Synthesis of 4′-Alkoxy-4-(ω-cinnamoylalkoxy)azobenzenes and Their Photoswitchable Behavior

Synthesis of 4′-Alkoxy-4-(ω-cinnamoylalkoxy)azobenzenes and Their Photoswitchable Behavior

In search of new thermotropic, photoswitchable materials, a number of 4′-alkoxy-4-(ω-cinnamoylalkoxy)azobenzenes were prepared. The synthetic procedure included <i>O</i>-alkylation of 4-nitrophenol, followed by reduction of the nitro group (H<sub>2</sub>, Pd/C), diazotization...
