Using a novel thin film polymerization technique, we have observed the phase separation, coalescence, and annihilation of liquid crystal textures during polymerization of wholly aromatic main-chain liquid crystalline polymer poly(p-oxybenzoate/2,6-oxynaphthoate) (P(OBA/ONA)). The polycondensation reaction was conducted and observed in situ on the heating stage of a polarizing microscope. After the melting of monomers, the reaction system started from a homogeneous phase and then changed into a heterogeneous one. The following morphological changes during the entire reaction were observed: generation of anisotropic phase, coalescence of liquid crystal domains, formation of schlieren texture, annihilation of disclinations, and formation of stripe texture. We found all the liquid crystal domains formed in the isotropic melt during the early stage of our polymerization reactions had the disclination strength of +1. The number of defects decreased with increasing reaction time through coalescence and annihilation. At the early stage of polymerization, the dominant factor affecting annihilation rate was the viscosity characteristics at elevated temperatures.

Acylation of heteroatoms (O, N and S) with acetyl chloride based on the use of a catalytic amount of the moisture stable, inexpensive ZrOCl 2?8H2O, proceeds efficiently producing the corresponding acylated products in excellent yields.
Regioselective hydrolysis of diacetoxynaphthalenes catalyzed by Pseudomonas sp. lipase in an organic solvent

Depending on the relative positions of the acetyl groups in the aromatic rings, the Pseudomonas sp. lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of diacetoxynaphthalenes in tert-butylmethyl ether proceeds regioselectively to afford the corresponding monoacetates.
