Disclosed are compounds of the formula: <IMAGE> where R is alkyl or alkoxy and R1 is alkyl, alkoxy, cyano or nitro and where ring N is a benzene or saturated cyclohexane ring. The compounds of the invention are compatible and useful in admixture with the general classes of cyanophenyl dioxane and/or cyclohexyl dioxane type liquid crystalline compounds to provide a broad nematic temperature range mixture with advantageous electrooptical and other properties. Novel admixtures including preferably at least about 30 weight percent of the compounds of the invention are disclosed. Preferred admixtures also include at least about 30 weight percent of cyanophenyl dioxanes and at least about 20 weight percent of cyclohexyl dioxanes.
