Chiral liquid crystalline compounds 1-9 have been synthesized enantioselectively from monoterpenes. The optical purities of (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-perillalcohol (16, 27), (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-1-pentyl-4-hydroxymethyl-1-cyclohexene (33, 34) and (2S,5S)-2-pentyl-5-hydroxymethyl-1-cyclohexanone (53) have been determined by 1H NMR analysis using chiral shift reagents. The mesomorphic phases and transition temperatures of compounds 2,3,5,6,7,8 and 9 have been characterized.
