Definitions
- This invention relates to novel chiral compounds suitable for use in ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal mixtures, and to such mixtures and devices which incorporate them.
- Ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal materials use the ferroelectric properties of the chiral tilted smectic C, F, G, H, I, J and K phases (designated S* etc, the asterisk denoting chirality).
- the SQ phase is generally the most useful, as it is the most fluid, and it is particularly desirable that the material shows an S A or nematic (denoted N) phase at temperatures above the chiral smectic phase, to assist surface alignment in a liquid crystal device.
- Ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal materials desirably have low viscosity, S Q phases that persist over a broad temperature range which includes ambient temperature, chemical and photochemical stability, and in particular have a good spontaneous polarisation coefficient, Ps, measured in nC cm ⁇ .
- ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal materials in use today generally consist of a mixture of compounds which together show a chiral tilted smectic phase.
- Some of the compounds in such a mixture are of a type which either together or separately show a smectic phase (not necessarily being a chiral smectic phase), called a "smectic host", some are additives to improve the properties of the mixture, eg to suppress undesirable smectic ' phases and one or more is an optically active compound which induces the mixture to be chiral smectic, ideally with a good Ps.
- Such optically active compounds are called in the art "chiral dopants”.
- PCT patent application WO 86/00087 describes a series of optically active liquid crystal compounds' that contain the chiral groups:
- the pyrimidine ring is said to be particularly beneficial in the short molecules described as its molecular configuration increases intermolecular distances in the bulk, thus reducing the viscosity.
- the many compounds described are:
- an optically active compound having a general formula I below:
- B is alkyl c , onL ⁇ taHining 1-12 carboinsH, a chiral group, or a group having a general structure:
- n, m and p are independently 0 to 10; in which z or Z 1 are independently selected from CN, Cl, F, Br and CFposition provided that when Z is Cl or CN, then when B is alkyl, X-Y- is not
- a ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal mixture containing at least two compounds at least one of which is a compound of Formula I.
- Preferred chiral groups from which B may be selected include: (i) Chiral alkyl groups containing up to 12 carbon atoms, (ii) Chiral groups derived from the lactate group, ie containing the chiral unit,
- R ⁇ is hydrogen or C ⁇ to C5 n-alkyl and A represents the residue of a naturally occurring a ino-acid which may optionally have any -OH, -COOH or -NH groups replaced by -OR 111 , -COOR 111 , -NR 111 or -NOCR 111 groups where R 111 is C to C5 n-alkyL
- R is preferably alkyl or alkoxy, containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, especially n - alkyl or alkoxy containing 7 to 10 carbon atoms. Alkoxy is more preferred.
- the compound of formula I contains a unit: CN
- -C00- H- especially " by having Y * COO, a single bond, and Z as CN in formula I.
- the COO group (Y) is directly bonded to a ring A ⁇
- B is cyclohexyl (which may be substituted) or alkyl.
- B is alkyl it may be n-alkyl, branched alkyl or optically active alkyl. The branching in the branched alkyl chain may be at any point so that when B is branched or optically active alkyl it may have a structure B' :
- t may be 0 or an integer 1-6 and n and may be the same or different and have values 1-6.
- t is 0 or 1 and at least one of n or m is 1.
- Particularly preferred alkyl groups in table 1 are underlined.
- R is n-alkyl or n-alkoxy, especially containing 3-12 carbon atoms.
- R is n-alkyl or n-alkoxy, especially containing 3-12 carbon atoms.
- R is n-alkyl or n-alkoxy, especially containing 3-12 carbon atoms.
- ⁇ is C 3 -C 12 n-alkyl or n-alkoxy and R 2 is C ] _-C n-alkyl or a branched or optically active alkyl group of structure B* especially those structures listed in table 1, and (F) indicates that a fluorine substituent may be present.
- the chiral centre(s)in a compound of formula I may be of (R) or (S) configuration, and if the compound contains more than one chiral centre then preferably these are such as to induce the formation of S* phases having the same sign of Ps in a ferr ⁇ lectric smectic mixture in which they are included.
- Compounds of formula I in which the unit -YWCH(Z) is COOCH(CN) may be prepared for example by a number of widely applicable routes 1-5 shown schematically in Figs 1-5.
- Compounds of formula I in which -YWCH(CN) is -OCH(CN) may be prepared for example by route 6 shown in fig 6.
- Routes 1-6 are of general suitability but are particularly suited to cases where B is alkyl, phenyl or cyclohexyl.
- these acids are of biochemical origin, they are often available in optically pure f forms of one or more enantioners or antipodes, thus yielding optically pure products, whilst at the same time being relatively cheap. The use of these acids where possible is therefore preferred.
- alpha-hydroxy acids may in fact be prepared from the corresponding amino acids by reaction of the amino acid with nitrous acid at low temperatures:
- Preparation of a suitable alpha hydroxy or amino acid should therefore present no difficulty to the competent chemist. Where these preparation methods result in race ic mixtures of the optical enantiomers or antipodes they may be resolved by known methods, eg the use of brucine or steroespecific enzymic reactions.
- the alpha-hydroxy acid or used directly eg in route 4 contains functional groups in its side chain B, these may be used to vary the structure of the group B.
- functional groups in its side chain B For example serine, thr ⁇ onine and tyrosine contain -OH groups in their side chain, which enables the introduction of ester or ether linkages.
- Aspartic and gluta ⁇ dc acid contain -COOH groups in their side chain which also enable ester or other linkages to be introduced.
