A homologous series of 4-(4-alkylphenylazo)phenols 1[n] (n = 2–22, even) was prepared in yields of 40–70% by Negishi coupling of alkylzinc chlorides with 4-(4-iodophenylazo)phenol (3). The phenols were converted to the corresponding 4-pentylbenzoates 2[n], which exhibit enantiotropic nematic phases even for 2[22].
