Similar compounds are known from, for example, EP-OS 0 131 373. However, in contrast to the above, the compounds disclosed therein do not contain nitrogen-containing heterocyclic rings.
The compounds of the formula I can be used, like similar compounds, as chiral dopants for liquid crystalline phases, in particular as components of ferroelectric liquid crystalline phases. These phases are suitable for displays, which are based on the principle of the twisted cell (IN displays), the guest-host effect, the effect of the deformation of aligned phases or the effect of dynamic scattering, in particular, however, for ferroelectric displays, for example in accordance with N. A. Clark and S. T. Lagerwall, Applied Phys. Lett. 36, 899 (1980).
The invention was based on the object of finding new stable liquid crystalline or mesogenic compounds that would be suitable as components of such phases.
It has been found that the compounds of the formula I are highly suitable as components of liquid crystalline phases. In particular, they can be used for preparing stable chiral S.sub.c phases in a temperature range favourable for electrooptical applications.
On adding compounds of the formula I to non-polar liquid crystalline phases, it was found, surprisingly, that even relatively small additions can significantly increase spontaneous polarization.
In addition, by providing the compounds of the formula I the range of liquid crystalline substances that are suitable for the preparation of ferroelectric mixtures from various points of view relating to application, has in general been substantially broadened.
The compounds of the formula I have a wide range of applications. Depending on the choice of substituents, these compounds can serve as base materials which form the predominant part of liquid crystalline phases; however, compounds of the formula I can be treated with liquid crystalline base materials from other compound classes in order to vary, for example, the dielectric and/or optical anisotropy and/or the spontaneous polarization of such a phase. Furthermore, the compounds of the formula I are suitable as intermediate products for the preparation of other substances that can be utilized as components of liquid crystalline phases.
When pure, the compounds of the formula I are colourless and form liquid crystalline mesophases in a temperature range favourable for electro-optical applications. They are very stable against the action of chemicals, heat and light.
The invention thus relates to the compounds of the formula I as well as to the use of the compounds of the formula I as components of liquid crystalline phases. In addition, the invention relates to liquid crystalline phases, in particular ferro-electric liquid crystalline phases, containing at least one compound of the formula I as well as liquid crystal display elements, in particular electro-optical display elements, comprising such phases.

The compounds of the formula I are prepared by methods known per se. These are described in the literature (for example in standard works such as Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart), under reaction conditions which are known and suitable for the named reactions. In this context, use can also be made of variants which are known per se and not referred to here in further detail.
The person skilled in the art can infer the corresponding synthesis methods, via routine methods, from the state of the art (for example German Offenlegungsschriften 2,344,732; 2,450,088; 2,429,093; 2,502,904; 2,636,684; 2,701,591 and 2,752,975 in respect of compounds with 1,4-cyclohexylene and 1,4-phenylene groups; German Patent 2,641,724 in respect of compounds with pyrimidine-2,5-diyl groups; German Offenlegungsschriften 2,944,905 and 3,227,916 in respect of compounds with 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl groups; East German Patent 160,061 in respect of compounds with 1,3-dithiane-2,5-diyl groups; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,261,652 and 4,219,256 in respect of compound with 1,4-bicyclo(2,2,2)-octylene groups; and German Offenlegungsschrift 3,201,721 in respect of compounds with --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 bridge members).
If desired, the starting materials can also be formed in situ, in such a way that they are not isolated from the reaction mixture, but immediately reacted further to form compounds of the formula I.
In general, two corresponding partial compounds (for example (1) and (2) (Scheme 1) or (3) and (4) (Scheme 2)) are condensed to give compounds of the formula I: ##STR11##
--M.sup.1 L.sup.1 and --M.sup.2 L.sup.2 are condensable building blocks, which correspond to, for example, malonic acid derivatives (for example malonic dialdehyde), amidines, aldehydes, 1,3-propanediols and/or 1,3-propanedithiols. L.sup.1 L.sup.2 are one or more split-off groups.
--M.sup.3 L.sup.3 and --M.sup.4 L.sup.4 are condensable building blocks, for example selected from the group --COOH, --COhalogen, --OH, --Ometal, --CH.sub.2 -halogen, --CH.sub.2 -metal, --CH.sub.2 --OH, --CH.sub.2 --O-metal, -metal and -halogen.
L.sup.3 and L.sup.4 are leaving groups. L.sup.3 L.sup.4 is a split-off group, for example H.sub.2 O, H-halogen, metal-halogen.
