Synthesis of Liquid-Crystalline Polymers with X-Like and T-Like Mesogenic Fragments via Diels-Alder Reaction
Main chain polymers with a mesogen which contains the residue of muconic acid as the central unit were synthesized. Polymers with a T-like mesogen were obtained by thermal addition of N-substituted maleimides. As a result of reaction with fumaroyl chloride and subsequent reaction with phenols or amines, polymers with X-like mesogen were obtained.
