthalonitriles.
A novel and efficient method is reported for the preparation of phthalocyanines from phthalonitrile or its derivatives which utilizes low-cost reagents of hydrolytic stability, high simplicity, and easy accessibility, i.e., oximes, and proceeds via an unprecedented double addition of oximes to the nitrile group.
