The present invention provides a photochromic compound expressed by general formula 1. In general formula 1: R1 and R2 bond to each other to form a ring structure; the ring structure is spiro fused with an indeno-fused naphthopyran or R1 and R2 each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted C1 or more straight-chain or branched
alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 or more cyclic
alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted group represented by –R100)nR101; R100 represents an alkyleneoxy group; R101 represents an
alkyl group; n represents an integer of at least 1; there are at least a total of 2 carbon atoms in the n alkyleneoxy groups represented by R100 and alkyl groups represented by R101; R3-R6 each independently represent a
hydrogen atom or a nonconjugated
substituent; R7-R10 each independently represent a
hydrogen atom or a
substituent; and R11-R20 each independently represent a
hydrogen atom or a
substituent, where one or more of R11-R20 represents an amino group represented by general formula 2. In general formula 2: n represents 0 or 1; Ar, when n is 0, represents a substituted or unsubstituted
aryl group having 5 or more ring constituent atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 5 or more ring constituent atoms, or, when n is 1, a substituted or unsubstituted
arylene group having 5 or more ring constituent atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group having 5 or more ring constituent atoms; R, when n is 0, represents a monovalent substituent, and, when n is 1, represents a
divalent substituent; L represents a
single bond or a
divalent linking group selected from the group consisting of C1-10 substituted or unsubstituted straight-chain, branched, or cyclic alkylene groups, C1-20 substituted or unsubstituted
arylene groups, C1-20 substituted or unsubstituted alkyl
arylene groups,
ether groups,
sulfide groups,
sulfone groups,
sulfoxide groups, –NR200– (R200 represents a
hydrogen atom or a substituent), or –SiRaRb– (Ra and Rb each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group); and "*" represents a bonding site with a
benzene ring.
