Synthesis of new liquid-crystalline compounds from the 3-aryl-5- alkylpyrazole series
Kovganko,Kovganko
, p. 696 - 700 (2006)
A method was developed for the preparation of new liquid-crystalline substances, pyrazole derivatives, through the corresponding 2-isoxazolines and isoxazoles. The hydrogenolysis of the heterocycle in 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5- amylisoxazole afforded 1-amino-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-octen-3-one. The acid hydrolysis of the compound followed by treating with hydrazine hydrate resulted in 5-amyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole, whose benzylation and esterification with the corresponding mesogenous benzyl chlorides and benzoyl chlorides provided liquid-crystalline 5-alkyl-3-aryl-1H-pyrazoles.

A new rod-like homologous series consisting twelve compounds with central ester linkage and terminal tert-butyl group, tert-butyl [4-(4’-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)benzoates] has been synthesized and characterized through standard spectroscopic techniques like UV, FT-IR, 1HNMR, DSC, POM, and XRD. Methoxy and ethoxy derivatives are nonmesogenic. Nematic mesophase commences as enantiotropy from propyloxy derivative and persists up to the octadecyloxy derivatives. Smectic A mesophase commences as monotropy from propyloxy to the octadecyloxy derivatives. The mesomorphic properties of present series are compared with other structurally related series to evaluate the effect of terminal tert-butyl group on mesomorphism. Two derivatives are subjected to in?vitro antimicrobial activity.

Novel homologous series 4-(4′-n-alkoxy benzoyloxy) napthyl azo 4″–bromo benzenes, consisted of 11 members of a series. All the 11 members (ethoxy to hexadecyloxy) except hexadecyloxy are only enantiotropically nematogenic without exhibition of any smectogenic character. Transition temperatures and the textures are determined by an optical polarizing microscopy equipped with a heating stage. Textures of a nematic phase are threaded or schlieren. Analytical and spectral data supported the molecular structure of homologs. Transition curves viz., solid-nematic and nematic-isotropic showing phase behavior of the mesophase in a phase diagram behave in normal manner. Alternation of transition temperatures is exhibited by N–I transition curve. Thus, novel series is entirely nematogenic and high ordered melting type. Thus, synthesis of a novel azoester homologous series is carried out with a view to understand and establish the effect of molecular structure on Liquid crystal (LC) behaviors of a substance.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health problem for which new therapeutic options are sorely needed. The ability of the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, to reside within host macrophages and form biofilm-like communities contributes to the persistent and drug-tolerant nature of the disease. Compounds that can prevent or reverse the biofilm-like phenotype have the potential to serve alongside TB antibiotics to overcome this tolerance, and decrease treatment duration. Using Mycobacterium smegmatis as a surrogate organism, we report the identification of two new 2-aminoimidazole compounds that inhibit and disperse mycobacterial biofilms, work synergistically with isoniazid and rifampicin to eradicate preformed M. smegmatis biofilms in vitro, are nontoxic toward Galleria mellonella, and exhibit stability in mouse plasma.

Dixit, Sandhya
, p. 77 - 84 (2018/06/27)
A new homologous series of Y-shaped liquid crystals namely 4-Nitro-[2′4′bis (4″-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)] phenyl bisazobenzenes have been synthesized and its thermotropic properties studied on the hot stage of a polarizing microscope. The compounds consist four phenyl rings joined through ester and bisazo linkages with alkoxy and nitro as terminal substituents. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, 1HNMR as well as elemental analysis. The compounds were found to exhibit enantiotropic nematic and smectic mesophases. The role of molecular shape, size and polarity of functional groups in the mesophases formation is discussed.

Synthesis of a novel azoester homologous series is carried out with a view to understand and establish the effect of molecular structure on liquid crystal (LC) behaviors of a substance. Novel series consists of ten LC substances. All the homologs are enantiotropically nematogenic without exhibition of smectic property. Transition and melting temperatures, textures of LC are determined by an optical polarizing microscopy equipped with a heating stage. Textures of nematic phase are threaded or schlieren. Transition curves of a phase diagram behaved in normal manner. Nematic–isotropic transition curve exhibited odd–even effect. Analytical and spectral data supported and confirmed the structures of homologues.

