Abstract
In this article, an asymmetric organocatalytic way to prepare chiral liquid crystals from non-chiral starting materials was described. By using L-proline as the organocatalyst, several new chiral rod-like liquid crystals that are elusive with traditional methods were prepared. In addition, a series of novel enone-containing rod-like liquid crystals were also obtained as side-products. Mesomorphic properties of all new compounds were studied by Polarized Optical Microscope and Differential Scanning Calorimetry.
