【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、1-ハロ-3-アルコキシベンゼン誘導体の製造方法及び液晶材料として有用な光学活性化合物の製造中間体である光学活性1-ハロ-3-アルコキシベンゼン誘導体に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
液晶表示素子に用いられる液晶表示材料には、通常ネマチック液晶に少量の光学活性化合物をドーパントとして添加したキラルネマチック液晶が用いられている。ここで用いる光学活性化合物としてはこれまで様々な化合物が開発されてきたが、下式に示すような化合物(R*がキラルな不斉炭素を有するアルキル基である)は、少量の添加でも十分な螺旋を誘起し、極性が小さく、化学的に安定で、螺旋ピッチの温度依存性が小さいなどの特徴を有しており、螺旋誘起剤として有用である(特許文献1及び2参照)。また光学活性でない化合物の場合も屈折率異方性を下げる化合物として有用である(特許文献3及び4参照)。

これらの化合物を製造するには下式で表されるジフルオロまたはトリフルオロフェニル化合物に金属アルコキシドを反応させることによって得られてきた。この方法では最後に金属アルコキシドを反応させることから、金属アルコキシドの種類を変えることによって様々な化合物を容易に合成できる反面、アルコキシド部位は同じで、末端アルキル鎖や液晶主骨格の異なる化合物を合成するには、決して効率的ではなかった。(特許文献5参照)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a 1-halo-3-alkoxybenzene derivative and an optically active 1-halo-3-alkoxybenzene derivative which is an intermediate for producing an optically active compound useful as a liquid crystal material.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a liquid crystal display material used for a liquid crystal display element, a chiral nematic liquid crystal obtained by adding a small amount of an optically active compound as a dopant to a nematic liquid crystal is usually used. Various compounds have been developed as optically active compounds here, but compounds such as those shown below (R * is an alkyl group having a chiral chiral carbon) can be added in small amounts. It is useful as a spiral inducer (see Patent Documents 1 and 2), and has features such as induction of a spiral, small polarity, chemical stability, and small temperature dependence of the spiral pitch. In addition, compounds that are not optically active are also useful as compounds that lower the refractive index anisotropy (see Patent Documents 3 and 4).

These compounds have been produced by reacting a metal alkoxide with a difluoro or trifluorophenyl compound represented by the following formula. In this method, since the metal alkoxide is reacted at the end, various compounds can be easily synthesized by changing the type of metal alkoxide, but on the other hand, compounds with the same alkoxide moiety but different terminal alkyl chain and liquid crystal main skeleton are synthesized. It was never efficient. (See Patent Document 5)

Example 1 Synthesis of (R) -1-bromo-3,4-difluoro-5- (1-methylheptyloxy) benzene
Figure 0004328998
Sodium hydride (60% oily, 7.7 g) was placed in the reaction vessel and washed with a small amount of hexane. DMF (35 ml) was added thereto, and a solution of (R) -2-octanol (18.7 g) in DMF (95 ml) was slowly added dropwise. Under ice cooling, a THF (125 ml) solution of 1-bromo-3,4,5-trifluorobenzene (25.1 ml) was added dropwise thereto, followed by stirring for 30 minutes and further stirring at room temperature for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into 10% hydrochloric acid, extracted with hexane and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane) to obtain (R) -1-bromo-3,4-difluoro-5- (1-methylheptyloxy) benzene (34.7 g).
