Preparation of Non-Substituted Metal Phthalocyanines at Low Temperature Using Activated Rieke Zinc and Magnesium

摘要

Synthesis of non-substituted metal phthalocyaninates starting from phthalonitrile in various alcohols in presence of chemically activated Rieke zinc and magnesium in three forms (ordinary magnesium turnings, activated Rieke magnesium and complex Mg(anthracene) centre dot 3THF) at low temperatures (20-50 deg C) is described. It is shown that the presence of active elemental metal causes a rapid PcM formation in low-weight alcohols.
