[摘要]:N-Butyl-N-(4,5-dicyano-2-methylbenzyl)butanamide(6) was synthesized in 69% yield from the corresponding 4,5-dibromo derivative 5. Treatment of 6 with zinc acetate in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene gave the octasubstituted zinc(II) phthalocyanine 7, Which Was reduced with diborane to the give phthalocyanine 8. Quaternization or 8 with iodomethane gave the cationic dye 9.
