The present invention relates to novel compounds as a component of liquid crystal mixtures and to liquid crystal compositions containing them. Liquid crystal display elements utilize the optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystal materials, and are divided into TN type (twisted nematic type), DS type (dynamic scattering type), and guest/host type depending on the display format. There are various types of liquid crystals, such as type and DAP type, and the properties of the liquid crystal materials suitable for each type of use are different. All liquid crystal materials have in common that they must be stable against moisture, air, heat, light, etc., and there is a demand for materials that exhibit a liquid crystal phase over as wide a temperature range as possible, centered around room temperature. However, at present, there is no single compound that has excellent properties such as liquid crystal temperature range, operating voltage, and response performance, and can be put to practical use. The resulting liquid crystal composition is used. In other words, in addition to the fact that the liquid crystal composition used in display elements has the above-mentioned liquid crystal phase in a wide temperature range including practical temperatures, it also has a low viscosity, a low operating threshold voltage, and can be driven with low power. In general, it is required to have high operational response speed. It is an object of the present invention to provide new compounds which can be added to liquid crystal materials to improve such desired properties of the liquid crystal compositions. The first aspect of the present invention is the general formula (In the formula, R represents a straight chain alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.) The second aspect of the present invention is a liquid crystal composition containing a fluoropyrimidine derivative represented by the above formula (). The compound provided by the present invention has a wide liquid crystal temperature range and has positive anisotropy of dielectric constant (△ε>0,
Δε=ε−ε⊥, where ε represents the dielectric constant along the long axis of the molecule, and ε⊥ represents the dielectric constant along the short axis of the molecule. )
is +20, which is larger than that of known fluorine-based liquid crystal substances, so the operating threshold voltage of liquid crystal compositions containing these compounds can be lowered. Although the compound provided by the present invention has a practical liquid crystal temperature range, since it has a high melting point, this compound alone is not practical for use in display devices. However, the compound of the present invention has a low viscosity for a three-ring liquid crystal substance, has excellent compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds, and has a high clearing point, so it cannot be used with other liquid crystal substances, such as Schiff base type, azoxy One type of liquid crystal, such as benzoic acid phenyl ester type, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid phenyl ester type, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid cyclohexyl ester type, biphenyl type, phenylcyclohexane type, phenylmetadioxane type, or several types of liquid crystals. It is useful as a high-temperature liquid crystal component that increases the clearing point when mixed with a mixture. Furthermore, this compound has a large refractive index anisotropy Δn of 0.24, and by using a small amount of this compound, various response characteristics can be improved, such as providing a display element with good contrast. The compound of the present invention having such excellent characteristics can be produced by the following reaction. First, substituted benzonitrile () is used as a starting material, and hydrogen chloride gas is reacted with it in a methyl alcohol solvent to obtain an imidoether hydrochloride derivative (). Next, the compound () is reacted with ammonia gas in a methyl alcohol solvent to obtain an amidine hydrochloride derivative (). This compound () and the acrolein derivative () are subjected to a condensation cyclization reaction in the presence of an appropriate base catalyst (e.g., metal alcoholate, sodium hydroxide, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]-7-undecene, etc.) to obtain the desired compound (). EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. Example 1 Preparation of 5-propyl-2-(4'-fluorobiphenyl-4)-pyrimidine 2.8 g (0.12 mol) in 20 ml of absolute methanol
of sodium methylate was stirred to dissolve 15.1 g (0.06 mol) of 4-(4'-fluorophenyl)benzamidine hydrochloride and
9.2 g (0.066 mol) of α-propyl-β-dimethylaminoacrolein was added. At this time, the reaction was continued under heating and reflux for 6 hours while stirring. After the reaction was completed, methanol was distilled off at normal pressure, and 20 ml of toluene was added to the residual liquid to extract the product. The extract was washed with water and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Toluene was distilled off, and the remaining solid was recrystallized from 10 ml of ethyl acetate solvent to obtain 10.9 g of the desired 5-propyl-2-(4'-fluorobiphenyl-4)pyrimidine. The transition temperature of this substance is C
-N point was 96.9°C, N-I point was 177.4°C, and the synthesis yield was 62%. Examples 2 to 6 α-alkyl-β-dimethyl having an ethyl group, butyl group, pentyl group, hexyl group, or heptyl group at the α-position, respectively, in place of α-propyl-β-dimethylaminoacrolein in Example 1 5-alkyl-2-(4'-fluorobiphenyl-4)-pyrimidine having each substituted alkyl group was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that aminoacrolein was used. These transition temperatures are shown in Table 1 together with the results of Example 1.
