Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of halophenols and phenol boronic acids: Systematic investigation of positional isomer effects and conclusions for the synthesis of phytoalexins from pyrinae

The Suzuki-Miyaura couplings of o-, m-, and p-halophenols with o-, m-, and p-phenol boronic acids were investigated for all combinations under standardized conditions, using Pd/C as a heterogeneous catalyst and water as a solvent. In the case of iodophenols, conventional heating was used, while for bromophenols significantly better results could be obtained using microwave irradiation. This systematic study revealed that 2,4′-biphenol is particularly difficult to access, irrespective of the starting materials used, but that these difficulties can be overcome by using different additives. The conclusions drawn from this investigation allowed us to identify conditions for the protecting group-free or minimized total synthesis of biaryl-type phytoalexins. These compounds possess antibacterial activity and are produced by fruit trees as a response to microbial infection.

A modulated helical nanofilament phase

A new liquid crystal phase, denoted modulated helical nanofilament (HNF(mod)), is formed from a very simple class of biphenyl carboxylates lacking the benzylidene aniline moieties typically found in HNF mesogens. The HNF(mod) phase represents a novel kind of nanoparticle possessing stacked aromatic rings, with potential applications in organic electronics. Copyright

Synthesis and characterization of achiral bent-core liquid crystalline molecules containing salicylaldimine-based with a wide temperature range of SmCP phase

The design and synthesis of a series bent-core materials base on a 3,4'-biphenyldiol central core containing salicylaldimine-based and two terminal tetradecyloxy tails are reported. In addition, the effects of lateral substituents (R = F and Cl) at the biphenyl core into 3'-position are examined. These substituents have a strong influence in reducing the clearing temperatures and increasing temperature range of SmCP phase. Upon cooling process the isotropic liquid, compound SB-Cl exhibits the lowest clearing transition temperature of 180 oC and the widest SmCP phase range of 129 °C. The mesophase behaviour were investigated by polarizing optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electro-optical (EO) measurements in the mesophase temperature range.

Molecular design of nonchiral bent-core liquid crystals with antiferroelectric properties

Novel bent-core (banana-shaped) liquid crystals without Schiff-base units have been synthesized and investigated by polarized light optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray scattering, and electrooptical investigations. These molecules are 4-(4- alkylbenzoyloxy)benzoates and 4-(4-alkoxybenzoyloxy)benzoates of resorcinol, 3,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl, and 4,4'-dihydroxy- 1,1':3', 1'-terphenyl. Three different mesophases were found depending on the molecular structure and the length of the terminal alkyl chains: a rectangular columnar phase, a highly ordered low-temperature mesophase, and an antiferroelectric switchable fluid smectic mesophase designated as SmCP(A). The influence of the molecular structure on the occurrence of the SmCP(A) phase was investigated. The spontaneous polarization of these molecules is quite high (P(s) = 500700 nC cm-2) and specially those molecules with long alkyl chains and short bent- core structures have low melting points and broad regions of this switchable mesophase. Furthermore, first examples of antiferroelectric switchable bent- core molecules with semifluorinated terminal chains will be described.
