The most difficult problem on syntheses of the phthalocyanine-based liquid crystals is the long reaction time. In order to shorten the reaction time, we have developed novel Methods A, B and D, for the syntheses of phthalocyanine-based liquid crystals by using microwave heating and/or adding a phase transfer catalysis of Aliquat 336. A series of phthalocyanine derivatives CnPcZn(1) (n= 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18: a, b, c and e) could be successfully synthesized in a dramatically short reaction time of 30–60 min using Methods A and B by microwave heating. On the other hand, anothor series of the derivatives Cn(OH)PcZn (2a–2e) could not be synthesized by microwave heating. Therefore, all these derivatives were synthesized using conventional Method C by oil bath heating, but the reaction took a very long time (22.5–88 h). To shorten the reaction time, we have developed Method D by oil bath heating with adding a phase transfer catalyst of Aliquat 336. In this method, we successfully shortened the reaction time fro...
