Reaction Steps

6-O-(5,9,13,17-tetramethyloctadecanoyl)-L-ascorbic acid (formula (15) above) and pure water were mixed in accordance with the same procedure as in Example 3 to obtain the sample of 6-O-(5,9,13,17-tetramethyloctadecanoyl)-L-ascorbic acid/water system. The thus prepared sample of 6-O-(5,9,13,17-tetramethyloctadecanoyl)-L-ascorbic acid/water system was subjected to the penetration experiment under a polarizing microscope, SAXS analysis, and dhc value determination based on the results of SAXS analysis in the same manner as in Example 3. As a result, bicontinuous type II Pn3m or Ia3d cubic liquid crystals were found to be formed at least in a temperature range between 1° C. and 60° C. The Pn3m or Ia3d cubic liquid crystals are generated depending on the concentration of 6-O-(5,9,13,17-tetramethyloctadecanoyl)-L-ascorbic acid and the temperature.
