Abstract: Provided is a biomass-derived isoindoline compound (such as KII or DII) which is safe and can be obtained in a clean and carbon neutral approach. An isoindoline compound containing a radioactive carbon atom 14C and being represented by the following formula (I): in which, in the formula (I), A and B each independently represent an oxygen atom or NH, and R1 to R4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, an iodine atom, or a phenyl group which is optionally substituted with an alkyl group, wherein R2 and R3 optionally undergo ring closure to form a 5- to 8-membered ring.

Abstract: Provided are a quinacridone compound derived from biomass, which is obtainable safely and through a clean, green, and carbon neutral approach. and a composition containing the compound. A quinacridone compound including a radioactive carbon atom 14C and having the structure represented by the following formula (B). (In the formula (B), X each independently represents —Cl, —F, —Br, —I, —OH, —NO2, a C1 to C12 alkyl group, a C1 to C12 alkoxy group, a phenyl group, —COOH, —COO—C1 to C12 alkyl, or —CO—NR, R each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, or a phenyl group, and n each independently represents 1 or 2.

Abstract: A phthalocyanine compound in which the numbers and positions of various types of functional groups can be controlled and which can be produced from a biomass raw material is provided. The phthalocyanine compound has comparable or superior performance to conventional phthalocyanine compounds and can contribute to the carbon neutrality. The phthalocyanine compound is a compound represented by the following formula (I) or the like, the compound containing a radioactive carbon atom 14C.
