Liquid crystalline materials and method of making

摘要

A new family of liquid crystalline or potential liquid crystalline compounds is made relatively cheaply generally by reducing an acid chlorine derivative alkyl or alkoxy benzene or its analogues of an alkyl cyclohexanoic acid to an alkanol derivative, converting the alkanol derivative to a halide such as the bromide or chloride and reacting said halide with a cyano phenol, cyanodiphenol and related compound to form a compound having the formula of equation 1.
