Epoxy compounds usually have stronger nucleophilic ability, because the alkyl group on the oxygen atom makes the bond angle smaller, which makes the lone pair of electrons react more dissimilarly with the electron-deficient system. Compound: 8-Bromooctanoic acid, is researched, Molecular C8H15BrO2, CAS is 17696-11-6, about Room temperature helical fluids in single-component systems.Application In Synthesis of 8-Bromooctanoic acid.
Technol. significant chiral nematic (N*) phase is a helicoidal superstructure that is generally formed by the spontaneous self-assembly of entire chiral mesogens (mostly calamitics) or by the LC mixtures where a chiral dopant is being added to the host nematic (N) phase. However, the stabilization of the N* phase at room temperature solely by chiral mesogens is highly challenging where the mol. designing is rather crucial, and thus scarcely reported. New chiral materials namely, non-sym. dimers I (R = n-octyl, n-decyl, n-dodecyl; n = 3, 4, 5, 7) derived from cholesterol were synthesized and characterized. Notably, as expected, some of these dimers I exhibit room temperature N* phase over a wide thermal range. The exclusive occurrence of N* phase has been evidenced unequivocally with the help of polarized optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The chiroptical property of the phase has been studied by recording CD (CD) spectra as a function of temperature where the intense bisignate bands (change of sign within the band) were observed Notably, one of the dimers forms stable gel in an aprotic solvent such as hexadecane. This study reveals a new mol. architecture to stabilize the technol. important N* phase at ambient temperature
