Chirality driven mesomorphic behaviour difference: dichiral compounds containing two lactate groups was written by Wu, Xiaoqing;Wu, Limin;Guo, Yongmin;Li, Yi;Li, Baozong;Yang, Yonggang.

Four compounds containing two lactate groups and one perfluorocarbon chain were designed and synthesized, whose chirality was tuned by changing the chirality of the lactic acid residues. (R,S)- And (S,R)- stereoisomers exhibited an enantiotropic SmA phase, while (R,R)- and (S,S)-stereoisomers exhibited an enantiotropic SmA phase and an enantiotropic SmCd* one. Therefore, the chirality of the compounds played an important role in the mesomorphic behaviors of the compounds The optical activity of these liquid crystals was dominated by the chirality of the lactate group near the core. (R)- And (S)- with one lactic acid residue and one perfluorocarbon chain exhibited only an enantiotropic SmA phase. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2SDS of cas: 103-16-2).
4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2) belongs to ethers. Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are in general triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits. Esters contain a carbonyl center, which gives rise to 120° C–C–O and O–C–O angles. Unlike amides, esters are structurally flexible functional groups because rotation about the C–O–C bonds has a low barrier. Their flexibility and low polarity is manifested in their physical properties; they tend to be less rigid (lower melting point) and more volatile (lower boiling point) than the corresponding amides.
