✦ Synopsis

About forty novel phenyl benzoates also incorporating a trans-1 ,Cdisubstituted cyclohexane ring and a chiral centre have been prepared. The dependence of the liquid-crystal transition temperatures of this new class of compounds on lateral substituents, diverse central linkages, chain lengths, and position of the chiral centre has been studied systematically. The synthesis and liquid-crystal transition temperatures of these new compounds are described in detail.
