Popis: The synthetic protocols for symmetrical/unsymmetrical 3,6-disubstituted 1,1,2,2-tetrafluorocyclohexane molecules were successfully established for the first time. Some of thus obtained tetrafluorinated cyclohexanes underwent recrystallization to afford trans-configured products preferentially. One of the unsymmetrical trans-disubstituted tetrafluorocyclohexanes, trans-1-ethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-4-[4-(trans-4-n-propylcyclohex-1-yl)phenyl]cyclohexane, was found to possess a low birefringence Δn (0.073) and a large negative dielectric anisotropy Δe (–9.4) in a binary mixture system, which were very prominent as characteristics of LC molecules in VA-mode driving LC displays.
