Chiral Compounds [Liquid Crystal (LC) Building Blocks]

Chiral Compounds [Liquid Crystal (LC) Building Blocks] — gathers chiral organic compounds with a single stereogenic center, generally simple secondary alcohols, that function as building blocks for imparting chirality to liquid crystal materials. Enantiomeric purity is a key characteristic of this group.

Chiral building blocks such as 2-butanol and 1-phenylethyl alcohol derivatives are used by functional materials researchers to synthesize chiral mesogens that produce cholesteric or smectic C* liquid crystal phases in the development of optical display and photonic materials. The (R) or (S) configuration chosen determines the helix direction and the optical properties of the final material.
