Collection: Alkenylcyclohexanes [Liquid Crystal (LC) Building Blocks]

Alkenylcyclohexanes [Liquid Crystal (LC) Building Blocks] — contains alkenyl-substituted cyclohexane compounds and trans-configured bicyclohexyl structures, often combined with nitrile groups, aromatic halogens, or alkyl chains. This category provides building blocks for the synthesis of liquid crystal materials.

These alkenylcyclohexane compounds are used by materials researchers and electro-optical component developers as intermediates in the synthesis of liquid crystal mixtures for display panels. The trans-bicyclohexyl structure with a vinyl or propenyl group allows further modification through metathesis or coupling reactions to tune the mesogenic properties of the final compound.

Example products in this collection: TCI V0135 96184-42-8 4-(trans-4-Vinylcyclohexyl)benzonitrile, TCI D4872 142400-92-8 trans,trans-4-(3,4-Difluorophenyl)-4'-vinylbicyclohexyl, TCI B5123 153429-47-1 trans,trans-4-Butyl-4'-vinylbicyclohexyl, TCI M2638 155041-85-3 trans,trans-4-(4-Methylphenyl)-4'-vinylbicyclohexyl, TCI B4916 155266-68-5 trans,trans-4'-(3-Butenyl)-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)bicyclohexyl, TCI P2317 116020-44-1 trans,trans-4-Propyl-4'-vinylbicyclohexyl, TCI B4915 129738-42-7 trans,trans-4'-(3-Butenyl)-4-(p-tolyl)bicyclohexyl, TCI P2318 129738-34-7 trans,trans-4-Pentyl-4'-vinylbicyclohexyl.

Note the trans/trans configuration of the cyclohexyl rings as well as the position of the alkenyl group and aromatic substituents, because these geometric isomers determine the mesophase properties of the resulting liquid crystal material. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
