An efficient and practical system for inexpensive bromination and iodination of arenes as well as heteroarenes by using readily available dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and HX (X = Br, I) reagents is reported. This mild oxidative system demonstrates a versatile protocol for the synthesis of aryl halides. HX (X = Br, I) are employed as halogenating reagents when combined with DMSO which participates in the present chemistry as a mild and inexpensive oxidant. This oxidative system is amenable to late-stage bromination of natural products. The kilogram-scale experiment (>95% yield) shows great potential for industrial application.

We have synthesized 2-[5-(4-[(S)-2-methylbutoxy]phenyl)-3-methyl]-2'''- propyl-2:5'-2':5''-2'':5'''-quaterthiophene (10), a liquid crystalline semiconductor that exhibits a chiral nematic phase, and used the time-of-flight technique to determine its carrier mobility behavior. In the chiral nematic phase, the positive carrier mobility was 210-4cm2/Vs at 120C and the negative carrier mobility was 110-4cm2/Vs, both of which we attribute to electronic processes. For the negative carrier, in addition to the fast electronic process, we also observed a slow carrier transport, having mobility on the order of 10-5cm2/Vs, which we attribute to ionic conduction. Chiral dimers containing binaphthyl group exhibited stable glassy cholesteric phase and cholesteric thin films with selective reflection band in visible light area could be fabricated. They emitted circularly polarized light with dichroic parameter of 1.3 when UV light was illuminated.

A large number of new liquid crystals incorporating the 2,5-disubstituted thiophene ring have been prepared and their mesomorphic behaviour studied in order to systematically investigate the correlation between the molecular structure and mesomorphism of thiophene derivatives with different shapes, polarisability and polarity. As a consequence of these investigations we have prepared a new class of liquid crystals incorporating a 2,5-disubstituted thiophene ring and a conjugated trans-carbon-carbon double bond in the terminal chain. These novel thiophene derivatives are the first liquid crystals incorporating a 2,5-disubstituted thiophene ring to exhibit a nematic phase at room temperature. This enables the flexoelectric coefficients of a bent-shaped molecule to be measured directly and at room temperature for the first time to the authors' knowledge. Many of these new thiophenes exhibit a high birefringence and a high nematic clearing point and are of potential use as components of nematic mixtures in LCDs.
