Embodiment 1

[0076] Example 1: 7,8-dihydro-6H-5,9-dioxanaphthyl-[a,c]-cyclononen (cyclononen)-7-ol (from 2,3-epoxy-1- propanol, Mitsunobu variant)

[0077]

[0078] 260 g of (S)-(-)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol and 274 g of triphenylphosphine were dissolved in 3146 g of THF, and the solution was warmed to an internal temperature of 65°C.

[0079] Then, first 80 g of 2,3-epoxy-1-propanol were added, and then 225 g of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate were added dropwise within about 40 minutes. After a reaction time of 20 minutes, HPLC check showed virtually complete reaction.

[0080] 1567 g of tetrahydrofuran were distilled over the course of 2.5 hours. At an internal temperature of 64° C., 192 g of 7.5% sodium hydroxide solution were metered in over the course of 5 minutes. After a reaction time of 1.5 hours, HPLC checks showed virtually complete crystallization of the desired product.

[0081] Separation and purification:

[0082] Distilled tetrahydrofuran and 16 g of ethylenediamine we...

Embodiment 2

[0093] Example 2: 7,8-Dihydro-6H-5,9-dioxanaphthyl-[a,c]-cyclononan-7-ol (DIAD variant)

[0094] 260 g of (S)-(-)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol and 274 g of triphenylphosphine were dissolved in 3120 g of THF, and the solution was warmed to 60° C. over the course of 50 minutes internal temperature.

[0095] Then 80 g of 2,3-epoxy-1-propanol were added, and after stirring the mixture for 10 minutes, 225 g of DIAD were metered in over the course of about 30 minutes. After a reaction time of 20 minutes, HPLC check showed virtually complete reaction (1.8% starting material).

[0096]2.6 kg of THF were distilled off from the reaction, the concentrate was taken up in 1343 g of toluene, the solution was warmed to 40° C., and 546 g of n-heptane were added. After stirring the mixture for 30 minutes, 1054 g of water were added. Most of the aqueous phase was drained and the remaining biphasic mixture was filtered through a layer filter covered with 30 g of diatomaceous earth. The remainin...

Embodiment 3

[0105] Example 3: 7,8-Dihydro-6H-5,9-dioxanaphthyl-[a,c]-cyclononan-7-ol (from epichlorohydrin)

[0106] 500 g of (S)-binaphthol were suspended in 1.25 l of acetonitrile, 715 ml of triethylamine and 335 ml of epichlorohydrin were added, and the mixture was warmed to 76° C. over the course of 1 hour.

[0107] After a reaction time of 40 hours, the mixture was cooled to 35° C. and a mixture of 250 ml of water and 150 ml of 32% hydrochloric acid was added.

[0108] The mixture was stirred at 50°C for 18 hours to complete the reaction of excess epichlorohydrin.

[0109] The mixture was adjusted to pH 7.5 with 50% sodium hydroxide solution. Acetonitrile was essentially distilled off, and the residue was diluted with 31 of water.

[0110] The reaction product was extracted 3 times with 1.5 l of dichloromethane. The combined dichloromethane phases were sucked dry on 600 g of sodium sulfate, the filter was washed with 500 ml of dichloromethane, and the filtrate was filtered through...

Abstract

The invention relates to an improvement method for preparing BINOL cyclicether derivate. The final product can be used for chiral component of liquid crystal compound.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of BINOL cyclic ether derivatives. The resulting end product is used as the chiral component of the liquid crystal mixture. Background technique [0002] Chiral compounds can be used as additives to liquid crystal mixtures in order to induce a helical twist in the alignment of the mixture. For many fields of application of liquid crystal mixtures it is desirable to produce phases with a helical twist. This also includes most technologies for display screens, whether they have an active or passive matrix for addressing. [0003] Chiral compounds based on the chiral moiety BINOL (1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol) are disclosed in publication WO 02 / 094805. One class of compounds described therein is a compound having a general formula I structure, [0004] [0005] The radical MES in this case stands for a mesogenic, liquid crystalline and / or functional, in particular polymerizable m...
