Although discotic liquid crystals are attractive functional materials, their use in electronic devices is often restricted by high melting and clearing points. Among the promising candidates for applications are [15]crown‐5 ether‐based liquid crystals with peripheral n‐alkoxy sidechains, which, however, still have melting points above room temperature. To overcome this problem, a series of o‐terphenyl
Stereocontrolled synthesis of all of the four possible stereoisomers of -3,7-dimethyl- pentadec-2-yl acetate and propionate, the sex pheromone of the pine sawflies
