The present invention relates to novel liquid crystal materials having positive dielectric anisotropy, and more particularly to substituted biphenylyldioxanes. Liquid crystal materials exhibiting positive dielectric anisotropy are used in display elements that utilize their optical and dielectric anisotropy, that is, TN displays that apply the twisting effect and color liquid crystal display elements that apply the guest-host effect. has been done. Recently, as the development of applications for liquid crystals has progressed, various properties of liquid crystal materials have improved, such as those with a wide liquid crystal temperature range,
There is a need for something with fast response speed and something that can be driven at low voltage, and accordingly, research is actively being conducted on the development of new liquid crystal materials and on their combination with existing liquid crystal materials. The present inventors also searched for various compounds for the same purpose, and found that a substituted biphenylyldioxane compound having a fluorine atom is a characteristic liquid crystal material and a composition of a liquid crystal composition having excellent performance. We have discovered that it is extremely useful as a component, and have arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention is based on the general formula (R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms) 2-(4-fluoro-4'-bisenylyl)-5-alkyl-1,3-dioxane. The novel compound of formula () of the present invention has a dielectric constant anisotropy of 6 to 7, which is a relatively large positive value for a metadioxane compound, and has a wide liquid crystal temperature range and is on the high temperature side, so it is a high temperature liquid crystal component. Furthermore, its good compatibility makes it suitable for mixed use with other liquid crystals, and it also has a viscosity-reducing effect. The compounds of the present invention having such excellent features are 4-formyl-4'-fluorobiphenyl and 2-
It is obtained by reacting alkylpropanediols 1,3 in an organic solvent in the presence of an acidic catalyst. 4-formyl-4'-fluorobiphenyl, which is one of the raw materials, can be obtained, for example, by the following process. That is, first, 4-bromo-4'-aminobiphenyl is diazotized, then treated with borofluoric acid or sodium borofluoride to obtain the resulting crystals, which are thermally decomposed to form 4-bromo-4'-fluorobiphenyl. Obtain crystals. When this product is reacted with cuprous cyanide in a solvent of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 4-cyano-4'fluorobiphenyl is obtained. When this is reduced with, for example, lithium triethoxyaluminum hydride (EtO) 3 Li[AlH 4 ] in a tetrahydrofuran solvent, 4-formyl-4'-fluorobiphenyl can be obtained. Further, 2-alkylpropanediol 1,3, which is another raw material, can be obtained by the following process. Specifically, malonic acid diethyl ester is alkylated by reacting with an alkyl bromide in anhydrous alcohol in the presence of sodium ethylate, and this is reduced with lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran solvent to form 2-alkyl-propanediol 1,3. Obtainable. The manufacturing method and usage examples of the compound of the present invention will be explained in more detail below using Examples. Example 1 [2-(4-fluoro-4'-biphenyl)-5

Thereafter, the mixture was cooled to 2 to 4°C, and a solution of 21.3 g of nitrous acid dissolved in 90 ml of water was gradually added to diazotize the mixture. After reacting at 4 to 5°C for 1 hour, a mixed solution of 97 g of borofluoride and a caustic soda aqueous solution (18 g of caustic soda dissolved in 40 ml of water) prepared in advance was added dropwise and the mixture was heated at a temperature of 8°C or lower for 1 hour. Make it react. The resulting yellow crystals were separated, washed with cold water and cold ethanol, and dried in a desiccator to yield 93 g.

The toluene layers are combined and washed with 6N-HC1, 2N-NaOH, and water in this order, and then the toluene is distilled off. When the residue is recrystallized with ethanol, 15 g of 4-cyano-
4′-fluorobiphenyl is obtained. Next, 1.7 g of lithium aluminum hydride was added to 40 ml of dehydrated tetrahydrofuran in a nitrogen stream, stirred at room temperature for 50 minutes, cooled to 0°C, and 5.3 g of ethyl acid chloride was gradually added dropwise at a temperature ranging from 0°C to 5°C. Stir for 1 hour. Add 4-fluoro- to 15 ml of dehydrated tetrahydrofuran.
A solution containing 5.9 g of 4'-cyanobiphenyl was added dropwise and reacted at 32°C to 34°C for 90 minutes, then the temperature was returned to room temperature, and 40 ml of 5N sulfuric acid was added and stirred. The reaction solution separates into two layers, so extract the aqueous layer twice with 40 ml of benzene, add the extract to the tetrahydrofuran layer,
