LOW MELTING MESOMORPHIC HOMOLOGOUS SERIES: 2-METHYL-5-(4 prime -n-ALKOXYBENZOYLOXY)PYRIDINES.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00268948108074678

A homologous series of fourteen 2-methyl-5-(4 prime -n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)pyridines was synthesized and the mesomorphic behavior of its members studied. The first six members of the series are non-mesomorphic whereas the remainder exhibit only a smectic phase (either enantiotropic or monotropic). The plot of transition temperatures versus the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain shows an ascending tendency. The thermal stability of this series is compared with the related p-(p prime -alkoxybenzoyloxy) toluenes.
