Abstract: In an attempt to develop new dopants for improved ferroelectric properties in liquid crystals, aryloxazolines have been chosen as chiral moieties. They were prepared in optically active form from (S)-p-amino alcohols via a short stereospecific synthesis and incorporated into mesogenic systems. Mesogenic and ferroelectric properties of 11 compounds in five series of chiral oxazoline derivatives [I (OH), I (H), II (OH), II (H), and III ( ...
