Abstract
During recents months, several research groups have focussed their attention on the synthesis of novel derivatives of phenyl 4-benzoyloxybenzoate (1) in an effort to prepare stable nematic liquid crystals for physical, chemical and technological applications. Investigations by Steinstraesser1 and by Young, Haller and Green2 have uncovered stable nematogens of type 2 and 3, respectively, which exhibit wide nematic ranges and melting points in the vicinity of 90°C. Van Meter and Klanderman,3 through the use of laterally-placed chlorine substituents, have prepared nematic derivatives of 1 which melt as low as 39°C.Keywords
