Abstract
Twenty new 2,5-disubstituted 1,3-dioxans were prepared, and their mesomorph ic properties were investigated by optical polarizing microscopy and DSC; a ll of the compounds exhibit the nematic phase only. With fluorination in th e mesogenic core, the melting and clearing points were reduced, but their n ematic phase range only slightly shortened.
