Abstract:
PURPOSE:To provide a new 1,1-difluoroalkane derivative expected to give a liquid crystal composition having high response speed owing to low viscosity and high stability to light. CONSTITUTION:The compounds of formula I (A to A are trans-1,4-disubstituted cyclohexylene, 1,4-disubstituted phenylene, etc.; Y and Y are COO, OCO, CidenticalC, CH2CH2, CH=CH, OCH2, CH2O or single bond; m and n are 0 or 1; R and R are 1-10C alkyl, halogen, CN, etc.), e.g. the compound of formula II. The compound of formula (Y and Y are not CidenticalC) among the above compounds can be produced by reacting a compound of formula 7 with a compound of formula 8. Since the compound has low viscosity, it is effective to improve the response speed of a liquid crystal composition by the addition of only a small amount of the compound to enable the low-voltage driving, high-duty driving and the work over a wide temperature range. The durability to ultraviolet ray is also higher than a difluorostilbene-type compound to enable the full utilization of the characteristic feature of low viscosity.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To efficiently produce an unsaturated ketone useful as a perfume, medicine or raw material thereof and a high polymer raw material for photosensitive copolymer from formaldehyde and a ketone in high selectivity without using a mineral acid. CONSTITUTION:Formaldehyde is subjected to dehydrogenation condensation with a ketone expressed by formula I (R and R are H, 1-4C alkyl, phenyl or phenyl in which at least one site of benzene nucleus is replaced by 1-4C alkyl and/or halogen; (n) is 0 or 1) in the presence of a solid catalyst expressed by the formula P1XaOb (X is at least one kind of element selected from alkali metal, alkali earth metal, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Zr, Nb, B and Si; (a) and (b) are expressed by atomic ratio to P; (a) is 0.5-30; (b) is a number determined by value of (a) in a vapor phase. Thereby the objective unsaturated ketone expressed by formula IIa to formula IIc is obtained stably for long time in extremely high conversion and selectivity, compared with a method using a conventional catalyst.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To efficiently obtain a 3-halogeno-2,3-unsaturated ketone useful as an intermediate for medicines and agricultural chemicals in high yield under nearly neutral mild conditions. CONSTITUTION:1,3-Drones expressed by formula 2 (R and R are organic group or R and R together may form a cyclic form) are made to react with a haloiminium salt expressed by formula 1 [R and R are lower alkyl; X is halogen; (n) is 2 or 3], preferably 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride, 2-chloro-1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinium chloride, etc., to advantageously afford the objective 3-halogeno-2,3-unsaturated ketone expressed by formula 4.
Abstract:
NEW MATERIAL:Trifluoromethyl group-containing unsaturated ketones represented by the formula (R is aryl, alkenyl or alkynyl). EXAMPLE:alpha-Trifluoromethylpropiophenone. USE:An intermediate for synthesis of medicines, pesticides, liquid crystal materials, etc. For example, a compound obtained by reduction thereof is used as an intermediate for synthesis of an anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent and a compound prepared by oxidation of the unsaturated bond thereof is used as an intermediate for synthesis of a fluorine-containing amino acid having an antibacterial effect. PREPARATION:For example, 1-phenyl-2-trifluoromethyl-1-propanol is subjected to an oxidative reaction against alcohols using an oxidizing agent consisting of PCC agent composed of a mixture of PCC, Celite, etc., at -78-50 deg.C in a solvent such as anhydrous dichloromethane to obtain the objective compound of the formula.
Abstract:
NEW MATERIAL:The compound of formula I (R 1 is H, alkyl, alkenyl or aryl; R 2 WR 4 are H or lower alkyl; provided that R 1 WR 4 are not H at the same time). EXAMPLE: 2,2,-Dichloro-1-phenyl-4-penten-1-one. USE: A synthetic intermediate for the preparation of useful terpene compounds. PROCESS: The ether of a 2,2,2-trichloroethyl compound and an allyl compound (formula II) is dehydrochlorinated by reacting in the presence of a base such as potassium tert-butoxide, in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, for several hours with or without heating. The objective compound of formula I can be prepared, in high efficiency, by the thermal rearrangement of the resulted ether of 2,2-dichlorovinyl compound and an allyl compound (formula III) at 100W150° for about 30min.
