[0145] Example 1.1: Synthesis of 2-ethynyl-5-heptyl-1,3-dimethylbenzene: Precursor P-1

[0146]

[0147] To a solution of 1-heptene (3.24 g, 33.0 mmol, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MOUSA) in THF (15 mL, Aldrich) was added dropwise 9 boronbicyclo[3,3,1] at 0°C Solution of nonane (9-BBN) in THF (0.5M, 66.0 mL, 33.0 mmol, Aldrich). The mixture was then gradually warmed to room temperature and stirred for an additional 4 hours to yield a B-heptyl-9-BBN solution which was used in situ without further treatment. Next, add 2-bromo-5-iodo-1,3-dimethylbenzene (9.30 g 30.0 mmol, Oakwood Chemical, Estill, SC USA) and PdCl at 0 °C 2 To a mixture of (dppf) (734 mg, 0.9 mmol, Aldrich) was added THF (150 mL, Aldrich), aqueous NaOH (30 mL, 3M, Aldrich) and B-heptyl-9-BBN solution in a continuous manner. The resulting mixture was then warmed to room temperature and stirred for 12 hours. Then add H 2 o 2 (30%, 12 mL, Aldrich), the resulting mixture was extracted with hexane (Aldrich) and...

[0150] Example 1.2: Synthesis of 2-ethynyl-5-pentylbenzene: Precursor P-2

[0151]

[0152] The synthetic procedure was essentially similar to that described in Example 1.1, except that 1-bromo-4-pentylbenzene (Aldrich) was used instead of IC-1 as starting material.

[0153] Example 1.3: Synthesis of 2-ethynyl-5-(hexyloxy)-1,3-dimethylbenzene: Precursor P-3

[0154]

[0155] 4-bromo-3,5-dimethylphenol (10.05g, 50.0mmol, Aldrich), K 2 CO 3 (9 g, 65.2 mmol) (Aldrich) and DMF (25 mL, Aldrich) were combined, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. 1-Bromohexane (8.20 g, 50 mmol, Aldrich) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 45 °C overnight under an argon atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into dichloromethane (-300 mL, Aldrich); any solid that precipitated was then filtered off. Concentration of the filtrate followed by purification by flash column (silica gel; 100% hexanes) yielded 2-bromo-5-(hexyloxy)-1,3-dimethylbenzene as IC-3.

[0156] Will Pd 2 (dba) 3 (600 mg) and CuI (600 mg) were added to 1,4-dioxane (75 mL), and the mixture was degassed for 20 minutes. Join P(t-Bu) 3 (24 mL; 10% solution in hexane) (Aldrich), followed by degassing for 10 minutes. Then, ...

Abstract

Described herein are liquid crystal compositions that can allow for the adjustment of their refractive indices by the application of an electric field. Also described herein are liquid crystal mixtures containing these compositions. In addition, selectively dimmable reverse-mode polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) elements and devices using these compositions are also described, which are transparent when no or low voltage is applied and opaque when a voltage or high voltage is applied.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application 62 / 322,059, filed April 13, 2016, and US Provisional Application 62 / 467,689, filed March 6, 2017, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present disclosure relates to compounds or compositions having both liquid properties and crystalline properties, and elements or devices using these compounds or compositions. Background technique [0003] In the field of windows, smart windows are an attractive alternative to conventional mechanical shutters, blinds or hydraulic screening methods. Currently, there are three main technologies for smart window applications: suspended particle displays (SPD), polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC), and metal oxide electrochromic (EC). [0004] One of the disadvantages of conventional PDLC or conventional mode devices is that the window only becomes transparent when a voltage is applied and becomes opaque when...
