Abstract:
New anisotropic compounds suitable for use in LC-display devices are disclosed and claimed. The new compounds are cyclohexyl cyclohexylmethyl ethers of formula (1): ##STR1## in which X and Y are respectively hydrogen, alkyl group with 1 to 12 C-atoms, alkoxy group with 1 to 12 C-atoms, monoalkylamino group with 1 to 12 C-atoms, nitrile group, nitro group, halogen, or cyclic radical of formula (1a) or (1b): ##STR2## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent hydrogen alkyl group with 1 to 12 C-atoms, alkoxy group with 1 to 12 C-atoms, monoalkylamino group with 1 to 12 C-atoms, nitrile group, nitro group or halogen, and Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.2 represent simple covalent bonds or grounds of the formulas --COO--, --OOC--, --CH.sub.2 O-- or --OCH.sub.2, with the requirement that only one of the groups X, Y can be a cyclicradical or formula (1a) or (1b). Also disclosed and claimed are LC-mixtures containing these compounds and methods for their synthesis.
Abstract:
2-Phenyl-alk-1-enyl-cyclopropane-carboxylic acid esters of the formula ##STR1## in which R each independently ishydrogen, halogen, cyano, nitro and, in each case optionally halogen-substituted, alkyl, alkoxy, alkylenedioxy or alkylthio,R.sup.1 is optionally halogen-substituted alkyk, andR.sup.2 is a radical customary in the alcohol part of pyrethroidswhich exhibit insecticidal and acaricidal activity. They are made from the corresponding alkyl esters which are new and made by novel processes.
Abstract:
3,3-Dimethyl-1-phenoxy-butan-2-ols of the formula ##STR1## in which Y is a halogen atom, an optionally substituted phenyl radical, an optionally substituted phenoxy radical or a nitro, cyano, alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl or cycloalkyl radical, and n is 0, 1, 2 or 3,exhibit plant growth stimulating properties and are also useful in the synthesis of known fungicides. They are produced from tert-butyloxirane and the corresponding phenols.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of the mononitro derivatives substituted in positions 5 or 6 of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-anthraquinone, which comprises nitrating 1,2,3,4,4a,9a-hexahydro-9,10-anthracene-dione by means of nitric acid or a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of nitrated aromatic compounds by the mixed acid process, in which water is removed from the reaction mass by passing an inert gas through it.
Abstract:
This invention provides a convenient and commercially adaptable process for the preparation of vinylcyclopropane derivatives in high yield. For the process an alkylating agent and activated methylene compound are reacted in the presence of an alkylene oxide derivative and alkali metal compound. Water can also be present and/or the reaction may be carried out in an inert organic diluent.
Abstract:
A process is described for preparing benzophenone derivatives of a high purity in an extremely high yield from 3-phenylphthalide derivatives with the use of at least one oxidizing agent.
Abstract:
