Cobalt-tetraaminophthalocyanine (CoTAP) was produced by reduction of CoTNP caused by Sodium borohydride under N 2(g). CoTAP and chloromethylpolystyrene was refluxed in nitrobenzene or DMF at 180 oC for 12h. The mixture was cooled down to reach the room temperature and then solvent removed and the resulting precipitate was washed with water to remove excess CoTAP, and dried it to get a light green solid (CoTAP-linked-polymer).

This macrocyclic structure like porphyrins(biopigments) is highly coloured Phthalocyanine derivatives derived from the basic compound of (C6H4C2N)4N4 are used as light-fast blue or green pigments. The hosted metals and substituted groups result in distinct colors; phthalocyanine (blue-green), copper phthalocyanine (blue), chlorinated copper phthalocyanine (green), and sulfonated copper phthalocyanine (green). They have also been involved in the study of photosensitizer chemistry or metal complex chemistry such as transition-metal complex catalyst chemistry for uniform polymerization, luminescence chemistry and spectrophotometric analysis, organic synthesis and polymerization. Phthalocyanine pigments are used in enamels, linoleum, inks, plastics, and rubber goods. Photoisomerizable phthalocyanines are used in rewritable CD or DVD printing. Some phthalocyanines such as fluoraluminium phthalocyanine are used in cancer treatment. Due to pi-electron cloud overlaps, phthalocyanines exhibit semiconductor property.

  • Synthesis of Heterocycles from Anthranilic Acid and Its Derivatives
    Synthesis of Heterocycles from Anthranilic acid and its Derivatives Per Wiklund All previously published papers were reproduced with permission from the publisher. Published and printed by Karolinska University Press Box 200, SE-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden © Per Wiklund, 2004 ISBN 91-7349-913-7 Abstract Anthranilic acid (2-aminobenzoic acid, Aa) is the biochemical precursor to the amino acid tryptophan, as well as a catabolic product of tryptophan in animals. It is also integrated into many alkaloids isolated from plants. Aa is produced industrially for production of dyestuffs and pharmaceuticals. The dissertation gives a historical background and a short review on the reactivity of Aa. The synthesis of several types of nitrogen heterocycles from Aa is discussed. Treatment of anthranilonitrile (2-aminobenzonitrile, a derivative of Aa) with organomagnesium compounds gave deprotonation and addition to the nitrile triple bond to form amine-imine complexed dianions. Capture of these intermediate with acyl halides normally gave aromatic quinazolines, a type of heterocyclic compounds that is considered to be highly interesting as scaffolds for development of new drugs. When the acyl halide was a tertiary 2-haloacyl halide, the reaction instead gave 1,4- benzodiazepine-3-ones via rearrangement. These compounds are isomeric to the common benzodiazepine drugs (such as diazepam, Valium®) which are 1,4- benzodiazepine-2-ones. Capture of the dianions with aldehydes or ketones, led to 1,2- dihydroquinazolines. Unsubstituted imine anions could be formed by treatment of anthranilonitrile with diisobutylaluminium hydride. Also in this case capture with aldehydes gave 1,2-dihydroquinazolines. Several different dicarboxylic acid derivatives of Aa were treated with dehydrating reagents, and the resulting products were more or less complex 1,3-benzoxazinones, one of which required X-ray crystallography confirm its structure.

It is essentially hydrophobic and consists in very stable stacks of graphene layers held together by highly delocalized π-π interactions.
