Benefits of technology

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a thiophene derivative which is useful for a material for forming an organic positive hole layer of an organic EL element excellent in light emitting efficiency, water resistance or the like, a polymer having the thiophene derivative as a monomer unit, and an organic EL element.

Problems solved by technology

Polybenzo[c]thiophene sulfonic acid is a useful conductive polymer material, however, polybenzo[c]thiophene sulfonic acid is basically synthesized by sulfonation of polybenzo[c]thiophene in the presence of sulfuric acid and it is significantly difficult to introduce a sulfonic group to all polybenzo[c]thiophene units.
In the case of synthesizing a copolymer of benzo[c]thiophene sulfonic acid and other monomer in order to exhibit various functions, sulfonation is performed after the copolymerizing process, thus, the monomer structure to be copolymerized with polybenzo[c]thiophene may be unnecessarily affected by the sulfonation, which is not efficient.
Generally, an organic El element is easily affected by moisture, and a performance of element is easily deteriorated by moisture.
However, as aforementioned, since the organic positive hole transporting layer is formed with the coating liquid containing water and the material for forming the organic positive hole transporting layer is a hydrophilic material, it is significantly difficult to completely remove even a minute amount of moisture from the organic positive hole transporting layer.
However, there are problems that such an effort is cumbersome and requires high production costs.

example 1

[0036] 5.27 parts of dibromo-o-toluene was heated to reflux in 70 parts of toluene in the presence of phosphorus trisulfide for 8 hours to obtain benzo[c]thiophene. 0.86 parts of thus obtained benzo[c]thiophene was heated to reflux with 0.56 parts of cuprous bromide in dehydrated methylene chloride for 5 hours to obtain 0.47 parts of dibromobenzothiophene. The bromide was sulfonated by fuming sulfuric acid. The sulfide was heated to reflux with an excessive amount of dibutyl sulfate in dehydrated tetrahydrofuran for 12 hours. Then, an unreacted product and impurity were removed, dried under reduced pressure, and thus obtained a thiophene derivative of the present invention represented by the formula 1a (brown powder, decomposition temperature: 157° C. (elimination of a dibutyl group), melting point: 270° C.):

[0037] The results of elementary analysis and NMR analysis of the compound represented by the formula 1a are as follows.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a thiophene derivative and an organic electroluminescent (hereinafter it is simply referred to as “EL”) element. Particularly, it relates to a novel thiophene derivative which is useful for producing an organic electroluminescent element, a polymer thereof, and an organic EL element. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] An organic EL element comprises a couple of electrodes facing each other and an organic light emitting layer disposed between the couple of electrodes, wherein the organic light emitting layer emits light when an electron injected from one electrode and a positive hole injected from another electrode recombine in the organic light emitting layer. Research and development of such an element fully started when M. Pope, H. P. Kallmann et al. found light emission of a single crystal of anthracene generated by impressing direct voltage in 1963. In 1987, an organ...
