Isoxazolinas: uma classe de materiais avançados revisitada

Aline Tavares

The synthesis and characterization of novel series of liquid crystalline materials containing N-heterocyclic isoxazoline are described. These molecules were obtained from the reaction of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to different compounds containing double bonds. Thermal properties were analyzed by MOLP, DSC and TGA, and optical properties by absorption spectra. This work presents three publications, one submitted article and two in final stages of writing, all related to the thesis. In the first publication (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2009, 889-897) was obtained a collection of isoxazoline as intermediates in the synthesis of liquid crystalline compounds. The intermediates 3-[4-(alkyloxy)phenyl]-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl methanol and 3-[4-(alkyloxy)phenyl]-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-5-carboxylic acid were selected for the transformation in the respectives LCs. Besides the expected cycloadducts, in one case we obtained the 2:1 cycloadduct in the reaction between nitrile oxide and vinylacetic acid. The final compounds showed nematic and smectic C mesophases. In the second publication (J. Braz. Chem. Soc 2009, 20, 1742-1752) were obtained three new homologous series containing the isoxazoline heterocycle through the reactions esterification, protection of functional groups and Sonogashira coupling. This work represents a systematic study with respect to the LCs properties by varying the number of methylene carbon atoms and the inversion of the polar carbonyl group as connector rings. The final compounds exhibited nematic and smectic C mesophases. In the third publication (Liq.Cryst. 2010, 37, 159-169) were obtained two series of liquid crystals containing the isoxazoline ring connected to different groups arylacetylenenes. The series showed monotropic nematic mesophase for derivatives of phenylacetylene. When a unit has been replaced by naphtilacetylene the compounds showed smectic A enantiotropic mesophase. In the fourth paper submitted to Mater. Chem. Phys. a series of O-benzoyloximes was synthesized from the esterification reaction between oximes and derivatives of benzoic acid. The compounds present N and SmA enantiotropic mesophases and fluorescence, with decomposition of the sample after the first heating cycle. Was also synthesized a homologous series containing the isoxazoline ring by reaction between an oxime and the 3-[4- (octyloxy)phenyl]-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-5-carboxylic acid, with smectic B behavior. In the fifth study, in the final stages of writing, was investigated in detail the thermal behavior of homologous series of 2:1 cycloadducts. The structure was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H, 13C, COSY, HMBC and HMQC), DSC, microscopy and photophysical study. Theoretical calculations were also obtained to understand the mechanism of the formation of 2:1 adduct instead of the 1:1 adduct. The compounds showed smectic mesophases with decomposition of the sample after the first heating cycle. In the sixth work in the final stages of writing, were synthesized two series of LCs containing 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoline ring varying the number of methylene carbon atoms between the ring and an ester group. Thus, we analyzed the mesomorphic properties of these materials in relation to transition temperatures and chemical structure. The compounds exhibited N and SmA mesophases.
