Synthesis and Liquid Crystal Properties of Dimethylene Linked Compounds Incorporating the Cyclobutane or Spiroheptane Rings
The preparation of sixteen dimethylene linked compounds is described heptane ring>, and a comparison is made between the transition temperatures of these compounds and those of the corresponding esters.This comparison once again highlights the fact that the cyclobutane ring should be regarded, in terms of its ability to promote nematic thermal stability, as a "chain stiffener rather than as a ring system.A comparison is also made of the nematic thermal stabilities of the trans-cyclobutane and the spiroheptane systems and of the trans-cyclohexane and the spiroundecane systems.
