This research includes the synthesis, characterization, and investigation of
liquid crystalline properties of new rod-shaped liquid crystal compounds 1,4-
phenylene bis(2-(5-(four-alkoxybenzylidene)-2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-
yl)acetate), prepared thiazolidine-2,4-dione (I) by the thiourea reaction with
chloroacetic acid and water in the presence of the concentrated hydrochloric
acid. The n-alkoxy benzaldehyde (II)n synthesized from the reacted 4-
hydreoxybenzaldehyde and n-alkyl bromide with potassium hydroxide, and
then the compound (I) was reacted with (II)n in the presence of piperidine to
produce compounds (III)n. Also, hydroquinone was converted into a
corresponding compound (IV) by refluxing with two moles of chloracetyl
chloride in pyr
