## Abstract Reaction of glucal 1 with alkoxybenzene leads after hydrogenation and deacetylation to ฮฒโC glycosides 4, which can be used as chiral compounds in the synthesis of chiral calamitic liquid crystals. The combination with aliphatic aldehydes leads to liquid crystals 5 showing a monotropic S
