Abstract:
A convenient and simple three-step pathway to the new family of CF(2)CF(2)S-bridged alkanes and CF(2)S-, CF(2)O-bridged alkenes and alkynes was elaborated by using catalytic olefination reaction as a key step of the synthetic sequence. The obtained compounds revealed attractive liquid crystalline characteristics.
