Abstract
The homologous series of N-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)benzylidene]-4-(2-methylbutoxy)aniline (1), and N-[4-[4-(2-methylbutoxy)benzoyloxy]benzylidene]-4-n-alkoxyaniline (2), and N-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)-3-hydroxybenzylidene]-4-(2-methylbutoxy)aniline (3) where the 2-methylbutoxyl group has an S-configuration, have been prepared. Series 1 and 2 form a chiral smectic C (SC*) phase in addition to a cholesteric (Ch) and a chiral smetic G (SG*) phases, and series 3 form (SC*) and Ch phases.
