Method for producing aromatic amino compound

21 121 11 2A method for producing aromatic amino compound (V): by synthesizing intermediate compound (IV): by the reaction of compound (I): HN-Rwith a mixture of halogenated aryl compounds (II): Ar-X and (III): Ar-X in the presence of a noble metal catalyst, followed by eliminating the substituent Rfrom the nitrogen atom in compound (IV) under an acidic condition or an alkaline condition or by addition of a reducing agent or an oxidizing agent. (R: a substituent having 2 to 50 carbon atoms; Arand Ar: a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group or heterocyclic group having 6 to 50 carbon atoms and the same with or different from each other; and X: a halogen group). The aromatic amino compound useful as the charge transporting material can be produced efficiently at a great yield without using highly toxic raw materials.
