About twenty substituted phenyl benzoates incorporating a trans ‐4‐pentylcyclohexyl moiety have been synthesised. The synthesis, liquid‐crystal transition temperatures, and enthalpies of fusion are reported. The effect of variations in chainlength and central linkage on the liquid‐crystal transition temperatures is discussed.
