PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AROMATIC COMPOUND AND AROMATIC COMPOUND OBTAINED BY THE PROCESS

摘要

A process for aromatic compound production in which the halogen element content in an aromatic compound can be effectively reduced; and an aromatic compound produced by the process which is useful as a material for obtaining organic EL elements having a long life. The process for aromatic compound production comprises reacting an aromatic compound produced through a halogenated intermediate and having a halogen element content of 10-1,000 mass ppm with a dehalogenating agent to reduce the halogen element content to 10 mass ppm or lower.
