N2 - For visible light reflective cholesteric liquid crystal polymers, reactive chiral dopant enantiomers with high helical twisting power are attractive. However, a chiral dopant for reflecting left-handed circularly polarized light has been missing so far. Here, we report the synthesis of a reactive, left-handed, l-isosorbide-based chiral dopant with a high helical twisting power of -48 μm
-1 that can be used in visible light reflective cholesteric liquid crystal polymers. The right handed dopant enantiomer was also synthesized, showing a helical twisting power of +63 μm
