Disclosed is a mesomorphic compound having a β-hydroxycarboxyl group as the chiral source, which is represented by the formula:
wherein m and n are integers of from 1 to 18, X1 and X2 independently represent fluorine, chlorine or hydrogen, Y represents
or -O-, Z represents a direct bond,
-CH20, or -OCH2-, and * indicates the asymmetric carbon atom. The mesomorphic compound is valuable as a ferroelectric liquid crystal or an additive to a ferroelectric liquid crystal or to a compound showing the SmC phase and having no chiral group.
