V. Bezborodov et al., SYNTHESIS AND MESOMORPHIC PROPERTIES OF SOME 3,6-DISUBSTITUTED CYCLOHEX-2-ENONES, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 303, 1997, pp. 297-304
The synthesis and mesomorphic properties of several dozen 3,6-disubsti
tuted cyclohex-2-enones are described. The compounds were obtained by
the condensation of 4-substituted beta-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethylphenyl
ketone hydrochlorides (Mannich salts) with 2-alkylacetoacetic esters.
The influence of the structure of the reactants, catalysts and solvent
s on the yield is discussed.
