Novel liquid crystal compounds having a difluoromethyleneoxy group as a linkage group have been prepared by the new synthetic method using dibromo-difluoromethane in good yield, from the results of physical property measurements; i.e., transition temperature, dielectric anisotropy (Δε), birefringence (Δn) and viscosity, it becomes obvious that the derivatives having 3,5-Difluorophenyl group at the carbon side of difluoromethyleneoxy group (1) have high dielectric anisotropy and low viscosity, and the derivatives having 1,4-cyclohexylene group at the carbon side of difluoromethyleneoxy group (2) have good balance of their physical properties. Moreover, 1 and 2 indicate high voltage holding ratio. Therefore, a novel series of the compounds having a difluoromethyleneoxy linkage group is an eminently suitable material that can lower driving voltage and achieve quicker response time of the AM-LCDs.

The present invention provides a difluoromethyl ether derivative which shows various suitable physical properties as a liquid crystal compound, a liquid crystal composition comprising the compound and a liquid crystal display element containing the composition, and also provides a simple and efficient process for producing the difluoromethyl ether derivative. According to the present invention, the process for producing a difluoromethyl ether derivative represented by Formula (1d):wherein R1 and R2 each independently represent hydrogen, halogen, a cyano group or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, in which at least one -CH2- may be substituted with -O-, -S-, -CH=CH- or -C≡C- but -O- is not adjacent to another -O-, and in which any hydrogen may be substituted with fluorine;rings A1, A2, A3 and A4 each independently represent a 1,4-cyclohexylene group in which at least one -CH2- may be substituted with -O- or -S-, or a 1,4-phenylene group in which at least one="CH- may be substituted" with =N- and at least one hydrogen on the ring may be substituted with fluorine, a cyano group or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms;Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4 each independently represent a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, in which at least one -CH2- may be substituted with -O-, -S-, -CH=CH- or -C≡C- but -O- is not adjacent to another -O-, and in which any hydrogen may be substituted with fluorine;Y1, Y2, Y3 and Y4 each independently represent hydrogen, halogen, a cyano group or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; andk, l, m and n each independently represent 0 or 1; is characterized by using an α,α-difluorocyclohexylidene derivative represented by Formula (1a):wherein R1, rings A1 and A2, Z1, Z2, k and 1 have the same meanings as defined above; as a starting material.
