TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Compound: The organic thin film layer further contains anthracene derivative of formula (V).Ar11,Ar12=condensed-ring 5-50C monocyclic or 8-50C monocyclic group (both optionally substituted);andR101-R108=H, Ar1, or 1-50C alkyl, 3-50C cycloalkyl, 1-50C alkoxy, 7-50C aralkyl, 6-50C aryloxy, silyl (all optionally substituted), halo or cyano. Preferred Definitions:    Ar1,Ar4=phenyl (optionally substituted by 1-20C alkyl, silyl or 3-20C cycloalkyl);    Ar2,Ar3=phenyl optionally substituted by cyano;and    Ar5-Ar7=optionally substituted phenylene, naphthylene, biphenylene or fluorenylene.    SPECIFIC COMPOUNDS - 60 Aromatic amine compounds are disclosed, e.g. 4-((4-((E)-2-(7-((4-cyanophenyl)(4-trimethylsilylphenyl)amino)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)ethenyl)phenyl)(4-trimethylsilylphenyl)amino)benzonitrile of formula (A), 4-((4-((E)-2-(4-((E)-2-(4-((4-cyanophenyl)(4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)amino)phenyl)ethenyl)phenyl)ethenyl)phenyl)(4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)amino)benzonitrile, 4-((7-((E)-2-(7-((4-cyanophenyl)(4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)amino)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)ethenyl)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)(phenyl)amino)benzonitrile, 4-((6-((E)-2-(4,8-dimethyl-6-((4-methylphenyl)(4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)amino)naphthalen-2-yl)ethenyl)-4,8-dimethylnaphthalen-2-yl)(4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)amino)benzonitrile and 4-((4-((E)-2-(7-((4-cyanophenyl)(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amino)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)ethenyl)phenyl)(4-ethylphenyl)amino)benzonitrile.    EXAMPLE - (In g) 4-((4-trimethylsilylphenyl)amino)benzonitrile (14.1) and 2-bromo-7-((E)-2-(4-bromophenyl)vinyl)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluorene (10.0) were reacted in presence of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) and tris(t-butyl)phosphine to obtain 4-((4-((E)-2-(7-((4-cyanophenyl)(4-trimethylsilylphenyl)amino)-9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)ethenyl)phenyl)(4-trimethylsilylphenyl)amino)benzonitrile (8.6). The organic electroluminescent element using the obtained compound as luminescent material had low drive voltage and improved lifetime.
