The present invention relates to a novel low-viscosity liquid crystal compound that has positive dielectric anisotropy and exhibits a liquid crystal phase over a wide temperature range, and a liquid crystal composition containing the same. Liquid crystal display elements utilize optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy, which are the characteristics of liquid crystal materials, and their display method is TN type (twisted nematic type) DS.
There are various types such as dynamic scattering type (dynamic scattering type), guest-host type, and DAP type, and each type requires different properties of the liquid crystal material used. However, in any case, the liquid crystal materials used in these materials must exhibit a liquid crystal phase over as wide a temperature range as possible, and must be stable against moisture, heat, air, light, and the like. However, at present, there is no single compound that satisfies these conditions, and the current situation is to obtain something that can be put to practical use by mixing several types of liquid crystal compounds and non-liquid crystal compounds. Furthermore, depending on the type of display element, the dielectric anisotropy △ε may need to be positive, negative, or somewhere in between; any △
A liquid crystal mixture having a value of ε can be obtained by appropriately mixing one having a positive value of Δε and one having a negative value of Δε. However, when mixing compounds with positive and negative values of △ε, compounds with large absolute values of △ε are difficult to mix and crystals are likely to form, so compounds with small absolute values of △ε, Furthermore, compounds with low viscosity and good compatibility have been desired as components constituting liquid crystal compositions. The compounds of the present invention meet these needs to some extent. That is, the present invention is based on the general formula (In the above formula, R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms) 4-α,α,α-trifluorobenzoic acid-4-(trans-4'-alkylcyclohexyl) phenyl ester and its This is a liquid crystal composition containing. The compound of the present invention is a low-viscosity compound with a Δε of about +3 and exhibits a liquid crystal phase over a wide temperature range. Further, the compound of the present invention has a small optical anisotropy of about 0.06. Next, a method for producing the compound of the present invention will be described. The desired 4-α,α,α-trifluorobenzoic acid 4-
(trans-4'-alkylcyclohexyl)phenyl ester was prepared. Showing this as a chemical formula: (R in the above formula represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms) The following will be described in more detail with reference to Examples and Application Examples. Example 1 [4-α,α,α-trifluorobenzoic acid-4
-(trans-4'-propylcyclohexyl)
Production of phenyl ester] 4-(trans-4'-propylcyclohexyl)
2.2 g (0.01 mol) of phenol is dissolved in 50 ml of pyridine, 2.1 g (0.01 mol) of 4-α,α,α-trifluorobenzoic acid chloride is added thereto, stirred well, and left overnight. Add 100 ml of toluene and wash the toluene layer with 6NHCl, then with 2N NaOH solution, and then with water until neutral. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, toluene is distilled off under reduced pressure, and the remaining crystals are recrystallized from ethanol to obtain the desired 4-α,α,α-trifluorobenzoic acid-4-(trans-4′-propylcyclohexyl). A phenyl ester was obtained. Yield 2.2g,
The yield was 56%, and the C-Sm point was 142.4°C, the Sm-N point was 155.2°C, and the N-I point was 161.7°C. In the same manner, 0.01 mole of 4-(trans-4'-alkylcyclohexyl)phenol having another alkyl group was used instead of 4-(trans-4'-propylcyclohexyl)phenol, and the other operations were performed in exactly the same manner. A compound of the formula () shown in Table 1 was produced. These results are shown in Table 1.