Patel, Priya K.,Shah
, p. 168 - 177 (2017/03/08)
A meta substituted chalconyl ester homologous series: RO?C6H4?COO?C6H4(meta)?CO?CH?CH?C6H4?OC12H25(n)(para) is synthesized and studied with a view to understanding the effect of molecular substitution at meta position in a molecular structure on thermotropic liquid crystal properties. The novel homologous series consists of thirteen homologues (C1 to C18). All the homologues except the nonliquid crystal homologues C1, C2, C3 are enantiotropic nematic with the absence of smectic properties. The transition and melting temperatures were determined by an optical polarizing microscopy (POM) equipped with a heating stage. Textures of a nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren. Transition curves (Cr-N/I and N-I) behave in normal manner except homologues between C10 and C14 of N-I curve, which show negligible deviation from normal and a smooth descending tendency. The N-I transition curve exhibits an odd-even effect up to C10 homologue and then the odd-even effect disappears for higher homologues. Analytical and the spectral data support the molecular structures. Thermal stability for nematic is 107.3°C and the mesophase lengths range between 13.0°C and 35.0°C at the C18 and C12 homologues respectively. Group efficiency order for nematic is derived on the basis of thermal stability as ?OC12H25(n) (linear) > ?OC12H25(n) (nonlinear) > ?OC16H33 (nonlinear).

The synthesis and mesomorphic properties of a new series of 2,4-bis(4′-npentyloxybenzoyloxy)- benzylidine-4″ -n-alkoxyaniline (DC5An) are reported. The molecular structure of compounds was confirmed by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The mesomorphic properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM) measurements. All compounds of the series exhibit nematic (N) and smectic C (SmC) phases. The first four homologues (DC5A1-DC5A4) display a N mesophase, whereas the highest homologues (DC5A5-DC5A10) exhibit an enantiotropic dimorphism N and SmC phases. The mesomorphic properties of the present series are compared and discussed with other structurally related series.

A novel series of liquid crystalline (LC) ester materials has been synthesized and studied with a view to understanding the effects of molecular structure on LC behavior. The homologous series of eleven members is entirely enantiotropically smectogenic without exhibition of a nematic phase. Transition temperatures and the texture of smectic phase was determined by an optical polarizing microscope equipped with a heating stage (POM). Transition curves (Cr-Sm and Sm-I) showing phase behavior in a phase diagram behave in a normal manner. Textures of smectic phase are focal conic fan shaped of the type Smectic-A or Smectic-C. An odd-even effect is exhibited by the Sm-I transition curve. The average thermal stability for smectic is 91.2°C and the mesogenic phase length ranges between 3.6°C and 39.3°C. Thus, the novel smectogenic homologous series is a middle-ordered melting type whose LC phase is relatively middle ordered. The LC properties of the present series are compared with a structurally similar homologous series. Analytical and spectral data support the molecular structures.

AOne chalcone-ester homologous series of mesogens α-4-[4/-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy phenyl β-4//methoxy benzoyl ethylenes (A) and one azo-ester homologous series of mesogens p-(p/-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy) phenyl azo-p//-methoxy benzene (B) being structurally similar are discussed. Both series (A) and (B) differ in respect of central bridges linking two phenyl rings. Mesomorphic properties start from 6th and 1st member of series (A) and (B) respectively. In series (A), 6th to 12th members show both smectogenic and nematogenic properties, and the 14th and 16th members show only nematogenic property. While in series (B), 1st to 10th members show nematogenic properties, 11th member shows both smectogenic and nematogenic properties, while 12th member shows only smectogenic property. Thermal stability of series (A) is relatively high as compared to series (B). Transition temperatures are observed through hot stage polarizing microscope by the miscibility method. Analytical data support the structure of molecules. Textures of series (A) in nematic are threaded and Schlieren in SmecticSmectic A type, while that of series (B) in nematic are threaded in SmecticSmectic A and smectic C.
