Liquid crystal display elements utilize the optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystal materials, and depending on the display format, there are TN type (twisted nematic type), DS type (dynamic scattering type), and guest type. There are various types such as host type and DAP type, and the properties of the liquid crystal materials suitable for each type of use are different. However, all liquid crystal materials have in common that they need to be stable against moisture, air, heat, light, etc., and they are also required to exhibit a liquid crystal phase over as wide a temperature range as possible, centered around room temperature. ing. However, at present, there is no single compound that satisfies these conditions, and the current situation is to use liquid crystal compositions obtained by mixing several types of liquid crystal compounds and non-liquid crystal compounds. Especially recently-
There has been a growing demand for liquid crystal display elements that operate over a wide temperature range of 20 to 80 degrees Celsius. In order to satisfy such requirements, an effective means is to lower the viscosity, especially the viscosity at low temperatures. However, in general, those with a high clearing point (NI point) have a high viscosity, and those with a low viscosity, such as alkylphenylcyclohexane derivatives, have a low clearing point. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high N-I that meets such requirements.
An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal compound having a dot and a low viscosity.

After dropping, the temperature was raised to 35°C, stirred for 30 minutes, and then 50 ml of 3N hydrochloric acid was added. The reaction solution is placed in a separatory funnel and extracted three times with 200 ml of toluene. The combined toluene layers are washed with water until the washings become neutral, and the toluene is distilled off under reduced pressure. The remaining oil is 3,4-dichloro-1-
