Novel liquid crystals based on [1]benzothieno[3,2- b][1]benzothiophene

Four series of new [1]benzothieno[3,2- b][1]benzothiophene derivatives have been synthesized. In the non-chiral series a SmA phase occurs, while the chiral series exhibits a rather wide antiferroelectric SmC^A* phase just below the SmA phase. The SmA-SmC^A* phase transition has been studied using DSC and dielectric spectroscopy. In the SmC^A* phase the spontaneous quantities have been measured. The tilt angle shows a typical temperature dependence and the values of spontaneous polarization are rather moderate. The length of the helical pitch increases on increasing the length of the non-chiral alkyl chain.

[1]Benzothienopyrimidines. II. Study of the electrophilic substitutions of [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine and [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-(3H)one

The nitration and bromination of both [1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 1 ) and [1]benzothieno-[3,2-d]pyrimidine ( 2 ) has been studied. Nitration of 1 at ?30° afforded a mixture of 8-nitro[1]benzothieno-[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 7b ) (70%) and 6-nitro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)one ( 7a ) (30%). However when the nitration was carried out at 60°, the 6,8-dinitro derivative 8 was the result. On the contrary, the nitration of 2 at ?30° gave a single nitration product, 8-nitro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine ( 11 ). The bromination of both 1 and 2 gave the corresponding 8-bromo derivatives 10 and 13 . Assignment of structure of all the products was based on ir and nmr spectral studies and on unequivocal syntheses.

A series of 6-substituted alkoxy and thioalkoxy[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives were prepared along with the N-methyl quaternary salt 13 of 5 . 6-Chloro[1]-benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 12 was converted into 6-hydrazino[1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinoline 23 which upon treatment with formic acid yielded [1]benzothieno[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoline 6 . Treatment of 23 with nitrous acid resulted in [1]benzothieno[2,3-c]tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline 7 . Compounds 6 and 7 are novel heterocyclic ring systems.     

Synthesis and reactivity of pyrrolo[3,2-d][1,3]oxazine-2,4-dione. Access to new pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepine-2,5-diones

A convenient synthesis of pyrrolo[3,2-d][1,3]oxazine-2,4-dione 4 is described and its reactivity towards various nucleophiles studied.
