    Abstract: Novel cyclohexylphenylpyrimidines of formula (I) are claimed as is also their prepn. by (i) alkylating 4-(4-trans-alkylcyclohexyl) benzamides (pref. with dialkyl sulphates) to give imidoethers; (ii) reacting the imidoethers with ammonia to give amidines which are then converted by reaction with 1,3-dicarbonyl cpds. to give the corresp. pyrimidine cpds.. In (I) R1 = opt. branched (a) chiral 2-16C alk(en)yl opt. with 1 or 2 non-neighbouring CH2 gps. replaced by -0-, -S-, -C0-, -C0.0-, -0.C0-, -Si(Me)2- or - C(Me)2- and opt. with one or more of the alk(en)yl H atoms replaced by F and opt. with the terminal CH3 gp. replaced by cyclopropylmethylene and R2 = opt. branched (a) chiral 1-10 (pref. 2-8)C alkyl. USE/ADVANTAGE - The use is claimed of (I) as components of liq. crystal mixts.. In partic. ferroelectric liq. crystal mixts. of 2-20 components are claimed which contain (I) pref. in an amt. of 1-25 mol.%, such mixts. being used in switching or display devices. (I) have low m.pt. and wide liq. crystal phases while still having suitable electro-optical properties (viscosity and switch-times and -angles) in liq. crystal mixts.. Mixts. with wide So ranges and high contrast are obtd..

    Abstract: Novel chiral oxazolidinones are of formula (I) or (II). R1 = opt. branched 1-16C alkyl or 3-16C alkenyl each opt. contg. asymmetric C atoms, etc.; R2 and R3 = H, 1-12C alkyl (opt. substd.) phenyl or cyclohexyl (opt. substd.); j, l and n = 0, 1 or 2; k and m = 0 or 1 with the following provisos: when j and/or l = 0, k = 0; when n = 0, m = 0; and j+l+n = 1-3; A1 and A2 = Ph, cyclohexyl, pyrimidin-2- or 5-yl, pyridin-2- or 3-yl, pyridazin-3-yl, pyrazin-2-yl, thiophen-2-yl, etc.; A3 = Ph, cyclohexyl, pyrimidin-2- or 5-yl, pyridin-2- or 3-yl or pyridazin-3-yl; M1 and M2 = -CO.O-, -O.CO-, -CH2.CH2-, -CH=CH-, -CH2.O- or -O.CH2-; and X = -O.CH2-, -CH2-, -C(O).O-, -O.C(O)-, -CH2.O- or -C2H4-. USE/ADVANTAGE - The use of (I) and (II) as doping agents for ferroelectric liq. crystal mixts. is claimed, with the mixt. pref. having a smectic phase. Also claimed are electrooptical switches and display devices which contain a liq. crystal mixt. including (I) or (II) together with 2 electrodes, 2 carrier plates and at least one orientation layer. (I) and (II) impart short switching times to the liq. crystal mixts. and are suitable for producing helix compensation in the mixts. Also, addn. of small amts. of (I) to tilted smectic phases causes strong twisting in the cholesteric phase.
