Synthesis And Characterization Of Banana-Shaped Liquid Crystals

This study is mainly to synthesize liquid crystals potential compounds derived from chalcone derivatives via esterification. New homologues series of banana-shaped liquid crystals (6a-6c) have been successfully synthesized via esterification based on modifications that have been made on model study...

description This study is mainly to synthesize liquid crystals potential compounds derived from chalcone derivatives via esterification. New homologues series of banana-shaped liquid crystals (6a-6c) have been successfully synthesized via esterification based on modifications that have been made on model study (31). Initial steps were involving preparation of 4-alkoxybenzaldehydes (3a-3c) through etherification prior to chalcone bearing long alkyl chain (C10, C12, C14) (4a-4c) synthesis via Claisen-Schmidt reaction. Isophthaloyl dichloride was chosen as a starting material to react with alkylated hydroxyl chalcones (4a-4c) to form banana-shaped or bent-core liquid crystals properties. The compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
