Abstract
Abstract Disclosed are compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms and X is a dioxane, cyclohexane, or benzene ring. The compounds of the invention are suitable as liquid crystal materials in electrooptical displays. Specifically, when added to nematic liquid crystals, these compounds provide an increase in the positive dielectric anisotropy of the liquid crystal composition.
