To provide a stilbene derivative exhibiting sufficient solubility to a predetermined solvent even in the case of being relatively high in average molecular weight owing to having a specific substituent on an intramolecular predetermined position, and also having predetermined photosensitive properties, to provide a method for producing the stilbene derivative, and an electrophotographic photoreceptor containing the same.

The stilbene derivative is represented by general formula(1)( wherein, four R1 and R2 groups are each a 1-20C substituted or nonsubstituted alkylor the like; and four R3 groups are each H or the like ). The electrophotographic photoreceptor containing the same is also provided. The method for producing the stilbene derivative comprises conducting a reaction between a specific formylated triphenylamine derivative and a specific tetraphosphoric ester derivative in the presence of a base.
