Novotna, Vladimira; Stulov, Sergey; Hamplova, Vera; Cigl, Martin; Pacherova, Oliva published the artcile< New smectogens with (S)-2-methylbutyl lactate group in the terminal chain and chlorine-substituted molecular core>, Synthetic Route of 3964-57-6, the main research area is methylbutyl lactate group preparation.
Authors report the synthesis and mesomorphic properties of new chiral materials based on (S)-2-methylbutyl lactate group in the chiral chains and a lateral substitution by a chlorine atom in the mol. core. Authors have studied mesomorphic properties and found that homologues with only one lactate and methylbutyl in the chain exhibit the SmC* phase in a broad temperature range. Authors established the spontaneous polarisation and tilt angle values. The pitch values are rather small, being within the range 360-450 nm. On the other hand, a homolog with one addnl. lactate in the chiral part does not exhibit the mesomorphic properties. Authors have tried to establish the effect of lateral substitution by comparing all studied compounds with previously prepared (S)-2-methylbutyl lactate derivatives with non-substituted mol. core.
Liquid Crystals published new progress about Ferroelectricity. 3964-57-6 belongs to class chlorides-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C8H7ClO3, Synthetic Route of 3964-57-6.
