Azine cyclic compounds and a method for producing a fused ring having a nitrogen-containing aromatic group, and to the cyclic azine compound component constituting the organic electroluminescent element

The general formula (1) cyclic azine compound represented by (wherein, Y represents a nitrogen atom or C-H represents an optionally substituted .Ar1 carbon atoms, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenyl group having 6 to 18 aromatic hydrocarbon group .Ar2 represents a hydrogen atom; an optionally carbon atoms, a phenyl or pyridyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbon group of 6 to 18; or a C 9-15 nitrogen atoms condensed ring aromatic group. Ar3 represents 9 to 15 carbon atoms, a nitrogen-containing cyclic aromatic group condensing .X represents phenylene group, n represents an integer of 0 to 3). The compound as the component constituting the organic electroluminescent element is useful.
