Abstract

Liquid crystalline compounds superior in having an eminent dielectric anisotropy, being stable against environment and having improved miscibility with other liquid crystalline compounds, as well as a liquid crystal composition with driving-ability at a low voltage and responsibility at a high-speed comprising the compounds as a constituting component, and a liquid crystal display element comprising the composition are provided, said compounds are fluoroalkoxybenzene derivatives expressed by the general formula (1) wherein A1, A2 and A3 each independently denote trans-1,4-cyclohexylene,1,4-phenylene or so; B, B2 and B3 each independently denote a single bond, 1,2-ethylene or so; R denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms optionally substitutable with a halogen atom(s); Rf denotes a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon; k, m, and n each independently denote 0 or 1; with the proviso that when k=0 is a case, then one of B1, B2 and B3 is a methyleneoxy bond or so, and that when m+n≧1 is a case, then dependency of A1, A2 and A3 is partly restricted and content of Rf is partly limited when B1 or/and B2 and B3 are all single bonds.
