Abstract

Chiral liquid crystalline compounds 1–9 have been synthesized enantioselectively from monoterpenes. The optical purities of ( S)-(−)- and ( R)-(+)-perillalcohol ( 16, 27), ( S)-(−)- and ( R)-(+)-1-pentyl-4-hydroxymethyl-1-cyclohexene ( 33, 34) and (2 S,5 S)-2-pentyl-5-hydroxymethyl-1-cyclohexanone ( 53) have been determined by 1H NMR analysis using chiral shift reagents. The mesomorphic phases and transition temperatures of compounds 2,3,5,6,7,8 and 9 have been characterized.
