Highly Branched Alkanoic Acids from the Preen-Gland Wax of the Domestic Goose as Building Blocks for Chiral Triphenylenes
摘要:
The synthesis of chiral triphenylenes 7a,b bearing side chains derived from enantiomerically pure trimethyloctanoate la and tetramethyldecanoate 1b from the preen-gland wax of domestic goose was achieved in 3 or 4 steps. Compounds 7a,b were nonmesogenic; however, mixtures of 7a,b with hexakis(octyloxy)triphenylene or hexakis(decyloxy)triphenylene displayed columnar mesophases or soft crystal G phases, as was shown by differential-scanning calorimetry and optical-polarizing microscopy. Circular-dichroism measurements revealed weak associations of 7a,b in solution.
