Tetrahydropyran compounds of the formula I
- in which
- R1 and X1 denote H, an unsubstituted or mono- or poly-halogen-substituted alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 15 carbon atoms or alkenyl or alkenyloxy radical having 2 to 15 carbon atoms, where, in addition, one or more CH2 groups in these radicals may each, independently of one another, be replaced by —C≡C—, —CH═CH—, —CF═CF—, —O—, —(CO)O— or —O(CO)— in such a way that O atoms are not linked directly to one another;
- or one of the radicals R1 and X1 also denotes F, Cl, CN, NCS or SF5,
- rings A1 and A2, independently of one another,
- denote 1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,4-cyclohexenylene or 1,4-cyclohexadienylene, which are unsubstituted or substituted by 1 to 3 F,
- L1 and L2, independently of one another, denote H or F,
- m denotes 0 or 1, and
- n denotes 1, 2 or 3,
- where
- m+n is ≦2.
