The synthesis of donor-acceptor-type 2,5-diarylthiazoles that bear electron-donating N,N-dialkylamine and electron-withdrawing cyano groups at the 2- and 5-position, respectively, were carried out with transition-metal-catalyzed C-H arylation reactions developed by us. The compounds were synthesized by the C-H arylation of unsubstituted thiazole at the 2-position with a palladium/copper catalyst in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) as an activator. Further C-H arylation of the 2-arylated thiazole at the 5-position was carried out by the palladium-catalyzed reaction in the presence of silver(I) fluoride to afford the donor-acceptor-type 2,5-diarylthiazoles with N,N-dialkylamine groups of different chain lengths. The UV/Vis absorption, photoluminescence, and electrochemical behavior were similar regardless of chain length, whereas liquid-crystalline behavior and thermal characteristics were found to be dependent on the alkyl-chain length. The compounds with N,N-diethylamine or N-butyl-N-methyl groups showed a stable liquid-crystalline phase over a wide temperature range as well as higher stability to thermal decomposition.
