A hydroxy arylamine compound is disclosed represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein: m is 0 or 1, Z is selected from the group consisting of: ##STR2## n is 0 or 1, Ar is selected from the group consisting of: ##STR3## R is selected from the group consisting of --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --C.sub.3 H.sub.7, and --C.sub.4 H.sub.9, Ar' is selected from the group consisting of: ##STR4## X is selected from the group consisting of: ##STR5## s is 0, 1 or 2, the dihydroxy arylamine compound being free of any direct conjugation between the --OH groups and the nearest nitrogen atom through one or more aromatic rings. The dihydroxy arylamine compound may be employed in an electrophotographic imaging member and the member may be used in an electrophotographic imaging process.
An electrostatographic imaging member comprising a support layer and at least one electrophotoconductive layer, said imaging member comprising a photogenerating material and a hydroxy arylamine compound represented by the formula:
An electrophotographic imaging process comprising forming an electrostatic latent image on the imaging surface of an electrostatographic imaging member comprising a support layer and at least one electrophotoconductive layer and contacting said electrostatic latent image with a developer, said imaging member comprising a photogenerating material, a polar group containing polymeric binder and a hydroxy arylamine compound represented by the formula:
