description

The title compounds were prepared in a multi-step synthesis in which primarily the pyrene building blocks were formed (1,2 11a,b). The final reaction step 11a,b 12a,b consisted of a threefold trans selective cyclocondensation process that generated the central 18-membered ring. Hexyloxy or dodecyloxy sidechains attached on the periphery led to the formation of liquid crystalline phases.
