Synthesis and Physical Properties of Alkoxymethylene Substituted Phenyl Cyclohexanecarboxylates

The homologous series of 4-alkoxymethylene-substituted-phenyl 4'-alkylcyclohexanecarboxylates are prepared.And their transition temperatures, bulk viscosities and birefringences have been measured comparing with the series of 4-alkoxy-substituted-phenyl 4'-alkylcyclohexanecarboxylates.The differences between the alkoxymethylene-substituted series and alkoxy-substituted series are discussed.Alkoxymethylene groups contribute to lowering the transition temperatures, and also reducing the bulk viscosities and optical anisotropy compared to the alkoxy groups as terminal groups of mesogens.This is apparently due to the higher flexibility of the alkoxymethylene groups, which affected the packing of molecules.
