The invention discloses an
isosorbide polymerizable chiral agent and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing
isosorbide, a
benzoyl chloride derivative, 3-phenylpyridine, absolute ethyl
alcohol,
potassium hydroxide and a
lipase catalyst, and uniformly stirring; under the anaerobic condition,
microwave irradiation is utilized to initiate a reaction, and
ultraviolet irradiation and
laser irradiation are used while
microwave irradiation is started; the
microwave frequency is 2350-2500MHz, the
microwave power is 400-1500W, the
ultraviolet wavelength is 190-380nm, the illumination intensity is 5mW / cm < 2 >-5W / cm < 2 >, the temperature is 20-100 DEG C, and irradiation is carried out for 0.5-12h to prepare the
liquid crystal polymer which can be used as a chiral compound, can be polymerized, has a strong HTP value and a
low melting point, has excellent dissolvability with other
liquid crystal compounds, can be used as a constituent material of a polymerizable
liquid crystal polymer, has large twisting force, and can be used for preparing the liquid
crystal polymer. The optical anisotropic body with excellent optical characteristics can be prepared, the raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain, the preparation method is simple, and the product purity is high.
