Abstract/Summary

A protecting group approach to the synthesis of a liquid crystalline polyacrylate containing a tetramethylene spacer unit is described. This approach prevents the formation of side products obtained when a more direct synthetic pathway is used. The resulting material shows behaviour typical of a nematic liquid crystal polymer.
