There is a guest-host type cell proposed by [O.F. APPLIED PHYSICS 45 , 4718 (1974)]. The current mainstream among these liquid crystal display cells is a TN cell, which is a type of field effect cell. In this TN type cell, as reported by G.Bauer in Mol.Cryst.Liq.Cryst. 63 45 (1981), interference fringes occur on the cell surface, which impairs the appearance of the cell. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to set the product of the refractive index anisotropy (Δn) of the liquid crystal material filled in the cell and the cell thickness (d) μm to a certain value. In the liquid crystal display cell used practically,
The value of Δn·d is set to 0.5, 1.0, 1.6, or 2.2. Since the value of Δn·d is thus set to a constant value, the value of d can be made small by using a liquid crystal material with a large value of Δn. As the value of d becomes small, the response time (τ) becomes small according to the well-known relation τ∝d 2 . Therefore, a liquid crystal material with a large value of Δn is an extremely important material for producing a liquid crystal display cell that has a fast response speed and is free from interference fringes. On the other hand, most of the liquid crystal materials that can be used for practical purposes are usually prepared by mixing several or more components consisting of a compound that has a nematic phase near room temperature and a compound that has a nematic phase above room temperature. be done. Many of the above-mentioned mixed liquid crystals currently in practical use are required to have a nematic phase over the entire temperature range of -30°C to +65°C, but the variety of applied products for liquid crystal display cells is With the
There is a demand for liquid crystal materials that extend the nematic liquid crystal temperature range to higher temperatures, and for this reason, nematic liquid crystal compounds with a particularly high nematic phase-isotropic liquid phase (N-) transition temperature are required recently. . The compound of formula () according to the present invention has a large Δn
It is a novel nematic liquid crystal compound with a high N-transition temperature. Therefore, by mixing the compound of formula () with various parent liquid crystals, a practical mixed liquid crystal material having a large Δn and a high N-1 transition temperature can be prepared. The compound of formula () according to the present invention can be produced according to the following production method. the below described()~
R and R' in each formula () have the same meaning as R and R' in the formula (), respectively. Step 1 - A compound of formula () is prepared by reacting trans-4-n-alkyl-1-phenylcyclohexane with anhydrous aluminum chloride in carbon disulfide or nitrobenzene. Second step - The compound of formula () produced in the first step is reacted with a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride in anhydrous ether or anhydrous THF to produce a compound of formula (). Third step - A dehydrating agent such as potassium hydrogen sulfate is added to the compound of formula () produced in the second step, and the compound is heated and dehydrated to produce the compound of formula (). Fourth step - Bromine is added to the compound of formula () produced in the third step in a solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, or 1,1,2-trichloroethane to produce a compound of formula (). Step 5 - reacting the compound of formula () prepared in step 4 with a base such as 1,5-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undecene-5 in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide; formula()
