A new series of mesogenic Schiff's base esters, 4-(4′-n-Alkoxybenzoyloxy) 3-methoxy benzylidene 2″-aminonaphthalenes has been synthesized. The synthesized compounds were characterised by elemental analysis and standard spectroscopic methods. All the homologues synthesized exhibit mesomorphism. The mesomorphic properties of the present series are compared with other structurally related series. Chiral nematic mesophase (N*) is induced in the system by doping a derivative of naturally occurring chiral compound.
