Abstract

We have investigated the use of the Wittig-Horner reaction in the preparation of novel side-chain liquid crystalline (SCLC) polymers. The simplicity and versatility of the Wittig-Horner methodology makes it another useful synthetic route in preparing SCLC polymers with polar groups being positioned along the polymer backbone. This new methodology will now be used to synthesise a range of novel ferroelectric SCLC polymers.
