The present invention relates to novel compounds that exhibit a liquid crystal phase and have low viscosity. Liquid crystal display elements utilize the optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystal materials, and depending on the display format, there are TN type (twisted nematic type), DS type (dynamic scattering type), and guest type. There are various types such as host type and DAP type, and the properties of the liquid crystal materials suitable for each type of use are different. However, all liquid crystal materials have in common that they must be stable against moisture, air, heat, light, etc., and they must exhibit a liquid crystal phase over as wide a temperature range as possible, centering on room temperature. It is necessary to have an optimum dielectric anisotropy value (Δε) that differs depending on the type of material. However, at present, there is no single compound that satisfies these conditions, and the current situation is to use liquid crystal compositions obtained by mixing several types of liquid crystal compounds and non-liquid crystal compounds. An object of the present invention is to provide a novel liquid crystal compound useful as a component of such a liquid crystal composition, and particularly suitable for adjusting the Δε value. That is, the present invention is based on the general formula (In the above formula, n is 1 or 2, R is a carbon number of 1 to 10
This is a liquid crystal composition characterized by containing trans-4-substituted cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 2-halogeno-4-chlorophenyl ester represented by the alkyl group (X represents F or Cl) and at least one thereof. The compound of the present invention has a small Δε of -0.1 and a low viscosity, and by adding it to a liquid crystal composition, it is possible to lower the threshold voltage and saturation voltage of the original liquid crystal composition. Furthermore, compounds with n=1 in formula () exhibit a nematic liquid crystal phase near room temperature, and compounds with n=2 exhibit a nematic liquid crystal phase over a wide range up to high temperatures. It is effective for Next, a method for producing the compound of the present invention will be described. First, trans-4-substituted cyclohexanecarboxylic acid corresponding to the target product is reacted with thionyl chloride to form trans-4-substituted cyclohexanecarboxylic acid chloride, and then 2-halogeno-4- in the presence of pyridine.
React with chlorophenol to obtain the desired compound. Showing this as a chemical formula: (In the above formula, n, R, and X are the same as above.) Hereinafter, the manufacturing method and usage examples of the compound of the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 [Production of trans-4-(trans-4'-ethylcyclohexyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 2-fluoro-4-chlorophenyl ester] 2.4 g of trans-4-(trans-4'-ethylcyclohexyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid
(0.01 mol) and 10 ml of thionyl chloride are placed in a flask and heated to 50°C. It becomes uniform in 3 hours. Excess thionyl chloride is distilled off under reduced pressure. The remaining oil is trans-4-(trans-4'-ethylcyclohexyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid chloride. On the other hand, 1.5 g (0.01 mol) of 2-fluoro-4-chlorophenol was dissolved in 10 ml of pyridine, and then the acid chloride obtained earlier was added, followed by 100 ml of dry toluene, mixed well, and left overnight. Pour the reaction solution into water and wash with 6N hydrochloric acid, 2N sodium hydroxide, and then water until neutral. The toluene layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered, and the toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure. The remaining oil was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain the desired trans-4-(trans-4'-ethylcyclohexyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 2-fluoro-4-chlorophenyl ester. Yield 1.8g, yield 49%.
