摘要:
An optically active compound having a high twistability and almost no change in the intrinsic pitch depending on temperature, and a liquid crystal composition comprising the compound are provided, which optically active compound is expressed by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each represent 1-20C alkyl or alkoxy, halogen or H; l, m and n each represent 0 or 1; and ##STR2## wherein Y represents H, halogen or cyano.
摘要:
The present invention provides a process for producing optically active compounds by a biochemical method in which specific compounds having hydroxyl groups are reacted with esters in the presence of hydrolases. The compounds have the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein X is selected from halogen atoms and a cyano group. Y is selected from the group constituting substituted phenyl groups, halogen atoms, cyano, trifluoromethyl and amino groups and alkylamino and alkyloxycarbonyl groups in which alkyl groups have 1-20 carbon atoms. R is an alkylene group having 1-20 carbon atoms and n is 0 or 1.
