The invention provides a liquid crystal compound having the stability to heat, light or the like, a wide temperature range of a nematic phase, a small viscosity, a large optical anisotropy, a suitable elastic constant K3 3, a large negative dielectric anisotropy and an excellent compatibility with other liquid crystal compounds. The invention also provides a liquid crystal composition including this compound and a liquid crystal display device containing this composition. A liquid crystal compound represented by formula (1-1). For example, R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, alkyl having 1 to 10 carbons, alkenyl having 2 to 10 carbons, alkoxy having 1 to 9 carbons, alkoxyalkyl having 2 to 9 carbons or alkenyloxy having 2 to 9 carbons; the ring A1 is trans-1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,4-cyclohexenylene, 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl, pyrimidine-2,5-diyl or pyridine-2, 5-diyl; L1 and L2 are independently hydrogen or fluorine, and at least one of them is fluorine; and Z1 , Z2 and Z3 are independently a single bond, -(CH2)2-, -CH=CH-, -C≡C-, -CH2O-, -OCH2-, -COO- or -OCO-.
