Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method which provides a diaminobiphenyl compound in a high yield and in a short period of time by a benzidine rearrangement reaction of a hydrazobenzene having a bulky substituent group at the meta position. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for preparing a diaminobiphenyl compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein, X1 and X2 are, independently of each other, a group selected from the group consisting of a trifluoromethyl group and, optionally fluorinated, isopropyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl and neopentyl groups, comprising a step of subjecting a diphenylhydrazine compound represented by the following formula (2) wherein X1 and X2 are as defined above, to a benzidine rearrangement reaction in the presence of an organic solvent and an inorganic acid at a temperature of from ?70° C. to ?11° C. to obtain the diaminobiphenyl compound represented by the formula (1).

Abstract: A board terminal electrode component includes a board, and a pair of land pads spaced apart from each other on a surface of the substrate. The pair of land pads respectively include inner ends which are proximal to each other in an arrangement direction, and outer ends farther from each other in the arrangement direction than the inner ends. The pair of land pads respectively include expanding width portions expanding in a width direction from the inner end toward the outer end. The pair of land pads respectively include insulators on a surface of an end portion of the outer end of the land pads.
