The present invention relates to novel compounds exhibiting positive dielectric anisotropy useful as components of liquid crystal compositions. Liquid crystal display elements utilize the optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystal materials, and their display methods include TN type, DS type, guest-host type,
There are various types such as DAP type and White-Taylor type, and each type requires different properties of the liquid crystal material used. For example, depending on the type of display element, a liquid crystal material with a positive dielectric anisotropy Δε may be required, a material with a negative dielectric anisotropy may be required, or a material with an intermediate value may be suitable.
However, in any case, the liquid crystal materials used exhibit a liquid crystal phase over a wide temperature range, and also contain moisture and
It must be stable against heat, air, light, etc. At present, there is no single compound that satisfies all of these conditions, and the current state of affairs is to mix several types of liquid crystal compounds and non-liquid crystal compounds to obtain compounds that can withstand practical use. In general, liquid crystal compounds with arbitrary △ε values can be obtained by appropriately mixing those with positive △ε values and those with negative Δε values, but in this case, it is difficult to mix compounds with large absolute values of △ε. Since crystals are likely to appear, △ε
Compounds with small absolute values, low viscosity, and good compatibility are desired as constituent components of practical liquid crystal compositions. The present inventors have discovered the compound of the present invention which satisfies such demands to some extent. That is, the present invention is based on the general formula (In the above formula, X represents an alkyl group or an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms) 4-fluoro-4'-substituted carbonyloxybiphenyl. The compound of the present invention has a small absolute value of Δε of about +2 to +3, so it has good compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds, and by adding it as a component of a liquid crystal composition, its threshold voltage and saturation voltage can be increased. It has the effect of lowering the Next, the method for producing the compound of the present invention will be described. When 4-fluoro-4'-hydroxybiphenyl is reacted with an alkylcarboxylic acid chloride in pyridine, 4-acyloxy-4'-fluorobiphenyl (formula ()) (X=R) is obtained, and 4
-Fluoro-4'-hydroxybiphenyl is reacted with alkylchlorocarbonate, also in pyridine, to produce 4-alkyloxycarbonyloxy-
4'-Fluorobiphenyl (formula () where X=RO) is produced. If the above is expressed as a chemical formula, (In the above formula, R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.) The compounds of the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples below. Example 1 [Production of 4-octanoyloxy-4'-fluorobiphenyl (formula () where X= C7H15 ) ] 4-fluoro-4'-hydroxybiphenyl 5.64
g (0.03 mol) was dissolved in 10 ml of pyridine, then 4.9 g (10.03 mol) of octanoyl chloride was added to this solution, and the mixture was stirred well for several minutes at room temperature. After leaving the reaction solution overnight, it was poured into 100 ml of water and extracted with 100 ml of toluene. The toluene layer was washed with 6N-HCl, then with 2N-NaOH aqueous solution, and then washed with water until neutral. After drying the toluene layer over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the remaining oil was extracted with methanol. Upon recrystallization, 5.7 g of crystals of the target product, 4-octanoyloxy-4'-fluorobiphenyl, were obtained (yield: 60.5%). The melting point of this substance is 54.5-55.5℃, the Sm-I point (smectic-I point)
The clearing point) was 53.7°C. Examples 2 to 7 Examples 2 to 7 in Table 1 were carried out in exactly the same manner as in Example 1, except that 0.03 mol of another acyl chloride was used instead of octanoyl chloride.
4-Acyloxy-4'-fluorobiphenyl as shown in column 7 was prepared. The yield, physical properties, etc. are shown in Table 1 together with the results of Example 1.

Add and stir well for several minutes at room temperature. This reaction solution was left to stand overnight, then poured into 100 ml of water, and the 100 ml toluene layer was washed with 6N-HCl, then with a 2N-NaOH aqueous solution, thoroughly washed with water until neutral, and then extracted with toluene. The toluene layer is washed with 6N-HCl, then with a 2N-NaOH aqueous solution, and thoroughly washed with water until neutral.

[Table] The compounds of Examples 9 and 10 do not form liquid crystals by themselves, but when mixed with other liquid crystal compounds, they exhibit the same effects as the compounds of Examples 8 and 11. Example 12 (Application example 1) Trans-4-propyl-(4'-cyanophenyl)
Cyclohexane 25% trans-4-pentyl-(4'-cyanophenyl)
Cyclohexane 35% trans-4-heptyl-(4'-cyanophenyl)
Cyclohexane 25% trans-4-pentyl-(4″-cyanobiphenyl)cyclohexane 15% Liquid crystal composition A has a nematic temperature range of -6 to 70°C, a viscosity of 28 cp at 20°C, and a dielectric anisotropy value of △ ε is +10.1, and the threshold voltage for TN cells is
1.65V, saturation voltage is 2.25V.

The 26cp dielectric anisotropy value △ε was reduced to +9.9, but the threshold voltage was 1.42V and the saturation voltage was 1.95V, making it possible to lower the viscosity, threshold voltage, and saturation voltage. . Example 13 (Application Example 2) Nematic composition of a liquid crystal composition obtained by mixing 85 parts of the liquid crystal composition A in Example 12 with 15 parts of 4-pentyloxycarbonyloxy-4'-fluorobiphenyl of the present invention. The temperature range was -10 to 61°C.
