Abstract

Abstract Translated from German Die neuen Ester aus einem chiralen Alkohol und einer mesogenen Carbonsäure sind durch die allgemeine Formel (I) gekennzeichnet <IMAGE> in der die Symbole folgende Bedeutung haben: n = 0 oder 1, R¹ = unsubstituiertes oder durch Halogen, insbesondere Fluor, substituiertes, geradkettiges oder verzweigtes (C1-C4)Alkyl, R² = unsubstituiertes oder substituiertes (C6-C18)Aryl, Cyclo(C5-C12)alkyl oder ein- oder zweikerniges Fünf- und/oder Sechsring-Heteroaryl, und MC = bei n=0 Molekülrest einer mesogenen Monocarbonsäure MC-OH nach Abspaltung einer OH-Gruppe und bei n=1 Molekülrest einer mesogenen Dicarbonsäure HO-MC-OH nach Abspaltung von zwei OH-Gruppen, ausgenommen sind Verbindungen, in denen n=0, R¹ = CH3, R² = Phenyl und MC = n-(C1-C8)Alkyl- -CO bedeuten. Diese Ester finden bevorzugt Einsatz als Dotierstoff in verdrillbaren Flüssigkristall-Phasen, in der sie eine Temperaturkompensation und eine hohe Verdrillung bewirken. The new esters of a chiral alcohol and a mesogenic carboxylic acid are characterized by the general formula (I) <IMAGE> in which the symbols have the following meanings: n = 0 or 1, R¹ = unsubstituted or straight-chain substituted by halogen, in particular fluorine or branched (C1-C4) alkyl, R² = unsubstituted or substituted (C6-C18) aryl, cyclo (C5-C12) alkyl or mono- or dinuclear five- and / or six-ring heteroaryl, and MC = when n = 0 molecular residue a mesogenic monocarboxylic acid MC-OH after splitting off one OH group and when n = 1 molecular residue of a mesogenic dicarboxylic acid HO-MC-OH after splitting off two OH groups, except for compounds in which n = 0, R¹ = CH3, R² = Phenyl and MC = n- (C1-C8) alkyl -CO mean. These esters are preferably used as dopants in twistable liquid crystal phases, in which they bring about temperature compensation and high twisting.
