Fund Project: The author (S.T.Ha) would like to thank Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) for the research facilities and financial support (No.6202/K06)and the Malaysian Toray Science Foundation (No.4359/000) for funding this project.T.M.Koh would like to acknowledge UTAR for the award of the research and teaching assistantships.

A homologous series of benzothiazole derivatives, 6-methoxy-2-(4-alkanoyloxybenzylidenamino)benzothiazoles, were synthesized and characterized using FT-IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis.Enantiotropic nematic phase was observed throughout the entire series.Smectic C phase only emerged from the decanoyloxy derivative onwards.The terminal methoxyl group and the ester linkage influenced the mesomorphic behavior of the present series.
