The invention relates to nematic liquid crystals in electro-optical components for the modulation of light as well as for the representation of numerals, signs and images and to a method for producing the same. It is the object of the invention to create nematic liquid crystals which are well suited for electro-optical devices, preferably for two-frequency operation. It has been found that pure or mixed 2-n-alkyl-1, 4-bis-[4-acyloxy]-benzenes of the general formula <IMAGE> wherein R3=n-CmH2m+1, with m=3 to 14, are well suited for utilization in electro-optical components. It was found that 2-n-alkyl-1,4-bis-[acyloxy]-benzene which is well suited for electro-optical components, and especially for two-frequency operations, can be produced by the conversion of a correspondingly substituted benzoic acid or cyclohexane carboxylic acid or a reaction-capable derivative thereof with the corresponding 2-n-alkylhydroquinone-also in the form of its phenylate-at a temperature ranging from 0 DEG C. to 250 DEG C., possibly in the presence of an inert solvent.
