Abstract

NEW MATERIAL:A liquid crystal ester compound of formula I (R<1> and R<2> are straight chain or branched 1-15C alkyl or alkoxy; ring A is group of formula II, III or IV, etc.). EXAMPLE:3-Allyl-4-pentyloxybiphenylyl-4'-carboxylic acid pentyloxyphenyl ester. USE:Useful as a component for liquid crystal compositions. Since the ester compound of formula I has good compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds such as esters, Shiff's bases, biphenyls or phenylcyclohexanes, the addition of the compound of formula I in a small amount raises the N-1 point of the prepared liquid crystal. The compound of formula I can enlarge the value of K2/K1, thereby suitable for providing liquid crystals for STN type display elements. PREPARATION:The compound of formula VII as a starting raw material is subjected to several processes including the synthesis of a compound of formula VIII by a Claisen reaction to provide the compound of formula I.
