TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Compound: (I) is of formula (Ia)-(Ie) or (II).z = 0-4; andm, n = 3-10.Preferred Electrolyte: The electrolyte has liquid crystal phase and contains an organic solvent. The metallic salt is an alkali metal salt. The electrolyte is immobilized by polymerization reaction, and has ion conductivity and anisotropy. SPECIFIC COMPOUNDS - The optically active compound of general formula (I) is 4-(5-(2-methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborinane-2-yl) benzoic acid 4-(methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyloxy)-4'-biphenyl.    The compound of formula (II) is 4-(5-(2-methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborinane-2-yl) benzoic acid 4-(methyl oxytri (ethyleneoxy) ethyloxy)-4'-biphenyl (disclosed).    EXAMPLE - 2-methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyl-1,3- propanediol (in g) (13.3) and 4-carboxy phenyl boronic acid (10) were refluxed in a reaction container for 7 hours, and cooled. The precipitated crystal was filtered, recrystallized and found to be 4-(5-(2-methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborinane-2-yl) benzoic acid (16.5). Triethyleneglycol monomethyl ether (20) and 20 ml of pyridine were mixed and cooled to 0 degrees C. p-Toluenesulfonic acid chloride (30.2) was added and stirred for 12 hours. Water was added, chloroform extracted and solvent was distilled from organic layer. Methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyloxy tosylate (36.8) was obtained. 4,4'-biphenol (2.6), potassium hydroxide (1.8) and 250 ml of methanol were heated under reflux for 1 hour. Methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyloxy tosylate (4.2) was added and heated. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature. 1 N hydrochloric acid was added and extracted using chloroform. The solvent was distilled from organic layer and 4'-(methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyloxy)-4-hydroxy biphenyl (2.5) was obtained.    The obtained biphenyl compound (1.3), 1,3-dicyclo carbodiimide (0.4), 4-dimethylamino pyridine (0.48) and 20 ml of dry chloroform were added to 4-(5-(2-methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborinane -2-yl) benzoic acid (1.37) and stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. Water was added, chloroform was used for extraction and solvent was removed from organic layer. The product was recrystallized and 4-(5-(2-methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborinane-2-yl) benzoic acid 4-(methyl oxydi (ethyleneoxy) ethyloxy)-4'-biphenyl (1.1) was obtained as a white solid. The compound (99 mg) was dissolved in dry chloroform, and tetrahydrofuran solution of lithium trifluoromethane sulfonate was added and stirred. The mixture was dried under reduced pressure, and the solvent was distilled. A liquid crystal electrolyte was obtained. The electrolyte had favorable ionic conductivity.
