Three compounds with the R-X-Y-CF3 structure were synthesized where X is a trans cyclohexil ring.Y is a benzene ring and R is an alkyl group.The structure assignments were confirmed by carbon 13NMR and the compounds were purified by preparative liquid chromatography.The separation of cis and trans isomers of 1-p-trifluorophenyl-4-alkyl-cyclohexanol is also discussed.Although these compounds do not have a liquid crystalline phase themselves, a liquid crystal mixture containing them shows a much faster turn off speed than materials without them.Keywords: benzotrifluoride, trifluoromethyl, time response, TN cell
