Dimethylformamide → Trimethylhydroquinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

After dissolving 45 mg of selenium dioxide, 0.4 g of a polycarbonate resin (having the same composition as the resin used for CTL in Example 1), and 280 mg of 4,4'-benzylidenebis(N,N-diethyl-m-toluidine) in 5 g of N,N-dimethylformamide and then dissolving therein 145 mg of trimethylhydroquinone, the solution obtained was immediately coated on an aluminum-vapor deposited polyester film (same as in Example 1) using a coating rod and dried for one hour under hot blast of 60° C. to form a photoconductive layer. The color of the photoconductive layer was deep red and the thickness was 8 μm. The photoconductive layer was heat-treated as in Example 1. The initial light discharge speed was 0.7 (V0 =-350 volts (saturated potential)).
