The present invention relates to a novel organic compound useful as a component of a liquid crystal composition, and more particularly to a compound that has good compatibility with a liquid crystal compound and has a viscosity-reducing effect. Liquid crystal display elements utilize the optical anisotropy and dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystal materials, and their display methods include TN type, DS type, guest-host type,
There are various types such as DAP type and White-Taylor type, and each type requires different properties of the liquid crystal material used. For example, depending on the type of display element, a liquid crystal material with a positive dielectric anisotropy Δε may be required, a material with a negative dielectric anisotropy may be required, or a material with an intermediate value may be suitable.
However, in any case, the liquid crystal material used exhibits a liquid crystal phase over a wide temperature range, and
It must be stable against heat, air, light, etc. At present, there is no single compound that satisfies all of these conditions, and the current state of affairs is to mix several types of liquid crystal compounds and non-liquid crystal compounds to obtain compounds that can withstand practical use. In general, liquid crystal compounds with arbitrary △ε values can be obtained by appropriately mixing those with positive △ε values and those with negative Δε values, but in this case, it is difficult to mix compounds with large absolute values of △ε values. Because crystals tend to come out, △
A compound having a small absolute value of ε value, low viscosity, and good compatibility is desired as a component constituting a practical liquid crystal composition. Although the compound of the present invention is itself a non-liquid crystal compound, it is a compound that satisfies the above-mentioned demands to some extent when used as a constituent component of a liquid crystal composition. That is, the present invention is based on the general formula (In the above formula, R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms) 4-(β-alkoxyethoxy)-
4'-Fluorobiphenyl. Although the compound of the present invention does not exhibit a liquid crystal phase but has a small dielectric anisotropy value of about +2, by adding it to a liquid crystal composite, it can reduce its viscosity to a certain extent and also lower its threshold voltage. It has the effect of Next, the method for producing the compound of the present invention will be described. It can be produced by reacting 4-fluoro-4'-hydroxybiphenyl and alkyl bromide ethyl ether with sodium hydroxide in ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. Shown as a chemical formula The compounds of the present invention will be explained in more detail below using Examples (manufacturing examples and application examples). Examples 1 to 4 [4-(β-alkoxyethoxy)-4′-fluorobiphenyl (in the formula (), R is CH 3 , C 2 H 5 ,
Production of C 3 H 7 , C 4 H 9 ) 4-fluoro-4'-hydroxybiphenyl 2.0
Dissolve g (0.0106 mol) in 30 ml of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, add 6 ml of 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and shake to obtain a homogeneous solution. Next, 0.016 mol of alkyl bromide ethyl ether was added, and the mixture was heated under reflux using a mantle heater for 3 hours. After the reaction, cool to room temperature, pour into 50ml of water,
Extract with 150ml of toluene. The toluene layer is washed with 6N hydrochloric acid and finally with 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, further washed with water until neutral, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the toluene is distilled off under reduced pressure. When the remaining oil is recrystallized with ethanol, the target product 4-(β-alkoxyethoxy)-
4′-fluorobiphenyl is obtained. The yield and physical property values are shown in Table 1.
