Cyclohexane derivatives

Abstract

Abstract Cyclohexane derivatives of formula I R.sup.1 --(A.sup.1).sub.m --Z.sup.1 --A--Z.sup.2 --(A.sup.2).sub.n --R 2 (I) wherein R 1 and R 2 are each H, an alkyl group which has 1-10 C atoms and in which one or two CH 2 groups can also be replaced by 0 atoms, F, Cl, Br, CN or --O--COR, A 1 and A 2 are each 1,4-phenylene, 1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl, piperidine-1,4-diyl, 1,4-bicyclo(2,2,2)-octylene or pyrimidine-2,5-diyl groups which are unsubstituted or substituted by 1-4 F atoms, A is a 1,4-cyclohexylene group which is substituted in the 1-position and/or 4-position by alkyl, alkoxy, fluorinated alkyl or fluorinated alkoxy, each of which has 1-5 C atoms, F, Cl, Br and/or CN and which can also carry 1 or 2 further F, Cl or Br atoms and/or CN groups, Z 1 and Z 2 are each --CO--O--, --O--CO--, --CH 2 CH 2 --, --OCH 2 --, --CH 2 O-- or a single bond, R is an alkyl group which has 1-5 C atoms, m is 1 or 2 and n is 0 or 1, it being possible, where m=2, for the two groups A 1 to be identical or different from one another; and the acid addition salts of those compounds which are basic, are suitable for use as components of liquid-crystal dielectrics.
