is a linear alkyl group having 2-12 carbon atoms. The synthesis of the liquid crystalline 2-(4′-alkoxyphenyl)-5-cyanopyridine is completed in a two-step reaction. First, a Grignard reagent (such as 4-alkoxyphenylmagnesium bromide) is added to a 3-cyanopyridinium salt (such as N-phenyloxycarbonyl-3-cyanopyridinium chloride) to get a 1,2-dihydropyridine. Then, the 1,2-dihydropyridine is oxidized with o-chloronil to obtain the 2-(4′-alkoxyphenyl)-5-cyanopyridine.
该发明涉及一种简便合成一系列2-(4′-烷氧基苯基)-5-氰基吡啶液晶化合物的方法,该化合物由以下式(I)表示:其中CnH2n+1是具有2-12个碳原子的直链烷基基团。该液晶化合物2-(4′-烷氧基苯基)-5-氰基吡啶的合成完成于两步反应中。首先,将格氏试剂(如4-烷氧基苯基溴化镁)加入到3-氰基吡啶盐(如N-苯氧羰基-3-氰基吡啶盐酸盐)中,得到1,2-二氢吡啶。然后,将1,2-二氢吡啶与邻氯苯醌氧化,得到2-(4′-烷氧基苯基)-5-氰基吡啶。
