Abstract
The syntheses and liquid crystalline phase behaviour of a series of alkylated dihydroxybiphenyl derivatives of type (1) are reported. In particular, these materials were designed in order to study the effect on phase behaviour of the location of an (S)-2-methylbutyloxy substituent along the lateral alkyl chain and also of the number of oxygen atoms substituted into the chain.
