EXAMPLE:4-Propynyloxyphenyl trans-4'-propylcyclohexanecarboxylate. USE:A component constructing nematic liquid crystal compositions used in liquid crystal display devices. PREPARATION:For example, hydroquinone expressed by formula II is reacted with a halogenoalkyne expressed by formula III in ethanol using sodium ethoxide to provide a 4-alkynyloxyphenol expressed by formula V, which is then esterified with a trans-4'-alkylcyclohexanecarbonyl chloride expressed by formula IV in chloroform using triethylamine to afford the objective ester compound expressed by formula I.

There are 15 types of liquid crystal display devices using nematic liquid crystal that utilize the electro-optic effect of the eye, including dynamic scattering type, guest-host type, twisted nematic type (TN type), and super twisted nematic type (STN type). It has been put into practical use,
Of these, the TN type has been most widely applied. However, it has been found that the TN type has a restriction on the number of display pixels, and the limit is approximately 200 in terms of the number of scanning lines. Therefore, STN type liquid crystal display devices have been developed and are being put into practical use as a display method to overcome this limit.

The ester compound represented by the following general formula, which has been widely used as a main component of liquid crystal compositions, is mainly used as a liquid crystal material for TN type liquid crystal display devices.
It was a very important component as R' (here, R3 and R4 represent an alkyl group, and the cyclohexane ring has a trans configuration). The advantages of this compound are that it has a wide nematic liquid crystal temperature range, allows high time-division driving when used in a time-division driving system, and is inexpensive to manufacture; however, its disadvantages include viscosity and low ratio The slow response speed and low birefringence (80°) can also be disadvantages.
