Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of tolane-based fluorinated liquid crystals with an acrylate linkage

, p. 138 - 146 (2011/05/12)
Six series of tolane-based fluorinated liquid crystals containing an acrylate linker were synthesized and their mesomorphic properties were characterized. The compounds generally exhibit SmA and N phases in wide temperature ranges. The introduction of acrylate linkers increases the clearing points by 20°C-30°C and suppresses the formation of higher ordered monotropic SmB phases. para-Fluorination is favorable for the mesophase stability, whereas meta-fluorination is not. The introduction of a 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenylene group decreases the clearing points and also suppresses the formation of the monotropic SmB phase. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The invention relates to 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine derivatives of formula (I),wherein X represents CH2 or O; R1 represents a phenyl group, which group is independently mono-, di-, or tri-substituted wherein the substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of (C1-4)alkyl, (C1-4)alkoxy, halogen, cyano, trifluoromethoxy and trifluoromethyl; R2 represents (C1-4)alkyl, (C1-4)alkoxy, (C2-4)alkenyl, halogen, cyano, hydroxymethyl, trifluoromethyl, C(O)NR5R6 or cyclopropyl; R3 represents (C1-4)alkyl, (C1-4)alkoxy-methyl or halogen; R4 represents (C1-4)alkyl; R5 represents hydrogen or (C1-4)alkyl; and R6 represents hydrogen or (C1-4)alkyl. The invention also relates to pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such compounds; and to the use of such compounds as medicaments; especially as orexin receptor antagonists.
