This paper describes the reasoning underlying the design and synthesis of a range of cyanohydrin esters, specifically as high Ps dopants of host SC materials, for use in fast switching ferroelectric displays.Full synthetic details are given for the preparation of optically pure cyanohydrin esters from naturally occuring L-amino-acids; examples derived from (a) a D-amino-acid, (b) lactic acid are also given.Such materials provide excellent dopants which in suitable SC hosts provide mixtures with wide S*C ranges, good Ps values and long pitches, which switch rapidly at room temperature and may be multiplexed at video frame rates. - Keywords: ferroelectric materials, high Ps dopants, chiral cyanohydrin esters.
