Syntheses and Characterisation of Bisphenyl‐ and Biscyclohexyl‐4,4′‐bibenzyldicarboxylates
A one pot syntheses gives bisphenyl‐4,4′‐bibenzyldicarboxylates (2) or biscyclohexyl‐4,4′‐bibenzyldicarboxylates (3) from bibenzyl (4) and phenols (5) or cyclohexanols (6). 20 compounds 2 and 3 with substituents in the p‐position of the peripheric rings have been synthesized; liquid crystalline data are given.
Liquid Crystalline Asymmetric Bisphenyl‐4,4′‐bibenzyldicarboxylates and Polysiloxanes with Bisphenyl‐4,4′‐bibenzyldicarboxylat Components in the Side Chains, Synthesis and Characterisation [1, 2]
Asymmetric bisphenyl bibenzyl‐4,4′‐dicarboxylates with an alkenyloxy‐ or the 10‐undecenoylgroup in the p‐position of one terminal benzene ring and the butyl‐, an alkoxy‐ or the thiomethylgroup in the p‐position of the other terminal benzene ring (12–14) are synthesized. The olefins 12–14 are added to a poly(methylhydrogensiloxane) 15 to give mesomorphic side chain polysiloxanes 16–18.
Data of liquid crystalline properties of 12–14, 16–18 and precursors are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
