This invention provides a novel alkanoyl ester compound represented by general formula (I):
(wherein A is of -,
B is
ℓ and m are 1 or 2 provided that both are not simultaneously 2, k and n are an integer of 1 or more, respectively, provided that k>n, and R is an alkyl group), a liquid crystal composition containing this compound, a novel alkanoylphenyl compound or a novel alkanoylbiphenyl compound as an intermediate for the production of the above compound, and a method of producing the same. These novel alkanoyl ester compounds are excellent in the stability against light and the like and can take a liquid crystal state at a wide temperature range. Particularly, these compounds form liquid crystals of ferroelectricity having a large spontaneous polarization and a fast response rate by introducing an optically active group into the compound, so that they develop a very excellent effect as a starting material for optoelectronics and its related elements.
本发明提供了通式(I)代表的新型烷酰基酯化合物:
(其中 A 为-、
B为
ℓ和m为1或2,条件是两者不同时为2,k和n分别为1或1以上的整数,条件是k>n,R为烷基)、含有该化合物的液晶组合物、作为生产上述化合物的中间体的新型烷酰基苯基化合物或新型烷酰基联苯化合物,以及生产上述化合物的方法。这些新型烷酰基酯化合物具有极佳的耐光等稳定性,可在很宽的温度范围内形成液晶状态。特别是,这些化合物通过引入光学活性基团,形成了自发极化大、响应速度快的铁电性液晶,因此,作为光电子学及其相关元件的起始材料,具有非常优异的效果。
