Abstract
The chemistry of S-(—)-2-methyl-1-butanol leading to chiral liquid crystals (CLC) and their intermediates is summarized and new facile synthetic methods are described. Efficiency of the presented methods is discussed and illustrated with syntheses of several known and new CLC as well as the corresponding chiral intermediates. The newly synthesized chiral compounds display cholesteric and smectic phases.Keywords
