The present invention relates to compounds of the formula (I), in which Y represents an organosilicon radical; R" represents a divalent radical which connects the radical Y to the benzene ring via a chain of at least three atoms; X represents a radical of the formula -COOH, -CN, -CHO, -NH2 or -OH, in which it is possible to block the hydroxyl group with a protecting group; Z represents the same or different substi-tuents in the 2-, 3-, 5- or 6-position to the radical X, preferably hydrogen or halogen atoms; and p represents a value of 0 to 4; and the use of these and related compounds in the preparation of compounds having liquid-crystalline properties. |
