Chiral compounds

The invention relates to chiral compounds of formula I wherein R1, R2, X, Y1and Y2have the meanings defined herein, as well as to liquid crystalline mixtures comprising at least one chiral compound of formula I. The invention also relates to chiral linear or crosslinked liquid crystalline polymers obtainable by polymerizing a polymerizable mixture comprising at least one chiral compound of formula I, and to the use of chiral compounds of formula I and mixtures and polymers obtained thereof in liquid crystal displays, such as STN, TN, AMD-TN, temperature compensation, guest-host, phase change or surface stabilized or polymer stabilized cholesteric texture (SSCT, PSCT) displays, in active and passive optical elements like polarizers, compensators, alignment layers, color filters or holographic elements in adhesives, synthetic resins with anisotropic mechanical properties, cosmetics, diagnostics, liquid crystal pigments, for decorative and security applications, in nonlinear optics, optical information storage or as chiral dopants, and to a liquid crystal display comprising a mixture comprising at least one chiral compound of formula I.