In addition, to synthesize compounds of the formula I, appropriate intramolecular condensations can be carried out (for example condensation of 1,4-diketones with hydrazine (for example German Offenlegungsschrift 3,238,350) or reaction of a butadiene derivative with, for example, actylene dicarboxylic acid derivatives (for example Japanese Published Applications 58-144, 327 and 58-146, 543)).
The starting materials are known or are obtainable by methods analogous to those used for the known compounds. The person skilled in the art can infer, via routine methods, the corresponding starting materials and/or methods for their synthesis from the state of the art.
In addition, the compounds of the formula I can be prepared by reducing a compound which otherwise corresponds to the formula I, but comprises one or more reducible groups and/or C-C bonds in place of hydrogen atoms.
Such reducible groups are preferably carbonyl groups, in particular keto groups, as well as, for example, free or esterified groups or aromatically bound halogen atoms. Preferred starting materials for the reduction correspond to the formula I, but can comprise, in place of a cyclohexane ring, a cyclohexene ring or a cyclohexanone ring, and/or in place of a --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- group a --CH.dbd.CH-group, and/or in place of a --CH.sub.2 -group a --CO-group, and/or in place of an H atom a free or functionally (for example in the form of its p-toluenesulfonate) transformed OH group.
The reduction can take place by, for example, catalytic hydrogenation at temperatures between about 0.degree. and about 200.degree. and pressures between about 1 and 200 bar in an inert solvent, for example an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol (sic), an ether such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane, an ester such as ethyl acetate, a carboxylic acid such as acetic acid, or a hydrocarbon such as cyclohexane. Suitable catalysts are, advantageously, noble metals such as Pt or Pd which can be used in the form of oxides (for example PtO.sub.2, PdO), either on a carrier (for example Pd on carbon, calcium carbonate or strontium carbonate) or in finely divided form.
Ketones can also be reduced to the corresponding compounds of the formula I, which contain alkyl groups and/or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -bridges, by the method of Clemmensen (with zinc, zinc amalgam or tin and hydrochloric acid, conveniently in an aqueous alcoholic solution or in a heterogeneous phase with water/toluene at temperatures between about 80.degree. and 120.degree.) or that of Wolff-Kishner (with hydrazine, conveniently in the presence of an alkali such as KOH or NaOH in a high boiling solvent such as diethylene glycol or triethylene glycol at temperatures between about 100.degree. and 200.degree.).
Furthermore, reductions are possible with complex hydrides. For example, arylsulfonyloxy groups can be reductively removed with LiAlH.sub.4, in particular p-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl groups can be reduced to methyl groups, conveniently in an inert solvent such as diethyl ether or THF at temperatures between about 0.degree. and 100.degree.. Double bonds can be hydrogenated with NaBH.sub.4 or tributyl tin hydride in methanol (even in the presence of CN groups!); in this way, for example 1-cyano-cyclohexene derivatives give rise to the corresponding cyclohexane derivatives.
Esters of the formula I (R.sup.1 and/or R.sup.2 =alkyl, in which one or two CH.sub.2 groups are replaced by --O--CO-- and/or --CO--O-- groups, or Z.sup.1 and/or Z.sup.2 =--CO--O-- or --O--CO--) can also be obtained by esterification of the corresponding carboxylic acids (or their reactive derivatives) with alcohols or phenols (or their reactive derivatives).
Suitable reactive derivatives of the named carboxylic acids are in particular the acid halides, especially the chlorides and bromides, as well as the anhydrides, azides or esters, in particular alkyl esters with 1-4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.
Suitable reactive derivatives of the named alcohols or phenols are in particular the corresponding metal alcoholates or phenolates, in particular those of an alkali metal such as Na or K.
The esterification is preferably carried out in the presence of an inert solvent. Suitable solvents are especially ethers such as diethyl ether, di-n-butyl ether, THF, dioxane or anisole; ketones such as acetone, butanone or cyclohexanone; amides such as DMF or phosphoric acid hexamethyltriamide; hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene or xylene; halogenated hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloroethylene, and sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide or sulfolane. Solvents not miscible with water can at the same time be advantageously used for distilling off azeotropically water formed in the esterification. In some cases, an excess of an organic base, for example pyridine, quinoline or triethylamine, can be used as solvent for the esterification. The esterification can also be carried out in the absence of a solvent, for example by simply heating the components in the presence of sodium acetate. The reaction temperature is usually between -50.degree. and +250.degree., preferably between -20.degree. and +80.degree.. At these temperatures, the esterification reactions are usually terminated after 15 minutes to 48 hours.
