3-Nitrophthalonitrile Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

light yellow powder

Uses

3-Nitrophthalonitrile can be used in solar cells. Dyes and metabolites.

Application

3-Nitrophthalonitrile belongs to nitrile derivatives and can be used as pesticide and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is an important intermediate for the synthesis of nitrophthalocyanine, nitrometallophthalocyanine or other phthalocyanine derivatives.

Preparation

The synthesis of 3-nitrophthalonitrile started with the nitration in position 3 of phthalimide followed by the formation of 3-nitrophthalamide; then dehydration by the thionyl chloride in N, N-dimethylformamide leads to 3-nitrophthalonitrile.
