Synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted subphthalocyanines

Abstract:
A series of new unsymmetrically substituted subphthalocyanines containing iodo or octylthioether substituents on the outer aromatic rings have been synthesized. The statistical reaction of one equivalent of 1,2-dicyano-3-iodobenzene whether with two equivalents of 1,2-dicyano-4-octylthiobenzene or with two equivalents of 1,2dicyano-4,5-dioctylthiobenzene in the presence of boron trichloride in 1-chloronaphthalene yielded in both cases all the possible expected unsymmetrically substituted subphthalocyanines, which were separated by column chromatography on silica gel. All compounds were identified by FAB mass spectrometry and then characterized by HR-LSIMS spectrometry. The unambiguous characterization of each constitutional isomer was made possible by careful examination of the symmetry environment experienced by each proton on their 1H-NMR spectra.

Preparation of Alcohols via Substitution Reactions
Alcohols can be synthesized from alkyl halides via nucleophilic substitution reactions. The highly polar carbon-halogen bond in the substrate makes halide a good leaving group. The hydroxide ion or water can act as a nucleophile to take the place of halide and form an alcohol. The substitution reactions occur via two different reaction pathways, SN1 or SN2, depending on the nature of carbon attached to the halide.
Primary alcohols are synthesized from primary alkyl halides, and the...
