(Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides a liquid crystal compound, particularly a phenylpyridazine compound in which an alkyl group having an asymmetric carbon atom is substituted with a phenyl group via an oxygen atom. These compounds are used to make various display devices that take advantage of their electro-optical properties. (Prior art) Regarding liquid crystal compounds having a phenylpyridazine skeleton, compounds in which an alkoxy group is substituted at the 3-position of the pyridazine ring and an alkoxy group is substituted at the 4-position of the benzene ring which is substituted at the 6-position are smectic C It is known as a liquid crystal material with phases. (Z.,
Chem., vol. 17, 334 (1977)), and also has a phenylpyridazine skeleton, with 2-
To provide a composition exhibiting an Sc phase when two or more compounds substituted with methylbutyloxy or 1-methylheptyloxy and substituted with a linear alkyl or alkoxy group at the 4-position of the benzene ring are mixed. It has been reported that the temperature at which the Sc phase takes place is quite high, over 50°C (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-22361).
Furthermore, in the same phenylpyridazine skeleton, compounds in which an optically active alkoxy group is substituted at the 3-position of the pyridazine ring and hexyloxy, octyloxy, etc. are substituted at the 4-position of the benzene ring are said to have no intermediate phase. It is also known that (Mol.
Cryst.Liq.Cryst., Vol.25, 1986) As mentioned above, it is no exaggeration to say that the relationship between the chemical structure and performance of liquid crystal compounds is hardly clear. It is difficult to define the performance of compounds. Even under such circumstances, efforts are being made to create new compounds, investigate their performance, and discover even better ones. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention provides novel liquid crystal compounds that have a ferroelectric chiral smectic phase by themselves, or which do not have a ferroelectric chiral smectic phase by themselves but have a chiral dopant. The present invention provides a novel compound that is useful as a compound. (Means for solving the problems) The compound provided by the present invention is synthesized as follows.

[C] (R' is a group that can be left off later, such as methyl, benzyl, anisyl, benzoyl, acetyl, etc.)
(R 2 is a straight-chain alkyl group, R * is an alkyl group with an asymmetric carbon) The Friedel-Crafts reaction uses aluminum chloride,
It is carried out in a solvent such as dichloroethane, trichloroethane, chloroform, etc. using a catalyst such as borax trifluoride. Next, aliphatic linear aldehydes such as pentanal, hexanal, peptanal, octanal, nonanal, and decanal are reacted. The reaction is carried out using sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate and an amine and 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazolyl onium (eg, alkyl halide, benzyl halide, etc.) in alcohol. After reacting the obtained compound with a diamine, it is dehydrogenated, and R' is eliminated by an appropriate method depending on the type of R' (for example, hydrogen bromide-acetic acid, hydrolysis, hydrolysis, etc.). The thus obtained compound represented by the formula and optically active 2-methylbutyl alcohol, 3-methylpentyl alcohol, 4-methylhexyl alcohol, 5-methylheptyl alcohol, and 6-methyloctyl alcohol having an asymmetric carbon atom in the molecule , 7-methylnonyl alcohol, 8-methyldecanyl alcohol, 9-methylundecanyl alcohol, 1-methylheptyl alcohol, 2-
Dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, benzene, toluene, dichloroethane, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, etc. can be obtained by converting methyloctyl alcohol etc. into the corresponding halide, or by reacting with toluenesulfonyl chloride or methanesulfonyl chloride to convert it into a sulfonic acid ester. The reaction is carried out using an alkali metal such as sodium hydride, sodium amide, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc. in an appropriate solvent. The compounds provided by the present invention are thus obtained. The resulting compound itself has a chiral smectic C (SmC * ) phase, or
SmC does not have a * phase and when used as a doping material, it can be used as a ferroelectric chiral smectic liquid crystal material because it can be used as a chiral dopant in another liquid crystal material. be done. (Examples) The present invention will be explained in more detail by describing examples below. Example 1 Synthesis of (S)-3-hexyl-6-(4-(6-methyloctyloxy)phenyl)pyridazine: 186 mg of sodium hydride (60%) was added to dimethylformamide, then 4-(6-hexyl 1.66 g of -3-pyridazinyl)phenol was added. After stirring for 30 minutes, 1.93 g of (S)-6-methyloctanol tosylate dissolved in 2 ml of dimethylformamide was added dropwise. The reaction was carried out at 80°C for 8 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was poured into ice water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting reaction product was purified by silica gel column chromatography and recrystallization to obtain the title compound. Yield: 0.8 g [a] 25 D +4.25 (C, 2.035 chloroform) IR spectrum
