Utilizing the S N Ar reaction in examining the kinetics and subphthalocyanine potential of 4-bromo-5-nitro-phthalonitrile

Phthalocyanines and subphthalocyanines with novel peripheral functional groups are highly desirable for exploring their potential for widespread use across several research fields. Synthesis of the precursor phthalocyanines has been limited due to selectivity. A precursor, 4-bromo-5-nitro-phthalonitrile, is of interest due to its potential to undergo an S N Ar reaction. The S N Ar reaction, inherently selective, can replace bromine and nitro groups with novel nucleophiles. While some substitutio
