The present disclosure aims to provide, as a material for highly efficient and durable organic EL elements, an
organic compound having superior characteristics such as excellent hole injection and transport performances,
electron blocking ability, and high stability in a thin-film state. Additionally, the present disclosure aims to provide a highly efficient and durable organic EL element by using the compound. In general formula (A), A and B each represents a substituted or unsubstituted
aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted fused polycyclic aromatic group; L1 to L4 each represents a
single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted
divalent aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted
divalent aromatic heterocyclic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted
divalent fused polycyclic aromatic group; and Rs may be the same or different, and each of the Rs represents a
hydrogen atom, a
deuterium atom, a substituted or unsubstituted
aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted fused polycyclic aromatic group. The arylamine compound of the present disclosure has excellent
heat resistance and good hole transport ability. Organic EL elements incorporating the compound into their
hole transport layer,
electron blocking layer, light emitting layer, or
hole injection layer exhibit favorable device characteristics.
