Vinylsulfone derivative, liquid crystal composition comprising the same and compensation film using the same liquid crystal composition

Disclosed are a vinylsulfone derivative, a liquid crystal composition comprising the same, and a compensation film for a liquid crystal display device using the same liquid crystal composition. More particularly, the vinylsulfone derivative is a liquid cr

Chemoselective hydrolysis of ester bonds in the presence of Baker's yeast

The catalytic effect of baker's yeast on the hydrolysis of aliphatic esters in p-acetoxybenzoates is described. The chemoselective character of this reaction enables the selective protection of the hydroxyl group in p-hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives.

Syntheses and physical properties of ferrocene derivatives (XIII)

Two monosubstituted ferrocene derivatives, 8-[4-(4-methoxyphenoxycarbonyl)phenoxycarbonyl]octyl 4-ferrocenylbenzoate (MPAF-8) and 9-[4-(4-methoxyphenoxycarbonyl)phenoxycarbonyl] nonyl 4-ferrocenylbenzoate (MPAF-9), were synthesized and their phase transition behavior was studied using a differential scanning calorimeter, a polarizing microscope and an X-ray diffractometer. MPAF-8 exhibited two liquid crystalline phases in both heating and cooling processes at approximately room temperature. In the heating process, a crystal-crystal phase transition behavior was ascertained. The phase transition behavior of MPAF-9 was very similar to that of MPAF-8 except for the behavior of the crystal-crystal phase transition in the heating process. In MPAF-8, one crystalline phase was transformed into another crystalline phase completely. On the other hand, this transformation was observed in part in MPAF-9, and as a result, the melting behavior was observed two times in the heating process.

Syntheses and Physical Properties of Ferrocene Derivatives(III) Liquid Crystallinity of Disubstituted Ferrocene Derivatives

A new series of 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene derivatives, 1,1'-bisalkoxycarbonyl>ferrocene, incorporating a variable carbon number of methylene chain units has been prepared.The thermal behavior of these compounds has been examined by polarizing microscopy observations and differential scanning calorimetry measurements.Four of five kinds of samples synthesized here showed liquid crystallinity near the ambient temperature.Furthermore, these compounds have a fairly wide temperature range of liquid crystalline states. - Keywords: Ferrocene, liquid crystal, 1,1'-disubstituted derivatives, transition metal complex, phase transition

Syntheses and Physical Properties of Ferrocene Derivatives (II) Liquid Crystallinity and Multiple Melting Behavior of Ferrocene Derivatives

Nine kinds of monosubstituted ferrocene derivatives, ω-alkyl 4-ferrocenylbenzoate, were prepared.The derivatives containing 4, 6, 10 and 11 carbon atoms in the flexible alkyl chain of the compounds showed liquid crystallinity, and multiple melting behavior was observed in the compounds containing 4, 6 and 11 carbon atoms.An appearance of the liquid crystallinity showed a carbon number dependence on the flexible alkyl chain. - Keywords: ferrocene, liquid crystal, multiple melting behavior, phase transition, transition metal complex

Electro-Optic Effects on Liquid Crystalline Polysiloxanes with Negative Dielectric Anisotropy

Three ester-type low molecular-weight liquid crystals having vinyl groups were synthesized and subjected to hydrosilylation, i.e., the reaction with polysiloxanes carrying hydrosilyl groups using a platinum compound as a catalyst.The thermotropic nature of the resultant liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) was characterized.The application of the electric field changed the optical transparency of the LCPs.The effects of the applied voltage, the sample thickness and the frequency were studied.The results were explained by the theory developed for low molecular-weight liquid crystals, but a few different behaviors were also recognized.The observed electro-optic effects strongly suggest that the LCPs are not suitable as materials for displays due to slower responses, which are inherent in polymeric liquids.

New chiral polysiloxanes prepared from derivatives of (+)- or (-)-2-phenyl-3-butehoic acid, (r)-l-hepten-3-ol and (r)-l-cyclohexyl-2-propen-1-ol

A series of new polysiloxanes containing chiral side groups has been prepared. These polymers were prepared by hydrosilylating chiral alkene derivatives onto polyhydromethylsiloxane. The alkene derivatives were prepared from (+) or (-)-2-phenyl-3-butenoic acid, (R)-1-hepten-3-ol and (R)-1-cyclohexyl-2-propen-1-ol. Polysiloxanes containing racemic substituents were also prepared fron derivatives of racemic 3-buten-2-ol. The polysiloxanes containing biphenyl carboxylate derivatives (11a-13a) had liquid crystalline properties. These polymers were prepared for use as stationary phases for capillary gas and supercritical fluid chromatography.
