Compounds of the formula STR1 wherein ring B stands for 1,4-phenylene or a trans-1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane ring and A stands for a group with 1 to 3 six-membered rings, which together with ring B represents a central group of formulae II-XIII; R1 signifies a straight-chain alkyl group containing 1 to 9 carbon atoms or when R1 is attached to a benzene, monofluorinated benzene or pyrimidine, ring R1 also signifies a straight-chain alkoxy group with 1 to 9 carbon atoms; and R2 signifies hydrogen, cyano or a straight-chain alkyl group containing 1 to 7 carbon atoms, their manufacture, liquid crystalline mixtures which contain said compounds and their use for electro-optical purposes are described. The compounds of formula I are especially valuable as components in liquid crystal mixtures and for the most part themselves have liquid crystalline properties.
