Isothiourea-catalysed transfer hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated para-nitrophenyl esters

A protocol for the isothiourea-catalysed transfer hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated para-nitrophenyl esters using Hantzsch ester has been developed. Good to excellent yields are observed using α,β-unsaturated aryl esters bearing electron-withdrawing β-subs

Effect of Nitro Terminal Substituent on the Liquid Crystalline Characteristics of Ester Mesogens: p-Nitrophenyl-p'-n-Alkoxycinnamates

The homologous series p-nitrophenyl-p'-n-alkoxycinnamates is a medium melting homologous series; the first two members are non-mesogens and do not exhibit even monotropy.The nematic phase begins from the third derivative in monotropic condition; from the fourth member enantiotropic mesomorphism commences.Polymesomorphism begins from the sixth member with the appearance of smectic mesophase and ends at the seventh member.The rest of the homologues up to the octadecyl are purely smectogens.Thus the homologous series is predominantly smectogenic even though -NO2 group is reported to be enhancing nematic character.Within the polymesomorphic region the nematic mesophase is homeotropic; however, it shows a claer threaded texture where it is the only mesophase shown.The N-I transitions do not exhibit the usual alternation in transitions which is a rare phenomenon.The N-I transition curve is unusually neither rising nor falling though a slight curve is seen; it merges with the S-I curve which shows a slight rising tendency as the alkyl chain length is increased.The S-N transition curve steeply rises and seems to be merging with the S-I curve.The mesomorphic range is good; the nature of the curve can predict the latent N-S or I-N transitions.All smectic orientations are of focal conic smectic A texture except in the case of sixth and seventh homologues where homeotropic nature prevails.
