Summary A second method for the synthesis of 8-bromo-3-methoxyfluoranthene from 2-bromo-7-methoxyfluorene is described. The autoxidation of fluorene derivatives including the 9-carboxylic acids and of related compounds, particularly 4-α-cyanobenzyl-7−oxo-7H-benz[de]anthracene, is discussed. Unsuccessful attempts to prepare 3-bromofluorene-9-acetic acid in good yield are reported.
The synthesis is reported of a series of apolar nematic liquid crystals incorporating an alkoxyalkoxy chain attached in a terminal position to the molecular core. The dependence of the mesomorphism and phase transition temperatures on the nature of the terminal chain with one, two or three oxygen atoms was studied. Some compounds with a completely alicyclic molecular core and a terminal 2‐methoxyethoxy chain exhibit a nematic phase with a low melting point, birefringence and viscosity and a relatively high clearing point in the absence of smectic phases. They do not to absorb light in the near UV and may be useful as components of UV‐stable nematic mixtures for use in photoluminescent liquid crystal displays. The presence of the methoxyethoxy chain leads to a relatively large dipole moment perpendicular to the molecular long axis.

Abstract Abstract We describe an improved synthesis for a [4 + 6] imine-linked cage, which was shown recently to exhibit microporosity in the crystalline state and which can be converted by recrystallization to produce either porous or nonporous polymorphs. The original methodology for the synthesis of this molecule resulted in poor yields (approximately 35%). Here, we demonstrate that the cage can be prepared in almost 100% yields and can be isolated with high chemical purity.
