Compound for organic electroluminescent device and organic electroluminescent device using the same

An organic electroluminescent device constituted of an anode, one or multiple organic layers, and a cathode piled one upon another on a substrate wherein at least one of the organic layers is a light-emitting layer, the said light-emitting layer contains a host material and a phosphorescent dopant, and the host material contains a compound for organic electroluminescent device represented by the following general formula (1):

• in the formula, R1 is independently a hydrogen atom, an aromatic hydrocarbon group of 6 to 25 carbon atoms, an aromatic heterocyclic group of 2 to 24 carbon atoms, or an amino group substituted by an aromatic hydrocarbon group or aromatic heterocyclic group and R2 is independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkoxyl group of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or an amino group substituted by a hydrocarbon group or heterocyclic group.
