Two new smectic C* mesogens containing a hexyloxy side chain and an azafluorenone () or azafluorenol () core were synthesized using a combined directed metalation-directed remote metalation-Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling strategy. was formed in 10 steps and 25% overall yield based on starting benzamide . forms a nematic phase, while forms a smectic A phase. The large temperature range of the smectic phase for the azafluorenol is indicative of mesophase stabilization by intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group and pyridine nitrogen of neighboring molecules.
采用定向金属化-远程金属化-铃木-宫浦交叉偶联相结合的策略,合成了两种新的含有己氧基侧链和氮杂芴酮()或氮杂芴醇()核心的近晶C*液晶基元。基于起始苯甲酰胺,经10步反应合成得到,总产率为25%。形成向列相,而形成近晶A相。氮杂芴醇的近晶相温度范围较大,表明相邻分子的羟基与吡啶氮之间通过分子间氢键实现了中间相稳定。
