Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the title compound useful as a material for liquid crystal display elements. CONSTITUTION:The objective compound of formula I (R<1> and R<2> are each 1-16C alkyl or alkoxyl; ring A 1,4-phenylene or trans-1,4-cyclohexylene; m is 0 or 1; n is 1 or 2), e.g. 1,1-difluoro-2-(4-octyloxyphenyl)-1-[4-(4-octyloxyphenyl) phenyl] ethane. The present compound can be obtained by reaction of a dithiane derivative of formula II with a benzyl halide derivative of formula III in the presence of a strong base into a compound of formula IV, which is then reacted with a fluorinating agent such as tetrabutylammonium dihydrotrifluoride in the presence of an oxidizing agent (e.g. N-iodosuccinimide). The present compound can effectively reduce the birefringence anisotropy of nematic liquid crystal compositions; therefore, expanding the working temperature range without impairing the responsiveness of ferroelectric liquid crystals.
