In 2020,Liquid Crystals included an article by Cigl, Martin; Jurok, Radek; Hampl, Frantisek; Svoboda, Jiri; Podoliak, Natalia; Novotna, Vladimira. COA of Formula: C8H6ClIO2. The article was titled 《Lateral substituted phenyl biphenylcarboxylates – non-chiral analogues of ferroelectric liquid crystals》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
In this study mesomorphic properties of non-chiral liquid crystalline mols. and study the effect of lateral halogen (fluoro, chloro) substitution in the mol. core and the length of terminal chains was reported. This study prepared nine homolog series with the mol. core substituted at different positions with respect to the ester linkage group. Addnl., this study modified the length of both terminal alkyl chains (hexyl, octyl, decyl and dodecyl) sym. for both terminal chains. The effects of the lateral substitution and the chain length were analyzed with respect of the possibility to reduce the transition temperatures and tune the properties of presented liquid crystalline mols. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of Methyl 3-chloro-4-iodobenzoate(cas: 874569-39-8COA of Formula: C8H6ClIO2)
Methyl 3-chloro-4-iodobenzoate(cas: 874569-39-8) belongs to organic iodides. Alkyl iodides react at a faster rate than alkyl fluorides due to the weak C-I bond.Iodo alkanes participate in a variety of organic synthesis reactions, which include the SimmonsSmith reaction (cyclopropanation using iodomethane), Williamson ether synthesis, Wittig reaction, Grignard reaction, alkyl coupling reactions, and Wurtz reaction.COA of Formula: C8H6ClIO2
