Abstract

A novel compound is provided. The novel compound is represented by General Formula (G1). In General Formula (G1), A represents a substituted or unsubstituted condensed aromatic ring having 10 to 30 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted condensed heteroaromatic ring having 10 to 30 carbon atoms, and R 1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 25 carbon atoms. Each of Y 1 and Y 2 independently represents a cycloalkyl group having a bridge structure and having 7 to 10 carbon atoms.
