An electrophotographic photosensitive member includes a charge generating material
and a charge transfer material. The charge transfer material contains a triarylamine
compound synthesized from an amine compound and an aryl halide in the presence
of a catalyst comprising a phosphine compound represented by formula (1) and a
palladium compound:
##STR1##
wherein Ar1 to Ar3 are each independently an alkyl
or aryl group which may have a substituent group, and at least one of Ar1
to Ar3 is an aryl group. A process cartridge includes the electrophotographic
photosensitive member.
