The invention belongs to the field of preparation of
liquid crystal compounds, and discloses a preparation method of trans, trans-n-propyl cyclohexyl cyclohexyl
ethylene, which comprises the following steps of: reacting trans, trans-n-propyl cyclohexyl cyclohexyl
formic acid serving as a
raw material with an N-
methoxyamine reagent to prepare trans, trans-n-propyl cyclohexyl cyclohexyl
ethylene, and reacting the trans, trans-n-propyl cyclohexyl cyclohexyl
formic acid with the N-
methoxyamine reagent to prepare the trans, trans-n-propyl cyclohexyl cyclohexyl
ethylene. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: adding trans-n-propyl cyclohexyl cyclohexyl-N-methoxyl-N-methyl
formamide; then carrying out a reduction reaction, and reducing into an
aldehyde group, so as to obtain trans, trans-n-propyl cyclohexyl cyclohexyl
formaldehyde; and adding a Wittig
reagent, carrying out a
Wittig reaction, and then purifying to obtain the trans, trans-n-propyl cyclohexyl cyclohexyl ethylene. According to the preparation method, the raw materials are easy to obtain, only three synthesis steps are needed, the process
route is simplified, the molecular
utilization rate in the reaction process is high, the product cost is reduced, the reaction process is
environmentally friendly, industrial
mass production is facilitated, and the prepared product is good in quality and meets the requirement of a novel display mode for quick response of the
liquid crystal material.
