A new ferroelectric liquid crystalline compound, 4-(2-butyloxycarbonyl)-Pheny-4-(4-dodecyloxycarbonyl) benzoate (6), has been synthesized by esterification method. The DSC and optical microscopy studies reveals that the compound exhibit ferroelectric and smectic phases at lower and higher temperatures respectively. The NMR & IR spectral studies have also been carried out to verify the ester linkage.
