Synthesis and Thermotropic Properties of Some New Schiff Bases, N-[4-(4-n-Alkanoyloxybenzoyloxy)-2-Hydroxybenzylidene]-4-Cyano-, 4-Hydroxy-, 4-Thio- and 4-Nitroanilines

A series of elongated Schiff base esters containing three aromatic rings with hexadecanoyl chain as one of the terminal group and various R substituents (R = CN, OH, SH, and NO2) at the other end of molecule were prepared, and their structures were confirmed via physical measurement. The thermotropi...
