    In continuation of our work on glycosylated phthalocyanines, a new series of 1,8(11),15(18),22(25)-tetraglycosylated zinc(II) phthalocyanines (PcZns) have been synthesized and characterized. 3-glycosylated phthalonitriles were synthesized through nitrite displacement in 3-nitrophthalonitrile with anomerically deprotected glycoses. The anomerically glycosylated phthalonitriles were then treated with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), trimethylsilyltriflate (TMSOTf) and zinc salt in DMF to form the corresponding acetyl-protected PcZns, followed by deprotection of acetyl groups by NaOMe in methanol/DMSO mixture. The formed unprotected tetraglycosylated PcZns are highly soluble in water, which is a necessary condition for potential biological applications.
