Abstract

The synthesis of homologues of 4-alkoxybenzylidene-4′-aminocinnamic acid 1-trifluoromethylalkyl esters is reported. Only three of the compounds exhibit smectic phases. Phases were identified using optical and electro-optic techniques together with X-ray diffraction studies. Some of the compounds, while not exhibiting liquid crystal phases, show crystalline polymorphism.
