Phthalocyanine or phthalimide?

Hey there,

Please may I have some advice on this chemical reaction? For an assignment, I am working on synthesising phthalocyanine. The easiest possible reaction I can think of is heating phthalic anhydride with urea, possibly prilled. However, when I look this up, I am presented only with phthalimide as a product for the reaction.

Does the same reaction yield different products under different conditions? Or is it a different reaction entirely?

If you can make phthalocyanine using this reaction, can I have some kind of detail on the apparatus, setup, and reaction conditions required?

And if you can't, does anyone have any alternative, simple reactions?

Thanks in advance for all help!

@kadenpradhan,
can you sublime a ligand of Pthalocyanine? Otherwise Id have to do like you, track down a reaction base from ACS .(I know we use ACS "cookbooks" all the time)

@farmerman,
Chemical Reviews on ACS doesn't reveal a lot ... that is why I avoided the sublimation of the ligand and instead was using a kind of educated guess reaction. Do you personally think it would work?!
