TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Compound: 2,6-aryl amino anthracene-type compound (I) is preferably a compound of formula (II).R1-R6=same as defined above; andR7 and R8=same as R1-R6, preferably (un)substituted phenyl group.Benzene ring and anthracene ring of compound (II) optionally have another substituent in addition to amino group except for R7 and R8. The substituent contained in addition to R7 and R8 in compound (II), is chosen from halogen atom, (un)substituted (alkyl group, alkoxy group, aromatic hydrocarbon group, aromatic heterocyclic group and aryloxy group).Preferred Property: 2,6-aryl amino anthracene-type compound has ionization potential of 5.3 eV or less.Preferred Structure: The organic electroluminescent element consists of the layer containing 2,6-aryl amino anthracene-type compound preferably between anode (2) and organic light-emitting layer. SPECIFIC COMPOUNDS - 72 compounds (II) such as 2,6-bis(N-(4-diphenyl amino) phenyl-N-phenyl) amino-9,10-diphenyl anthracene of formula (A-1), compounds of formulae ((A-69) and (A-72) are disclosed.    EXAMPLE - 9,10-diphenyl anthracene (in g) (8.58) and N-bromo succinimide (23.13) were added with N,N-dimethylformamide (177 mL). The contents were reacted at 80 degrees C under nitrogen for 36.5 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, washed with acetone, and 2,6-dibromo-9,10-diphenyl anthracene (5.18) of formula (i) was obtained with yield of 41%. 2,6-dibromo-9,10-diphenyl anthracene (1.21), N,N,N'-triphenyl-1,4-phenylene diamine (2.01) and sodium tertiary butoxide (0.7) were added with o-xylene (11 mL), and the contents were heated at 60 degrees C under nitrogen. o-xylene solution (2 mL) containing tris(dibenzylidene acetone) dipalladium (O)-chloroform adduct (0.02) and tertiary butyl phosphine (0.17) was added with the heated contents, and the contents were reacted at 120 degrees C for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with water and acetone sequentially, and 2,6-bis(N-(4-diphenyl amino) phenyl-N-phenyl) amino-9,10-diphenyl anthracene (0.83) of formula (A-1) was obtained with yield of 33%. The anthracene compound (A-1) had glass transition temperature of 135 degrees C, melting point of 350 degrees C, crystallization temperature of 235 degrees C and ionization potential of 4.95 eV. A hole-carrying layer consisting of anthracene compound (A-1), was formed. An organic electroluminescent element was formed by sequentially providing an anode, hole-carrying layer, light-emitting layer and cathode on a substrate. The organic electroluminescent element had excellent luminescence.
