PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogenated naphthalene derivative useful as a liquid crystal production intermediate and a method for producing the same, and further to use the same to have a decahydronaphthalene structure or a tetrahydronaphthalene structure. It is to provide an advantageous method for producing a liquid crystal compound. SOLUTION: General formula (I) (R: an alkyl group or alkoxyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group, an alkenyloxy group, an alkynyl group or an alkynyloxy group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, n: 0 to 2, L: providing hydrogenated naphthalene derivatives represented by —CH 2 CH 2 —, —CH (CH 3 ) CH 2 —, —CH 2 CH (CH 3 ) — and the like, and a process for producing them Also provide. |
