The novel silylalkyl or silylalkenyl compounds correspond to the general formula (I) ##STR1## Here the symbols A.sup.1, A.sup.2, A.sup.3 denote aromatic or heteroaromatic molecular units such as 1,4-phenylene or pyrimidine-2,5-diyl which are combined via a single bond (for k, m=0) or via functional groups M.sup.1,M.sup.2 such as CO--O or CH.sub.2 --O; j, k, l, m, n are zero or 1 (j+l+n=2 or 3). The radicals R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 are hydrogen or alkyl/alkenyl, cycloalkyl, and the radicals R.sup.6, R.sup.7, R.sup.8 have a comparable meaning (hydrogen); R.sup.1 is alkyl/alkenyl or one of the substituents known from LC chemistry such as an .alpha.-haloalkanoic radical. In some cases compounds have wide and polymorphous liquid crystalline phases.

Liquid-crystalline phenylpyrimidinyl cyclohexanecarboxylates having a smectic phase, a process for their preparation, and their use in liquid-crystal mixtures The phenylpyrimidinyl trans-cyclohexanecarboxylates of the general formula ##STR1## form a smectic C phase besides a relatively broad nematic phase when R.sup.1 denotes an alkyl radical having 10 to 16 carbon atoms, in particular 11 to 16 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy radical having 8 to 14 carbon atoms, and R.sup.2 denotes an alkyl radical having 2 to 9 carbon atoms. They are therefore particularly suitable as components of liquid-crystalline mixtures having a smectic C phase since they induce a relatively broad nematic phase or extend a narrow nematic phase which is present and extend the temperature range of the smectic C phase to low temperatures, but in particular to high temperatures.

摘要:
Ferroelectric liquid-crystal systems having high spontaneous polarization, in particular >35 nC cm.sup.-2, and good orientation properties in the ferroelectric phase, in particular the S.sub.C * phase, contain at least three different optically active compounds, preferably as dopes in a base mixture which is not itself optically active and has a nematic phase above the smectic phase. The optically active compounds are selected so that they do not all induce a helix of the same rotation sense in the nematic phase. Their relative concentrations are selected so that the total resultant pitch of the helix throughout the cholesteric phase is not less than 10 .mu.m.

The use of optically active tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid esters as dopants in liquid-crystal mixtures, liquid-crystal mixtures containing same and novel optically active tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid esters.Optically active tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid esters containing a mesogenic molecular building unit are suitable as dopants in liquid-crystal mixtures. They result in liquid-crystalline ferroelectric phases having short switching times and in electroclinic phases having large electroclinic coefficients. A further advantage is that they induce a helix having a very small pitch so that they are also suitable for helix compensation in LC mixtures.The compounds are symbolized by the general formula: ##STR1## in which the symbols and indices essentially denote: R.sup.1 =alkyl/alkenyl or tetrahydrofurancarbonyloxy or -thio; j, l, n=zero, 1 or 2; k, m=zero or 1; --A.sup.1, --A.sup.2, --A.sup.3 =phenylene, cycloalkylene or corresponding heterocyclates containing nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur; --M.sup.1, --M.sup.2 =bridges such as --CO--O, --OCH.sub.2 or --CH.dbd.CH; X=oxygen or sulfur.

Optically active oxirane-2-carboxylic acid esters with a mesogenic molecular component suitable as dopants in liquid-crystal mixtures. They result in liquid-crystalline ferroelectric phases with short switching times and in electroclinic phases with large electroclinic coefficients.
