Abstract
The present invention relates to bistolans of the formula I where one or more of the radicals L1 to L3 denote an Rx, where Rx denotes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl, and the other parameters are as defined in Claim 1. The invention also encompasses liquid-crystalline media which comprise the title compounds, to components for high-frequency technology which comprise these media, in particular phase shifters and microwave array antennae.

Compounds of the formula I
- in which
- L1 to L3, independently of one another, denote F, Cl, C1- to C10-alkyl or a meaning in accordance with Rx, where one or more of the radicals L1 to L3 denote an Rx,
- n, o, p, independently of one another, denote 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4,
- Rx denotes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl,
- R1 and R2, independently of one another, denote H, a halogenated or unsubstituted alkyl radical having 1 to 15 C atoms, where, in addition, one or more CH2 groups in these radicals may each be replaced, independently of one another, by —C≡C—, —CH═CH—, —CF═CF—, —(CO)O—, —O(CO)—, —(CO)— or —O— in such a way that O atoms are not linked directly to one another, F, Cl, Br, CN, CF3, OCF3, SCN, NCS or SF5,
- A1 denotes
- a) trans-1,4-cyclohexylene or cyclohexenylene, in which, in addition, one or two non-adjacent CH2 groups may be replaced by —O— and/or —S— and in which H may be replaced by F,
- b) 1,4-phenylene, in which one or two CH groups may be replaced by N and in which, in addition, one or more H atoms may be replaced by Br, Cl, F, CN, Rx, C1-C10 alkyl, C1-C10 alkoxy or a mono-or polyfluorinated C1-C10 alkyl or alkoxy group,
- or
- c) a radical from the group 1,4-bicyclo[2.2.2]octylene, cyclobut-1,3-diyl, spiro[3.3]heptane-2,6-diyl, thiophene-2,5-diyl,
- in which one or more CH groups may be replaced by N, one or more H atoms may be replaced by Br, Cl, F, CN, Rx, C1-C10 alkyl, C1-C10 alkoxy or a mono- or polyfluorinated C1-C10 alkyl or alkoxy group,
- and one or more double bonds may be replaced by single bonds,
- Z1 denotes a single bond, —C≡C—, —CH═CH—, —CH2O—, —(CO)O—, —CF2O—, —CF2CF2—, —CH2CF2—, —CH2CH2—, —(CH2)4—, —CH═CF— or —CF═CF—, where asymmetrical bridges may be oriented to both sides, and
- m denotes 0, 1 or 2.
