Abstract
The synthesis and properties of (S)‐(2‐methylbutyl)benzene derivative and (S)‐2‐phenylpropionic acid derivatives were studied with a view to their application on cholesteric liquid crystal devices. Compared with available chiral compounds the new compounds exhibited larger helical twisting power and higher dielectric anisotropy. The relationship between structure and properties of these compounds is discussed.
