The acylation of cholesterol and thiocholesterol by acid chlorides of ω-cycloalkane carboxylic acid gave the cholesteryl and thiocholesteryl esters of the corresponding acids.The mesogenic capacity of the ω-cycloalkanoates of cholesterol and thiocholesterol is largely a factor of the polarizability of these molecules and not their spatial configuration.A decrease in the geometric anisotropy and concurrent increase in polarizability impart instability to the meso phase of most ω-cycloalkanoates.
