Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Ester Homologous Series : p(p'-n-Alkoxy Benzoyloxy) β-Phenyl - Ethyl Cinnamates

Authors(2) :-Pandya Shilpa N, Chauhan M. L

A novel homologous series p(p’-n-Alkoxy Benzoyloxy) β-Phenyl Ethyl Cinnamates is synthesized and studied with a view to understanding and establishing the effects of molecular structure on mesogenic behavior in a series. The mesogenic property commences from third homologue to the last homologue. The transition temperatures of the series are relatively high,  ranging between 152 ?C and  225?C. The mesogenic range varies  between 8 ?C (C16) and 37?C    (C6). The novel ester series is nematogenic without exhibition of any smectogenic property and an average thermal stability of 167.6 ?C. The mesogenic behavior of the novel series is compared with structurally similar isomeric/non isomeric other known series.
