Implement 2
1. 0.02mol p-Coumaric Acid and 0.05mol potassium hydroxide are dissolved in 100ml 95% ethanol, add the 0.03mol toluene bromide again, back flow reaction, and with the progress that the tlc check is reacted, disappear until raw material.70% (volume fraction) ethanolic soln meter 35ml that adds 0.03mol potassium hydroxide afterwards continues backflow 2h.Add entry 100ml, concentrated hydrochloric acid 40ml mixes, and behind the heating 20min, cold filtration with distilled water wash, drying, again with 95% ethyl alcohol recrystallization, obtains 4-benzyloxy styracin, is the white plates crystal, productive rate 49%.
2. in there-necked flask, add 0.015mol 4-to benzyloxy styracin and 50ml anhydrous tetrahydro furan, after stirring is dissolved it fully, DCC (the N that adds 0.01mol, the N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide), after waiting to become turbid, with 0.015mol 2-fluoro-4-4-hydroxy-benzonitrile and a small amount of DMAP[4-(N, the N-dimethylamino) pyridine] be dissolved in wiring solution-forming in the 35ml anhydrous tetrahydro furan fully, slowly splash in the flask, about 20 ℃, stir 24h, after reaction finishes, remove by filter by product N, the N-dicyclohexylurea (DCU) adds distilled water product is precipitated out in filtrate, go out pure product 0.89g by column chromatography for separation after drying, productive rate about 17%.

The structure of confirming institute's synthetic compound thus is consistent with expection.
By DSC (differential calorimetric scanning) and POM (orthogonal polarizing microscope) the liquid crystal phase transition character of institute's synthetic compound is characterized.
The transformation behavior of finding institute's synthetic compound by differential calorimetric scanning analysis is:
K98.9I(82.4)N(42.3)K
The transformation behavior that meets thermotropic liquid crystal.
By orthogonal polarizing microscope institute's synthetic sample is observed: sample presents needle-like crystal under the normal temperature, and 149 ℃ of left and right sides sample fusions, the visual field presents the even black of a slice, illustrates after crystal melts directly to become isotropic liquid.Be heated to 160 ℃ it is fully fused, lower the temperature with the speed of 5 ℃/min again.To about 130 ℃, occur colored drop in the black background, and it is moving to continue to flow, and occurs the cross frosting phenomenon in the part drop, demonstrates typical spherolite texture, shows that sample exists with the nematic liquid crystal attitude at present.This mesomorphic phase is 30 ℃ of left and right sides crystallizations.This phase behavior shows that to benzyloxy styracin-2-fluoro-4-4-hydroxy-benzonitrile ester be monotropic thermotropic liquid crystal.
More than explanation is suitable as liquid crystal composite ideal moiety used in the liquid-crystal display to benzyloxy styracin-2-fluoro-4-4-hydroxy-benzonitrile ester about the test result of liquid crystal property, can be used as the liquid crystal monomer that is mixed in the liquid-crystal display and uses.Can be applicable in the used liquid crystal composite material of liquid-crystal displays such as TN, STN, TFT.
