Photoconductive imaging member with stabilizer in charge transfer layer

An electrophotographic imaging process comprising providing an electrophotographic imaging member comprising a conductive layer, a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer, said charge transport layer comprising an aromatic amine charge transport molecule in a continuous polymeric binder phase and from about 0.01 percent by weight to about 5 percent by weight based on the total weight of said transport layer of a chemical stabilizer selected from the group consisting of

• I. a nitrone compound having the structural formula ##STR17## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of a substituted and unsubstituted group selected from the group consisting of a phenyl group, a fused ring aromatic group and a heterocyclic group, and R.sub.2 is selectes from the group consisting of a substituted and unsubstituted group selected from the group consisting of a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a fused ring aromatic group and a heterocyclic group,
• II. an isobenzofuran compound having the structural formula ##STR18## wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are independently selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted alkyl groups containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms and substituted and unsubstituted phenyl groups,
• III. a hydroxyaromatic compound selected from the group consisting of
• A. fused hydroxyaromatic compounds having the structural formula ##STR19## wherein R.sub.9, R.sub.10, R.sub.11, and R.sub.12 are independently selected from the groupm consisting of hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, wherein at least one of said R.sub.9, R.sub.10, R.sub.11, and R.sub.12 is a hydroxyl group, and R.sub.13 and R.sub.14 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an alkenyl group containing 2 to 40 carbon atoms, and an alkyl group containing 1 to 40 carbon atoms, and
• B. monomeric and polymeric phenolic compounds having the structural formula ##STR20## wherein R.sub.15, R.sub.16, R.sub.17, R.sub.18, and R.sub.19 are independently selected from the group conssisting of hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, and substituted and unsubstituted groups selected from the group consisting of a linear alkyl group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a branched alkyl group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an ester group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a napthyl group, an ester group, and an alkoxy group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and
• C. substituted and unsubstituted naphthol compounds, and mixtures thereof, forming an electrostatic latent image on said electrophotographic imaging member, contacting said electrostatic latent image with electrostatically attractable toner particles to form a deposited toner image in image configuration and transfering said toner image to a receiving member.
