The present invention relates to novel liquid crystal materials with positive dielectric anisotropy. 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 need to be stable against moisture, air, heat, light, etc., and they are also required to exhibit a liquid crystal phase over as wide a temperature range as possible, centered around room temperature. ing. 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, which has a particularly low viscosity and exhibits a liquid crystal phase over a wide temperature range. 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-chloro-4′-(trans-4″-
The present invention is a liquid crystal composition containing alkylcyclohexyl)biphenyl and at least one thereof. The compound of the present invention exhibits a liquid crystal phase between about 80 and 190°C and has a low viscosity, so a liquid crystal composition containing the compound of the present invention has a low viscosity and can improve display characteristics at low temperatures. . Furthermore, although the dielectric anisotropy of the present compound is about +2, the addition of the present compound tends to make the threshold voltage and saturation voltage of the liquid crystal composition the same or lower. Next, the method for producing the compound of the present invention will be described. First, 4-bromochlorobenzene and metallic magnesium are reacted to form 4-chlorophenylmagnesium bromide, which is then reacted with 4-(trans-4'-alkylcyclohexyl)cyclohexane. Te4
―[4′-(trans-4″-alkylcyclohexyl)cyclohexane-1′-ol]chlorobenzene. Next, this is dehydrated with potassium hydrogen sulfate to form 4-[4′-(trans-4″-alkylcyclohexyl) ) to obtain cyclohexene-1′-yl]chlorobenzene. Then, the desired 4-chloro-4′-(trans-4″-alkylcyclohexyl)biphenyl is obtained by a dehydrogenation reaction with chloranil.The chemical formula shown above is as follows: Hereinafter, the production method and usage examples of the compound of the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 [4-chloro-4′-(trans-4″-
Production of propylcyclohexyl)biphenyl] Put 1.2 g (0.049 mol) of magnesium turnings into a three-necked flask, and add 4-bromochlorobenzene.
Dissolve 9.4 g (0.049 mol) in tetrahydrofuran and add 25 ml of the solution to a reaction temperature of 30 to 35°C in a stream of N2 .
If you slowly drop the drops while keeping it at a certain temperature, it will react and 3
Over time, the magnesium dissolves and becomes homogeneous to form 4-chlorobenzene magnesium bromide. To this, 9.0 g (0.041 mol) of 4-(trans-4'-propylcyclohexyl)cyclohexanone was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran to make 50 ml.
Add dropwise as quickly as possible while maintaining the reaction temperature at 5-10°C. After dropping, the temperature was raised to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour.
Then add 100ml of 3N hydrochloric acid. The reaction solution is placed in a separator and extracted three times with 100 ml of toluene. The combined toluene layers are washed with saturated brine until the washings become neutral, and the toluene is distilled off under reduced pressure. The remaining oil is 4-[4'-(trans-4''-propylcyclohexyl)cyclohexene-1'-ol]chlorobenzene, which is treated with potassium hydrogen sulfate.
Add 2.0 g and dehydrate at 150°C in a N2 stream for 1 hour.
After cooling, add 200 ml of toluene, separate the potassium hydrogen sulfate, and wash the toluene layer with water until the washing liquid becomes neutral. Next, toluene is distilled off under reduced pressure, and the remaining oil is recrystallized from ethyl alcohol to obtain 4-[4'-(trans-4''-propylcyclohexyl)cyclohexen-1'-yl]chlorobenzene. Dissolve 4.8 g in 200 ml of xylene, add 8.2 g of chloranil, and reflux for 20 hours. Next, extract with 200 ml of toluene, wash it sequentially with a small amount of 6N hydrochloric acid and 2N sodium hydroxide,
Further wash with water until the washing liquid becomes neutral. The solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure and the crystalline product obtained by recrystallization with toluene is 4-chloro-4'-(trans-4''-propylcyclohexyl)biphenyl. Yield: 1.2 g.
Yield 25%, crystal-nematic point (C-N point)
155.4-159.0℃, nematic-clearing point (N-I
point) It was 196.9 to 197.0°C. Examples 2 and 3 4-chloro-4'-(trans-4''-pentylcyclohexyl)biphenyl, 4-chloro-4'-(trans-4''-heptyl) having other alkyl groups in the same manner as in Example 1 cyclohexyl)biphenyl was produced. Example 1 shows the yield, physical properties, etc.
The results are shown in Table 1.
