The cyclohex-2-en-1-one unit flanked by one or more aryl rings is shown to provide a new system which can exhibit liquid crystal properties; these new mesogens contain a chiral centre which is both adjacent to a lateral dipolar carbonyl group and its also located in the central core.
Synthesis and mesogenic properties of 3,6-disubstituted cyclohex-2-en-l-ones

A series of 3,6-substituted cydohex-2-en-l-ones have been prepared by an efficient convergent Robinson-type annulation route. The cyclohex-2-en-l-one ring is the basis of a novel mesogenic core and when substituted at the 6-position provides a chiral cent
