Novel amine compounds that can be utilized as hole transport materials,
hole injection materials or the like of organic electroluminescence
devices, electrophotographic receptors or the like, and their production
processes are provided.The novel amine compound is represented by the
following general formula (1).In the formula, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each
independently represents hydrogen atom, a linear, branched or cyclic
alkyl group or alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group or a halogen
atom; Ar.sup.1 and Ar.sup.2 each independently represents a substituted
or unsubstituted aryl group or heteroaryl group, and may form a
nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring together with the nitrogen atom
bonded thereto; and Ar.sup.3 each independently represents a substituted
or unsubstituted phenyl group, naphthyl group, biphenylyl group,
terphenylyl group, anthryl group, fluorenyl group or pyridyl group
(except for amino-substituted groups); and M represents a single bond, an
arylene group or a heteroarylene group. ##STR00001##
