PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel liquid crystal compound which is a 6-trifluoromethoxynaphthalene derivative which is excellent in liquid crystallinity, has low viscosity and good responsiveness, and can be used for an active matrix driving method. Provided are a liquid crystal composition containing the same and a liquid crystal element having the same as a constituent element. [Constitution] General formula (I) (R: C 1-20 alkyl group, alkoxyl group, etc. Ring A, ring B: independently trans-1,4-cyclohexylene group, 1,4-phenylene group which can be substituted by F atom, L and M: CH 2 CH 2 , single bond, etc., X 1 to X 3 : independently a liquid crystal compound represented by H atom or F atom) A liquid crystal composition containing the same, a liquid crystal device having the same as a constituent element, and a method for producing the compound. |
