4. Conclusion
Some new heterocyclic compounds with oxazepine and oxaze-
pane cores have been synthesized and characterized. The com-
pound with RC6H4-group (where R@Br, H, NO2 and NH2) attached
to the endocyclic –N in the respective 1,3-oxazepine-4,7-dione,
1,3-oxazepane-4,7-dione and 1,3-oxazepine-1,5-dione cores have
been investigated ranging from the elucidation of molecular struc-
tures to the studies on their thermal and optical behaviours. Except
compound with C5H4– as substituent in the third series of 1,3-
oxazepine-1,5-diones exhibits the nematic phase, all the other
compounds with oxazepine and oxazepane cores reported in this
paper are non-mesogenic.
