Mesomorphic properties of 4-(4-pyridyl)-benzoic acid esters

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587250108025283

Formerly unknown 4-(4-pyridyl)benzoic acid was synthesized and some of its esters were prepared, their mesomorphic properties were examined. Alkyl-esters of the said acid are nonmesomorphic, while three-ring aryl esters form monotropic smectic A state. Esters aren't stable, they hydrolize easily.
