Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to novel phenylcyclohexanes of the formula I ##STR1## in which Q is CH--Hal or C--Hal 2 where Hal is F or Cl, n is 1 to 5, r is 0 to 6, A is a single bond, ##STR2## X is F, Cl, --CF 3 , --OCF 3 or --OCHF 2 , and Y and Z are each, independently of one another, H or F.
