## Abstract Based on the stabilisation of the molecular motion by the chiral residue, novel optically active biphenylic chiral dopants for nematic liquid crystals were developed. This molecular congestion was obtained by introducing mesogenic residues on the 2,2′‐positions of the chiral biphenyl; t

✦ Synopsis
The new chiral backbones (R)-(+)-and S-(-)-2-amino-2%-hydroxy-6,6%-dimethyl-1,1%-biphenyl and (R)-(+)-and (S)-(-)-2-amino-2%-hydroxy-4,4%,6,6%-tetramethyl-1,1%-biphenyl were synthesized from o-methylaniline and 2,4-dimethyl-aniline respectively in seven steps. A new resolution method was developed to provide homochiral enantiomers (from diastereomeric salts) in reasonably high yields. The absolute configuration of the new biphenyls was confirmed by X-ray structural analysis.
