Synthesis of Carbolines via Microwave-Assisted Cadogan Reactions of Aryl-Nitropyridines

2,6,10-Trichlorotris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′,5′-c:1′′,5′′-e][1,3,5]triazine

Three very similar and nearly planar molecules are present in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C6Cl3N9. Whereas the threefold 1,5-annulation of the chlorotriazole moieties is obvious, all of the C and N atoms in the central triazine ring are equally disordered on the same site, approachingD3hsymmetry for each of the molecules.

Tetrakis(oxadiazolylphenyl)pyrazines: New St. Andrew's Cross-Shaped Liquid Crystals.

π-Conjugated molecules with the shape of St. Andrew's cross have been synthesized via fourfold Huisgen reaction. Four 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol arms are attached to a central pyrazine nucleus. These fluorescent stars, when decorated with a rim of eight alkoxy side chains are discotic liquid crystals. Depending on the substitution pattern, the width of the liquid phase varies within a broad range of 25 °C to 250 °C. In their liquid crystalline phase, the molecules assemble in a typical hexagonal columnar supramolecular arrangement.
