Epoxy compounds usually have stronger nucleophilic ability, because the alkyl group on the oxygen atom makes the bond angle smaller, which makes the lone pair of electrons react more dissimilarly with the electron-deficient system. Compound: 4-(((1R,2S,5R)-2-Isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl)oxy)-4-oxobutanoic acid, is researched, Molecular C14H24O4, CAS is 77341-67-4, about Synthesis, mesomorphic and photo-switching behaviours of novel azobenzene chiral liquid crystals containing (-)-menthyl.Application of 77341-67-4.
A new series of chiral liquid crystal (CLC), Mt4AZOnAB (n = 2-18), containing a multi-chiral center menthyl and an azobenzene moiety connected with a flexible butanedioyloxy and a varying length of alkanoyloxy in a terminal chain, was designed and synthesized. The thermal properties and optical textures were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. Selective reflection of the CLCs was measured by UV/visible spectrometer. Their photo-switching properties were well-demonstrated by UV irradiation All CLCs showed characteristic of selective reflection in heating stage and BPI/II texture in cooling course. Before and after irradiation, CLCs underwent a transition from oily streak texture to focal conic texture; however, BPI/II texture in cooling stage showed a reversible phase transition.
