19-Norcholesterol (6a) was prepared on a known route and esterified with 14 aliphatic and 3 aromatic acids.The aliphatic esters 6c - p and the anisate 6r exhibit cholesteric phases broader than those of the corresponding cholesteryl esters.This effect is caused by a lowering of the melting points which is explained with a less stable packing of the crystal lattices.
