  • Patent number: 8455866
    Abstract: A heterocyclic compound of formula 1 and an organic light-emitting device including an organic layer containing the heterocyclic compound. The heterocyclic compound of Formula 1 may be suitable as a material for an emission layer, an electron transport layer or an electron injection layer of an organic light-emitting device. Due to the inclusion of the heterocylic group in its molecular structure, the heterocyclic compound of Formula 1 may have a high glass transition temperature (Tg) or a high melting point, and may prevent crystallization. An organic light-emitting device manufactured using the heterocyclic compound of Formula 1, which has a symmetrical structure in which a chrysene group and an indole group are fused, has excellent durability when stored or operated.

  • Patent number: 8420847
    Abstract: A novel bis-phosphate compound is provided which can be applied to a wide range of reactive substrates and reactions as an asymmetric reaction catalyst and can realize an asymmetric reaction affording a high yield and a high enantiomeric excess. The bis-phosphate compound has a tetraaryl skeleton represented by General Formula (1). In an asymmetric reaction, an amidodiene and an unsaturated aldehyde compound are reacted with each other in the presence of the optically active bis-phosphate compound to give an optically active amidoaldehyde. The invention allows a reaction such as an asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction to proceed efficiently, which has been difficult with conventional mono-phosphate compounds.
