SYNTHESIS AND MESOMORPHIC PROPERTIES OF SOME ARYL BETA-D-C-GLYCOSIDES

The synthesis of some aryl beta-D-C-glycosides bearing long alkoxy cha ins (grafted on the carbohydrate moiety through the intermediate of an aromatic core) is described. Their mesomorphic properties (studied by microscopic observations under polarized light, DSC and X-ray diffrac tion) are presented.
