Highly efficient syntheses of 3-aryl-2-cycloalken-1-ones and an evaluation of their liquid crystalline properties
Marson,Farrand,Brettle,Dunmur
, p. 4377 - 4381 (2003)
Cycloalkenones are shown to be mesogens and can be synthesised in near quantitative yields by a convergent palladium(0)-catalysed cross-coupling strategy; a 2-methyl group induces a change of phase from smectic to nematic.