- Examples of the types of unit which can be introduced into a compound of formula I using amino acids with functional groups in the side chain include:
- routes 1-6 below require the use of a carboxylic acid of general structure R-X-C0 H (where X is as defined in formula I) many of these are commercially available or else may be synthesised by well known general methods for example hydrolysis of the corresponding cyano compounds R-X-CN.
- R-X-C0 H where X is as defined in formula I
- routes 1-6 are identified below.
- Route 1 is generally suitable for all acids of formula R-X-CO2H and particularly suitable for those groups X which contain rings linked by single bond.
- B is caused to be methyl, but other homologous alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids may be used to cause B to be other alkyl groups.
- mandelic acid ie
- this route is generally applicable to compounds of formula I where one of the groups A in X is COO.
- groups B may be introduced into the molecule, as discussed above.
- route 4 is shown for a case where X is an R- biphenyl group, the method works equally well using any appropriate carboxylic acid in step (3).
- the group B in the starting amino acid is the group B of the final product.
- the amino acid may be used in any of its enantiomeric forms (a racemic amino acid would lead to a racemic product).
- the residue B in the starting amino acid may itself contain an asymmetric carbon atom, for example in the case of isoleucine.
- Various other compounds wherein the unit -YWCH(Z)- is -COO CH(CN)- may be made via routes derived from routes 1-4 above.
- compounds of structure3 & may be made by esterifying the product of step 3(2) with the acid produced in step 2(2) and proceeding via a route analogous to steps 2(3) to 2(6).
- step 5(3) may then be converted to the cyano compound eg of structure 3 «5bY a method analogous to steps 4(4) - 4(6).
- Route 6
- esters may be commercially available, eg ethyl lactate.
- Compounds of formula I may be used as optically active components of ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal mixtures, ie as chiral dopants. When used as components of such mixtures compounds of formula I, particularly the preferred compounds referred to above, may offer the following advantages.
- a ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal mixture according to the invention contains at least one compound of formula I. Typically the mixture will contain 1-20% by weight of the compound of formula I, eg arOund 10% or less. Generally the Ps of the mixture is proportional to- the amount of chiral dopant present. Tne mixture should contain one or more compounds which either separately or together show an Sc phase. Such compounds are known as smectic hosts.
- a large number of classes of compounds which may be used as smectic hosts are known, and some examples of suitable classes are listed in table 4. Of these compounds those of formula 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.8 are preferred, especially where R A and R B independently contain 5-10 carbon atoms. It is particularly preferred to use a mixture of two or more members, eg homologues, of the same class for example to reduce the melting point. These preferred hosts allow the possibility of Sc mixtures showing an Sc phase persisting over a wide temperature range including room temperature, and also an S A phase at a temperature above the Sc, to assist in alignmentof the liquid crystal material. Typically the mixture will contain 40-99% of host compounds, eg around 80%. Table 4
- R A and R B are C.. _ 12 n-alkyl or n-alkoxy.
- pitch compensators are additives in such a mixture which serve a number of functions.
- One such function is as “pitch compensators.”
- Pitch compensation is the inclusion in the ferroelectric smectic mixture of two or more compounds which induce the appearance of helical smectic phases of opposite twist sense. In such a case the compounds will unwind the helical phase induced by the other. This may be used to produce a long pitch helical smectic phase, and by the controlled use of appropriate quantities of the two compounds the pitch of the mixture may be closely controlled.
- pitch compensation may be achieved conveniently by using opposite-twisting compounds of formula I as discussed above which may be different compounds of formula I or enantio ers eg the L(+) and S(+) forms of the compound
- optically active additives for example the amides described in PCT/GB 87/00223, eg any of those listed in table 6 thereof, or the terphenyls described in OK Patent Application 8703103, the latter being particularly suitable when the host includes one or more compounds of formula 4.3
- pitch compensators of these two types include
- R and F* are independently C 1 _ 12 n-alkyl or n-alkoxy.
- F * is preferably CH,.
- a suitable pitch compensator may be a compound of formula 4.1 or 4.2 where R or ani R A are optically active alkyl or alkoxy.
- Additives may be used to encourage the appearance of an S ⁇ phase at a temperature above that at which the SQ phase persists, to assist in alignment of the SQ phase during assembly of the service.
- preferred additives to achieve this have a formula:
- R and R ⁇ are independently n-alkyl or n-alkoxy containing
- Additives may alternatively serve the function of suppressing undesirable smectic phases such as S A or Sg so that these appear, if at all, as far as possible from the working temperature range.
- a preferred class of additives fulfilling this function are the esters of formula: -
- R and R ⁇ are independently n-alkyl or n-alkoxy containing 1-12 carbon atoms, especially 5-9.
- Compounds of formula 4.8 may also be used as additives to suppress undesirable smectic phases in mixtures where they are not used as hosts. Additives may also improve other properties of the mixture, for example to increase the switching speed. Compounds which do this include those which contain a
- R and ⁇ - are independent alkyl groups especially containing 3 to 10 carbon atoms.
- additives may be included, for example to improve viscosity, melting point or other properties.
- a mixture according to the invention may contain 0-50 wt% of additives, preferably 0-20%. Only minute amount of pitch compensators may be necessary, eg less than 1 wt% of the tight twisting compound 5.1 where R is C ⁇ Q H 21 an ⁇ R ⁇ s CH 3' an( 3 preferably no more than about 10 wt% of compounds such as 6, 7, 8.1 or 8.2.
- a mixture according to the invention may be used in any of the known types of ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal electro- optic device, and a device incorporating such a mixture is another aspect of the invention.
- the invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show: Figs 1-6 preparative routes for compounds of the * invnetion. Fig 7 graphs of Ps against temperature for mixtures of the invnetion
