Amphiphilic and Mesogenic Carbohydrates. 10. Change of the Type of the Mesophase by Variation of the Acyl Chain of Amphiphilic Tetradecyl (N-acylamino)-2-deoxy-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranosidesThe homologous amphiphilic tetradecyl-2-(N-alkanoylamino)-2-deoxy-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranosides 5a-f were synthesized from the 2-(N-alkanoylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranoses 1a-f via the glucosyl chlorides 2a-f, the glucosyl isothiuronium chlorides 3a-f, and the acetylated thioglucosides 4a-f. On heating the amphiphiles 5a-f form different types of liquid crystalline phases in dependence of the length of the acyl chain, i.e. 5a and 5b form smectic phases, 5d-f form columnar mesophases. Polarisation microscopy, DSC-measurements and contact preparations were used to characterise the liquid crystaline phases.
