Vs. Bezborodov et al., 3-Aryl- or 3-(trans-4-alkylcyclohexyl)-6-arylcyclohex-2-enones: synthesis,transformations and mesomorphic properties, LIQ CRYST, 28(12), 2001, pp. 1755-1760
The synthesis and chemical transformations of 3-aryl- or 3-(trans-4-alkylcy
clohexyl)-6-arylcyclohex-2-enones into liquid crystalline compounds are dis
cussed. These 3,6-disubstituted cyclohex-2-enones were prepared by the cond
ensation of appropriate Mannich salts or trans-4-alkylcyclohexyl 2-bromoeth
yl ketones with 4-substituted benzyl methyl ketones.
