“…[39,40] This approach is by far the most represented green synthetic method in literature for the synthesis of phthalocyanines. Microwaveassisted synthesis has successfully provided macrocycles functionalized with halides, [41][42][43][44] terminal alkynes, [45] crown ethers, [46] substituted phenoxy [47][48][49] and 1-naphthyloxy [50] groups, tetraaza, [51] tetraoxamonoaza, [52] tetrathiacyclohexadecane, [53] dithiadiazadioxa, [54] diazadithio [55] and tetrathiadiaza rings, [56,57] thiazoles, [58] functionalized triazoles, [59][60][61][62] phenylthioethanol, [63] monoterpenes like (1R)-(À ) myrtenol and (1R,2S,5R)-(À )menthol, [64] benzenesulfonamide, [65] pyridine [66] and azo compounds. [67] Microwaves have been also employed to synthesize silicon [68] lanthanide(III), [69] lead, [49,70] and platinum [71] derivatives, and phthalocyanine-based polymers.…”
