Abstract

NEW MATERIAL:A (+)(S)-3-methyl valeric ester derivative shown by the formula I (group shown by the formula II is group formula III or formula IV; n is 1, or 2; R is 1-10C alkyl; * is asymmetric carbon atom). EXAMPLE:(+)(S)-3-Methylvaleric acid-4-(trans-4-heptylcyclohexyl) phenyl ester. USE:An optical active liquid crystal compound. The occurrence of reversed domain is prevented by adding the titled compound to a liquid crystal composition for TN type display element. PROCESS:(+)(S)-3-Methylvaleric acid chloride shown by the formula V is reacted with a corresponding phenol shown by the formula VI or an alcohol derivative, to give a compound shown by the formula I .

Some of the compounds of the present invention are non-liquid crystal compounds, and some exhibit a cholesteric phase or a sme*ctic phase (Sm), but in all cases, the cholesteric helical pitch is about 20 to 30 pm, and they are TN type. By adding this compound to a liquid crystal composition for display devices at 0.5 to 5 degrees, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of reverse domains. It may also be applicable to display elements using SmO, which has been attracting attention in recent years.
