Collection: Phenols [Liquid Crystal (LC) Building Blocks]
Phenols [Liquid Crystal (LC) Building Blocks] — contains substituted phenols such as amino, alkylcyclohexyl, halogen, benzyloxy, and alkylphenol derivatives that serve as phenolic units in the design of mesogenic molecules. The aromatic hydroxyl groups in these compounds are generally the reactive sites for forming ether or ester bonds toward more complex liquid crystal structures.
Phenols in this category are used by liquid crystal synthesis researchers as starting materials for etherification or esterification reactions to connect phenolic rings with cyclohexyl, phenyl, or other alkyl chain units in the assembly of mesogenic molecules. Compounds such as 4-(trans-4-butylcyclohexyl)phenol and 4-bromo-2-fluorophenol are commonly used as intermediates toward liquid crystal materials for optical display materials research.
Example products in this collection: TCI H0198 123-08-0 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde, TCI C0400 106-44-5 p-Cresol, TCI A0384 123-30-8 4-Aminophenol, TCI D2304 29665-59-6 4-Dodecyl-o-cresol, TCI B2644 88581-00-4 4-(trans-4-Butylcyclohexyl)phenol, TCI D5681 104-43-8 4-Dodecylphenol, TCI B1835 2105-94-4 4-Bromo-2-fluorophenol, TCI E0159 123-07-9 4-Ethylphenol.
Pay attention to the position of substituents on the aromatic ring and the type of protecting group on the hydroxyl, such as benzyloxy, which affect the synthetic route and the ease of subsequent deprotection. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on the page of each item.
