Liquid crystalline vinylcyclopropane derivatives bearing cholesteryl side groups: synthesis, characterization and polymerization
Keyword(s):
AbstractNew optically active 1,1-disubstituted 2-vinylcyclopropanes ,3a, b were synthesized by esterification of the corresponding 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-vinylcyclopropane- 1-carboxylic acid 2a,b with cholesterol and characterized by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The liquid crystalline properties of the obtained monomers are reported. The effect of the structure of the 2-vinylcyclopropane monomers on the phase transition of the mesogen was investigated. Radical polymerization of the asymmetrically substituted monomers 3a,b in solution and in bulk resulted in liquidcrystalline polymers with 1,5-opened units, as evidenced by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
