Abstract
(+)-4-(5-Alkyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)phenyl 4-(2-methylbutoxy)benzoates (9) and their oxathiane (10) and dithiane (11) analogs have been synthesized. The mesomorphic behavior of these compounds was measured. Compounds 9 exhibited a ferroelectric liquid-crystal behavior (e.g. R=n-C10H21: 51 SmC* 57.5°C), while the corresponding 1,3-oxathianes (10) and 1,3-dithianes did not.
