Optically active-2-alkoxy-propyl ether and liquid crystal composition

An optically active substance which, when added as a component of ferroelectric liquid crystal compositions, is extremely small in the reduction of the resulting liquid crystal temperature region, and a liquid crystal composition containing the same are provided, which substance is an optically active-2-alkoxy-propyl ether expressed by the formula (I) STR1 wherein R1 represents a straight or branched chain alkyl, alkoxy, alkanoyl, alkanoyloxy or alkoxycarbonyl each of 1 to 18 C; R2 represents a linear or branched chain alkyl each of 1 to 15 C; --A-- represents a specified group constituted by two directly bonded, six-membered rings; and * indicates asymmetric carbon atom.