Individually, the reaction conditions for the esterification depend to a large extent on the type of the starting materials used. Thus, a free carboxylic acid is reacted with a free alcohol or phenol usually in the presence of a strong acid, for example a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. A preferred reaction method is the reaction of an acid anhydride and especially an acid chloride with an alcohol, preferably in an alkaline medium, using as the bases especially alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates or bicarbonates such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate or potassium bicarbonate; alkali metal acetates such as sodium or potassium acetate; alkaline earth metal hydroxides such as calcium hydroxide; or organic bases such as triethylamine, pyridine, lutidine, collidine or quinoline. Another preferred embodiment of the esterification consists in first converting the alcohol or phenol to the sodium or potassium alcoholate or phenolate, for example by treatment with ethanolic sodium or potassium hydroxide solution, isolating the alcoholate or phenolate, suspending it together with sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate in acetone or diethyl ether with stirring, and treating this suspension with a solution of the acid chloride or anhydride in diethyl ether, acetone or DMF, conveniently at temperatures between about -25.degree. and +20.degree..
Dioxane or dithiane derivatives of the formula I (in which one of the groups A.sup.1 and/or A.sup.2 and/or A.sup.3 represents a 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl group or a 1,3-dithiane-2,5-diyl group) are conveniently prepared by reacting a corresponding aldehyde with a corresponding 1,3-diol or a corresponding 1,3-dithiol (or one of its reactive derivatives), preferably in the presence of an inert solvent such as benzene or toluene, and/or a catalyst, for example a strong acid such as sulfuric acid, benzenesulfonic or p-toluenesulfonic acid, at temperatures between about 20.degree. and about 150.degree., preferably between 80.degree. and 120.degree.. The most suitable reactive derivatives of the starting materials are the acetals.
The aldehydes, 1,3-diols and 1,3-dithiols mentioned as well as their reactive derivatives are partly known, and partly can be prepared without difficulties by standard procedures of organic chemistry on the basis of compounds known in the literature. For example, aldehydes are obtainable by oxidation of the corresponding carboxylic acids or their derivatives, the diols by reduction of the corresponding diesters, and dithiols by reacting the corresponding dihalides with NaSH.
To prepare nitriles of the formula I (in which R.sup.1 and/or R.sup.2 are CN), the corresponding acid amides can be dehydrated. For example, the amides are obtainable from the corresponding esters or acid halides by reaction with ammonia. Suitable dehydrating agents are, for example, inorganic acid chlorides such as SOCl.sub.2, PCl.sub.3, PCl.sub.5, POCl.sub.3, SO.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, COCl.sub.2, as well as P.sub.2 O.sub.5, P.sub.2 S.sub.5, AlCl.sub.3 (for example as a double bond (sic) with NaCl), aromatic sulfonic acids and sulfonic acid halides. The reaction can take place in the presence or absence of an inert solvent at temperatures between about 0.degree. and 150.degree.; suitable solvents are, for example, bases such as pyridine or triethylamine, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene or xylene, or amides such as DMF.
To prepare the nitriles of the formula I mentioned above, the corresponding acid halides, preferably the chlorides, can be reacted with sulfamide, conveniently in an inert solvent such as tetramethylenesulfone, at temperatures between about 80.degree. and 150.degree., preferably at 120.degree.. The nitriles can be isolated direct after the usual working up.
Ethers of the formula I (in which R.sup.1 and/or R.sup.2 are an alkyl group in which one or two CH.sub.2 groups are replaced by O atoms, and/or in which Z.sup.1 and/or Z.sup.2 is an --OCH.sub.2 or a --CH.sub.2 O-- group) are obtainable by an etherification of the corresponding hydroxy compounds, preferably the corresponding phenols, in which the hydroxy compound is conveniently first converted to a corresponding metal derivative, for example to the corresponding alkali metal alcoholate or alkali metal phenolate, by treatment with NaH, NaNH.sub.2, NaOH, KOH, Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 or K.sub.2 CO.sub.3. The alcoholate or phenolate can be reacted with the corresponding alkyl halide, alkylsulfonate or dialkylsulfate, conveniently in an inert solvent such as acetone, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, DMF or dimethyl sulfoxide or an excess of aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic NaOH or KOH at temperatures between about 20.degree. and 100.degree..

Compounds with branched wing groups can be used in the form of the racemate or as optically active compounds. Achiral base mixtures of compounds of the formula V and, if desired, further achiral components, can be doped with chiral compounds of the formula I or, additionally, with other chiral compounds, in order to obtain chirally tilted smectic phases.
