Description

This application is a 371 of PCT/EP45/00866, filed on Mar. 9, 1995.
Chiral, smectic, liquid-crystalline materials which on cooling from the liquid-crystalline phase solidify in a glass-like manner with formation of a layer structure are employed for many purposes, as is known, in the electrooptical field. Examples which may be mentioned here are optical storage systems (DE-A-3 827 603 and DE-A-3 917 196), electrophotography (DE-A-3 930 667), liquid-crystalline display elements such as displays (Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst., 114, (1990) 151) and also, in the case of simultaneously present ferroelectric behavior, electrical storage systems Ferroelectrics, 104, (1990) 241).
In the layer structure of ferroelectric S.sub.c * phases, the molecular long axes are inclined within the individual layer to the layer perpendiculars z. The direction of this inclination is given by the director n; the angle between z and n is the tilt angle .THETA.. S.sub.c * phases exhibit two stable states having a different direction of n, which can be switched between by applying an electric field (electrooptical effect).
S.sub.c * phases occur in low-molecular-weight, liquid-crystalline materials, in oligomesogens and in polymeric ferroelectric materials, the essential properties of the S.sub.c * phases agreeing.
The liquid-crystalline materials prepared until now, however, have disadvantages, for example low spontaneous polarization, low phase width, no stable, tilted smectic glass at room temperature or excessively slow switching.
The occurrence of the liquid-crystalline S.sub.c * phase is affected to a considerable extent by all groups of the molecule, ie. side group A, mesogenic group M and the chiral group, such that the smallest changes in the molecular structure can induce S.sub.c * phases or cause them to disappear.
The chiral group especially is of crucial importance for the achievement of spontaneous polarization, due to its structure and special function.
The present invention is based on the object of finding chiral groups for liquid-crystalline materials which affect the liquid-crystalline properties as little as possible, simultaneously induce high spontaneous polarizations and are synthetically accessible.
The invention therefore relates to compounds of the general formula I
A--Y--(M--Y).sub.n --Z--(Y--M).sub.n --Y--A I
where
Z is a radical of the formula ##STR2## and where the radicals A independently of one another are C.sub.1 - to C.sub.30 -alkyl which may be substituted by fluorine, chlorine, bromine or cyano and may be interrupted by O, S, NH, NCH.sub.3, COO or OCO,
Y independently of one another are a chemical bond, O, S, NH, N(CH.sub.3), COO or OCO and
M independently of one another are a mesogenic group consisting of an aromatic or aliphatic ring system of the general formula II
--Y.sup.1 --(Z.sup.1 --Y.sup.1).sub.m -- II
where the radicals
Y.sup.1 independently of one another are a direct bond, O, COO, OCO, CH.sub.2 O, OCH.sub.2, CH.dbd.N or N.dbd.CH,
Z.sup.1 independently of one another are p-phenylene, 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2,5-ylene or 2,5-pyrimidylene which may be substituted by fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, cyano, hydroxyl, methoxy or methyl, and
m is an integer from 1 to 3,
and
n independently of one another are 0 or 1 with the proviso that one n is other than 0.
The invention particularly relates to compounds of the general formula I where the radicals
A independently of one another are C.sub.1 - to C.sub.20 -alkyl, preferably C.sub.6 - to C.sub.14 -alkyl, which may be interrupted by O, COO or OCO,
Y independently of one another are a direct bond or O, COO or OCO.
The use of the compounds according to the invention for the construction of recording layers for laser optical and electrical recording elements, in electrophotography, for the production of latent charge images, for the construction or as a component of liquid-crystalline display elements and also as colored reflectors is likewise a subject of the invention.
The mesogenic molecular moiety M consists of an aromatic or aliphatic ring system of the general formula II
--Y.sup.1 --(Z.sup.1 --Y.sup.1).sub.m -- II
where the radicals
Y.sup.1 independently of one another are a direct bond, O, COO, OCO, CH.sub.2 O, OCH.sub.2, CH.dbd.N or N.dbd.CH,
Z.sup.1 independently of one another are p-phenylene, 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2,5-ylene or 2,5-pyrimidylene which may be substituted by fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, cyano, hydroxyl, methoxy or methyl, and
m is an integer from 1 to 3.
Examples of particularly preferred Z.sup.1 groups are ##STR3##
The units A--Y--(M--Y).sub.n according to the invention, where A, Y and M have the meaning indicated above, are accessible in principle by generally known synthesis processes, as are described eg. in DE-A-3 917 186 and in Mol.Cryst.Liq.Cryst.191, (1991) 231.
All reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel ready-to-use film GF 254 (Merck). Detection was carried out by UV fluorescence quenching and/or spraying with 15% strength ethanolic sulfuric acid and subsequent heat treatment.
Column chromatography separations were carried out by flash chromatography on silica gel 60 (230-400 mesh, Merck).
The measurements of the optical rotations were carried out using a Perkin-Elmer polarimeter 589 (sodium D line).
The NMR spectra (.sup.1 H: 400 HMz, .sup.13 C: 100.67 MHz) were measured in the service unit on a Bruker AMX-400 NMR spectrometer. Analysis was carried out according to first order.
The phase transition temperatures were determined using a Leitz polarization microscope (Ortholux II pol) in combination with a Mettler microscope hot stage (Mettler FP 800/84). The following abbreviations were used throughout for indicating the phases (chiral phases are indicated by *):
K crystalline phase,
S.sub.C smectic C phase
S.sub.A smectic A phase
Ch cholesteric phase
I isotropic liquid phase
D cubic D-phase
Q smectic Q-phase
General working procedures
Preparation of the phenyl ethers (procedure 1)
25 mmol of the phenol are dissolved in ml of acetone, and the solution is treated with 50 mmol of the alkyl halide and 30 mmol (4.14 g) of potassium carbonate and boiled under reflux until all the phenol has reacted. The acetone is stripped off on a rotary evaporator and the residue is distilled in vacuo.
Reaction of the C-glycosides with boronic acids (procedure 2)
10 mmol of .beta.-glycoside are taken up in 4 ml of toluene and treated with 20 mmol of the boronic acid. By stripping off the solvent several times on a rotary evaporator in vacuo, the water formed in the reaction is azeotropically distilled off with the toluene. The crystalline residue is recrystallized from ethanol.
Transacetalization of dimethyl acetals with C-glycosides (procedure 3)
8 mmol of the .beta.-glycoside are dissolved in 4 ml of absolute dimethylformamide with 9.6 mmol of the dimethyl acetal and a spatula tipful of p-toluenesulfonic acid and the mixture is reacted on a rotary evaporator at a water bath temperature of 69.degree.-65.degree. C. and a pressure of 29-33 hPa. After the end of the reaction, the solvent is stripped off and the residue is treated after crystallization with a few ml of saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, filtered off, washed with water and cold ethanol and recrystallized from ethanol.
