通过钯催化偶联反应合成的具有手性烷基的二苯乙炔同系物提供了一系列新的液晶材料,其形成具有铁电性质的手性近晶 C (SmC*) 相。由三个芳环组成的化合物的介晶性质受炔键位置和酯键单元方向的强烈影响。已经系统地研究了末端链长的变化对近晶 A (SmA) 和 SmC* 两个和三个芳环系统的热稳定性的影响。
Buchwald protocol applied to the synthesis of N-heterotolan liquid crystals
摘要:
A homologous series of the new N-heterotolans 8a-d were synthesized using two cross-coupling reactions mediated by copper and palladium/copper. The final compounds present the phenyl-pyridyl framework connected by the acetylene group. The evaluation of thermal properties for this series is described. All compounds exhibit the smectic A and X mesophase. For comparison were also synthesized compounds 10, 12, and 14. Their LC properties are reported. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
