Optically active liquid crystalline compounds, whose chirality is due to molecular asymmetry—a dihedral angle of 90° between the two parts of the molecule—are existent in the cyclohexylidene ethanones 1. Such compounds could, e.g., find application as additives to nematic liquid crystals for display devices.
