Abstract
A new pentaphenyl liquid crystalline (LC) compounds with 2,3-difluorobenzene moiety exhibiting wide nematic range have been prepared. The key stage is the condensation of the corresponding 3-dimethylaminopropanoyl-4-pentyl benzene hydrochloride with substituted methyl benzyl ketone in the presence of base leading to 3,6-disubstituted cyclohexenones. Methylation with methyl magnesium iodide followed by oxidative aromatization gives three-ring bromides, which are used in the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. Pentaphenyl LC compounds possessing lateral methyl group have moderate melting points, improved solubility, and miscibility with another LC components. The new compounds could be useful in LC compositions with the high optical anisotropy.
