Liquid crystal display elements utilize the optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy that are the characteristics of liquid crystal materials, and there are various display methods, but the currently most practically used type is the twisted nematic type (TN type). ) electric scattering type (DS type), etc. However, recently, other types of liquid crystal display methods have been frequently criticized, with cholesteric-nematic phase transition display and White-Taylor color display being representative examples. The liquid crystal compositions used in these display elements are each adjusted to have an appropriate cholesteric helical pitch by adding an optically active substance to a nematic liquid crystal. It is desired that the molecules of the optically active substance to be added have a twisted helical structure, that the helical pitch is short, and that it is stable against heat, light, air, and water. The compound of the present invention is a novel compound having optical activity and a twisted molecular structure, which is useful for the above-mentioned applications.

The compounds of the present invention have a helical molecular structure, some exhibit a cholesteric phase, and also have negative dielectric anisotropy. By adding a small amount of these compounds to a nematic liquid crystal, a liquid crystal composition for a cholesteric-nematic phase transition type display element or a White-Taylor type display element can be obtained. The helical pitch 'f' of this compound itself, obtained from the helical pitch value obtained by adding 10 parts of this compound to a nematic liquid crystal and measuring it, is 0.2 μm to 3 μm. Furthermore, when this compound is added to a nematic liquid crystal composition for a TN type display element, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of striped patterns (so-called reverse domains) on the display surface and improve its performance.

It is poured into water and extracted by adding toluene, and the toluene layer is washed with 6N hydrochloric acid, then with a 2N caustic soda water bath, and then washed with water until it becomes neutral. After drying with 11 um of anhydrous sulfuric acid, the toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the remaining solid was recrystallized with ethanol to obtain the desired 8-1+)-4-(2-methylbutyloxy).
