Abstract: New thermotropic liquid crystals containing benzoxazole core and alkanoyloxy chain at the end group of the molecules (C_n-1H_2n-1COO-, n = 14, 16, 18) was synthesized. The present compounds are enantiotropic smectic A liquid crystals.It was also found that the end groups of the molecules and polar chloro substituent at the benzoxazole fragment had effect on the mesomorphic properties.
