Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen, 11.6 g (12.8 mmol) lithium-cobalt (I) phthalocyanine x 4.5 THF and 296 mg (2 mmol) p-nitro-phenyl isonitrile are agitated in 65 ml methanol for 72 hours at 20° C. The green reaction mixture is mixed with 5 ml water; CO2 and air are passed in for 5 min., and the blue precipitate is centrifuged which is washed with ethanol. The centrifugate collected is concentrated and the residue separated into ether and water. Concentration of the ether phase, dried with sodium sulfate, produces 180 mg (76%) p-aminophenylisonitrile.
