The present invention relates to a novel organic compound, and more particularly to a novel compound that can be used as a component of a liquid crystal material with positive dielectric anisotropy. As is well known, liquid crystal compounds are used in various display devices by utilizing the anisotropy of the dielectric constant and the anisotropy of the refractive index in the liquid crystal phase. These displays can be used for liquid crystal display elements that apply the electro-optical effect of liquid crystals, or those that apply the thermo-optical effect of liquid crystals, and can be used for display elements that use nematic liquid crystals with twisted liquid crystal alignment, as well as display elements that use suitable dyes. It is also used in liquid crystal display elements that apply the guest-host effect using liquid crystal compounds or liquid crystal mixtures containing substances. These liquid crystal materials cannot be used as a single compound in terms of their properties, such as liquid crystal temperature range, operating voltage, response performance, etc., and for practical purposes, it is necessary to mix several types of liquid crystal compounds or non-liquid crystal compounds. I have obtained something that can withstand some use. For example, the nematic liquid crystal composition used in a nematic liquid crystal display element has a dielectric anisotropy value (Δε=ε−
ε⊥) exhibiting a large positive value is desired. The liquid crystal composition desirably has a low viscosity in order to increase the response speed of the liquid crystal display element. In a liquid crystal display element in which a liquid crystal composition is sandwiched between electrodes on a counter substrate, color unevenness may occur due to local unevenness in the spacing between the counter electrodes, and the optical anisotropy value (Δn
It is known that the occurrence of color unevenness can be reduced by using a liquid crystal composition with a large value (=n−n⊥). A liquid crystal composition with a small spacing between opposing electrodes can provide a large electric field strength with the same applied voltage, and a component that increases Δn of the liquid crystal composition is desired. It is desirable that the liquid crystal composition used in liquid crystal display elements exhibits a liquid crystal phase over a wide temperature range, and when additive components are mixed, the viscosity of the liquid crystal composition does not increase significantly and the liquid crystal phase - isotropic liquid phase is achieved. What is desired is something that can raise the transition point of . In view of the above circumstances, the applicant of the present application disclosed a compound represented by the following general formula in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 121266/1983. (In the above formula, R' represents an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.) The present invention provides a compound with improved properties, and its purpose is to provide a stable liquid crystal composition with excellent practical properties. The object of the present invention is to provide a compound useful as a constituent component. The present invention is based on the general formula (In the formula, R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.) Contains 4-(trans-4-alkyloxymethylcyclohexyl)benzoic acid 3-fluoro-4-cyanophenyl ester and the compound This is a liquid crystal composition characterized by: The compound provided by the present invention is a novel liquid crystal compound that has a large positive dielectric anisotropy value of about +40, has a wide liquid crystal temperature range, and has a high clearing point and excellent stability. The compound according to the present invention has excellent compatibility with other P-type or N-type liquid crystals such as Schiff base type, azoxy type, benzoic acid phenyl ester type,
Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid phenyl ester,
By mixing with one type of liquid crystal system such as cyclohexyl esteth cyclohexanecarboxylate, biphenyl, phenylcyclohexane, phenylmetadioxane, or phenylpyrimidine, or with a mixture of several types, the viscosity can be significantly increased. It increases the clearing point of the obtained liquid crystal composition without raising it, and is useful as a so-called high-temperature liquid crystal component. The compound of the present invention is useful as a component of a liquid crystal composition that lowers the driving voltage of a liquid crystal display element. The compound of the present invention can be produced by the following reaction. That is, by reacting 4-(trans-4-alkyloxymethylcyclohexyl)benzoic acid chloride () and 3-fluoro-4-cyanophenol in the presence of pyridine, the desired ester compound () can be obtained. The 4-(trans-4-alkyloxymethylcyclohexyl)benzoic acid chloride used here can be synthesized by the method described in JP-A-58-131942. 3-Fluoro-4-cyanophenol is obtained by dehydrating 2-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde oxime with acetic anhydride.
It can then be produced by hydrolysis using, for example, an alkali. This is shown in the reaction equation Hereinafter, the method for producing the compound of the present invention and its uses will be explained in detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 Production of 4-(trans-4-methyloxymethylcyclohexyl)benzoic acid 3-fluoro-4-cyanophenyl ester 1.5 g of 3-fluoro-4-cyanophenol
(11 mmol) was dissolved in 5 ml of dry pyridine, and 2.7 g of 4-(trans-4-methyloxymethylcyclohexyl)benzoic acid chloride was dissolved in 5 ml of dry pyridine.
A solution of (11 mmol) dissolved in 10 ml of dry toluene was added, and the mixture was reacted by heating at 60°C for 3 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction product was poured into 100 ml of water, and the toluene layer was separated and washed with 6N hydrochloric acid, 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and then water, and then the toluene layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Toluene was distilled off from the toluene layer, and the remaining solid was recrystallized from 8 ml of ethanol to obtain the desired 4-(trans-4
-Methyloxymethylcyclohexyl)benzoic acid 3-fluoro-4-cyanophenyl ester 2.7
