Abstract:
A new synthetic one-step approach to perform the axial ligand exchange reaction in subphthalocyanines that employs trimethylsilyl-protected nucleophiles as starting materials is reported. Theoretical calculations indicate that the exchange reaction proceeds through a similar 4-centered σ-bond metathesis transition state as the substitution with phenols. This direct method allowed us to synthesize new axial derivatives of singular importance within the chemistry of subphthalocyanines, for which the reactivity and X-ray crystalline structure were studied.

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...
