Abstract: | Some derivatives of the homologous series of 4-cyanophenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-n-alkoxycinnamoyloxy) benzoates and of 4-cyanophenyl-4-(4-n-alkoxy-α-methyl cinnamoyloxy) benzoates have been synthesises. The higher homologs of these series exhibit reentrant nematic phases at atmospheric pressure. |
