Synthesis of new liquid crystalline compounds with side chains containing hydroxy groups or chlorine atom
摘要:
Catalytic hydrogenation of the oxo group in 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)octan-1-one gave 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)octane-1.3-diol and 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)octan-3-ol which were converted into the corresponding benzyl ethers containing a hydroxy group, 1.3-diol fragment, or chlorine atom in the side chain. The products were shown to possess liquid crystalline properties.
