Azobenzene and stilbene derivatives with azomethine and ester groups and polymers of corresponding structures with mesogens possessing three to four aromatic systems in their mesogenic units have been synthesized, characterized and studied for their liquid crystalline properties by DSC measurements and observation by polarizing microscopy.
Liquid-Crystalline Heterocycloalkanes. III. Synthesis and Liquid-Crystalline Properties of Substituted 1,3-Dioxadecalines

Liquid-crystalline 2-substituted and 2,6-disubstituted 1,3-dioxadecalines (4-6) were synthesized by acid-catalyzed acetalization of trans-2-hydroxymethylcyclohexanol (1) or trans-4-alkyl-trans-2-hydroxymethylcyclohexanoles (2) with aldehydes 3 whereby the desired trans-isomers were formed only.The syntheses of the various aldehydes are also described.Special attention is drawn on the evolution of mesogenic properties of the title compounds 4-6 in comparison with known decalines and 1,3-dioxanes.It was found that the clearing temperatures of the synthesized 1,3-dioxadecalines are always lower than those of the corresponding decaline derivatives, due to the deformation of the decaline-ringsystem by the introduction of two oxygen-atoms.The comparison of 1,3-dioxanes and 1,3-dioxadecalines shows that the dioxadecaline ringsystem tends to suppress smectic mesophases in favour of nematics.A first example of a liquid crystalline cis-fused 1,3-dioxadecaline (8) is described, too.
