Boronic esters of a porphyrazine and its precursor

摘要

Phenylboronic acid esters of an unsaturated precursor 1,2-dicyano-1,2-bis(2-hydroxy- ethylthio)ethylene and the magnesium porphyrazine derived from it have been prepared either by refluxing a mixture of the reagents in chloroform in the presence of molecular sieve or by solvent-free heating in an oven under reduced pressure. The two novel compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis together with ultraviolet-visible, infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance, boron-11 nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra.
