Abstract

Process for synthesizing polymers+PTOBEE (C26H20O8)n and PTOBDME (C34H36O8)n, with the addition of acid dichloride and DL treo-1,2-butanediol in Cl-naphthalene and DL-1,2-dodecanediol with diphenyl oxide, respectively, by passing them through a nitrogen stream at room temperature, heating the mixture, settling in toluene the mixture and filtering. In the resulting settling toluene, the polymer precipitates the enantiomer (-)PTOBEE. The compounds obtained are of the cholesteric liquid crystal type, obtained by stereoselective recrystallization in toluene.
