The steroidal derivatives are found to be extremely good mesogens since their inception. Because of their inherent chirality, they have the potential to induce a wide variety of liquid crystalline phases, including frustrated phases depending upon the structure of the steroidal skeleton and the substituents attached. In this report, a series of novel monoalkoxy and dialkoxy benzoate derivatives of ergosterol and a few monoalkoxy derivatives of stigmasterol have been synthesized and their mesomorphic property has been investigated. The derivatives exhibited various mesophases including SmA, SmC*, N*, TGB and blue phases. Also, the gelation ability of some of these derivatives with various organic solvents has been examined. Furthermore, the mesomorphism of these derivatives has been compared with the analogous cholesteryl counterparts.

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of bis ester derivatives of coumarin containing chalcone linkage
Shah, Priyanka,Soni, Rina,Soman, Shubhangi S
, (2021/05/04)
Bis ester derivatives of coumarin containing chalcone linkage with various terminal alkoxy groups were designed, synthesized and characterized. Compounds 11a-m were studied for their mesomorphic properties using polarizing optical microscope & differential scanning calorimetry and photophysical properties using UV-vis & fluorescence spectroscopy. In this particular homologous series, compounds having lower flexible alkoxy chains showed very good mesogenic property with nematic mesophase formation, while analogues with higher chains failed to show any liquid crystalline property. Compound 11a with methoxy group showed very good absorbance and fluorescence as compared to higher chain length analogues.
