Synthesis and Properties of New Optically Active γ-Lactones as Chiral Dopants for Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals

Optically active α-aryl-γ-alkyl-γ-lactones were synthesized through the reaction of chiral 1,2-epoxyalkanes with the carbanion derived from 4-methoxyphenylacetonitrile or 4-methoxyphenylacetic acid and shown to be good chiral dopants for ferroelectric liquid crystals.

Optically active lactone derivative, intermediate therefor, process for producing the intermediate, liquid-crystal composition, and liquid-crystal display device

An optically active lactone derivative represented by the following general formula (I): STR1 wherein R1 represents a straight-chain or branched alkyl, alkoxyl, alkanoyloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxyalkanoyloxy, or alkoxyalkoxyl group
