A series of 3,6-dialkylphthalonitriles and 3,6-bis(4,4,4-trimethoxybutyl)phthalonitrile have been prepared via Diels-Alder reactions of 2,5-disubstituted furans or thiophene 1,1-dioxides with fumaronitrile.The phthalonitriles were converted into the title phthalocyanines as metal-free and copper(II) derivatives.The macrocycles were characterised using 1H NMR and optical spectroscopy, and fastatom bombardment spectrometry.Certain examples exhibit discotic liquid crystal behaviour.
