Paragraph 0040; 0041, (2017/08/26)
The invention discloses a method of preparing S-(+)-4-(2-methylbutyl) xenol. The method comprises the following steps of firstly preparing S-(+)-4-(2-methylbutyl) acetylbiphenyl by taking S-(+)-4-(2-methylbutyl) diphenyl, acetylchloride and aluminum chloride as raw materials; reacting the obtained S-(+)-4-(2-methylbutyl) acetylbiphenyl with potassium persulfate serving as an oxidant to obtain the S-(+)-4-(2-methylbutyl) xenol; according to the method, the S-(+)-4-(2-methylbutyl) xenol is prepared through two-step reaction, and the method is simple in technological process and is suitable for batch production; the xenol prepared by the method is used for synthesizing a liquid crystal material for a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display, and has a broad application prospect; the xenol serving as an inducing agent is used for a mixed liquid crystal formula, and further a product with high stability and low phase-transition temperature is obtained.

Photochromic glassy liquid crystals were synthesized using dithienylethenes as the volume-excluding cores to which liquid crystalline mesogens were chemically bonded through alkyl spacers. Nematic, smectic, and cholesteric glassy liquid crystals were demonstrated with glass transition temperatures above 90 °C and clearing points up to 220 °C without traces of crystallization on cooling or crystalline melting on heating. A monodomain cholesteric glassy liquid crystalline film containing an enantiomeric 2-methylpropylene chiral spacer was characterized as a left-handed helical stack, exhibiting a selective reflection band centered at 686 nm, an orientational order parameter of 0.65 for the quasi-nematic layers, and a combination of reflective coloration with photoswitchable absorptive coloration.
