Primary Examiner-Murray Katz Attorney-Sughrue, Rothwell, Mion, Zinn & Macpeak ABSTRACT: A pressure-sensitive copying paper comprising a support having coated thereon microcapsules containing an organic solvent solution of a compound which, when in contact with an electron acceptable solid acid, forms a color dye and is represented by the following formula:
- alkyl group having from one to 17 carbon atoms, an aryl group, an amino group, an acylamino group and an alkoxy group having from one to five carbon atoms.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a pressure-sensitive copying paper and in particular, it is concerned with a pressure-sensitive copying paper using as a color former a compound represented by the following general formula:
n l l i in which R and R are alkyl groups of one to five carbon atoms or benzyl groups, X is an alkyl group of one to five carbon atoms or an aryl group, and Y is an alkyl group of one to 17 carbon atoms, an aryl group, an amino group, an acylamino group or an alkoxy group.
2. Description of the Prior Art Ordinary pressure-sensitive copying paper consists of an upper paper onto which is coated a substantially colorless organic compound having an electron-donating property and a color forming reactivity (hereinafter referred to as a color former") dissolved in an organic solvent and incorporated in microcapsules and a lower paper, onto which is coated electron-acceptable solid acid. If necessary, an intermediate paper layer is provided onto one side thereof is coated the colorformer-containing microcapsules and on the other side thereof is coated a solid acid, and a support on one side of which the microcapsules and solid acid are coated.
In the case of using the upper and lower paper in combination with the optional intermediate paper, the papers are pressed locally in such a manner that the microcapsules-containing layer and the solid acid-containing layer are contacted, whereby the microcapsules in this pressurized area are broken and the color former is reacted with the solid acid, thus color forming.
In the case of using a pressure-sensitive copying paper having the microcapsules and solid acid on the same side, the paper may be pressed for color forming by means of a typewriter, for example.
Examples of color formers coloring in red and blue are the following: leuco triphenylmethane derivatives, leuco methylene blue acyl derivatives, and triphenylmethane and xanthene phthalide derivatives having lactone rings. However, there are not many color formers coloring in yellow orange to orange red. These color formers have the following disadvantages. That is to say, o-hydroxybenzalacetophenone has a low color forming density. 2-(4-hydroxystyryl)-3,3-dimethyl- 3I-l-indole or 2-(4-acetamidestry1)-3,3-dimethyl-3H-indole (cf. Japan Pat. publication No. 21033/1966) has a high color forming density and relatively strong light resistance after color forming, but the light resistance before color forming and water resistance after color forming are weak. If a color former coloring in yellow-orange to orange-red is obtained which has a higher color density, higher color forming speed and stronger light resistance and water resistance before and after color forming than those known in the art, a pressuresensitive copying paper coloring in yellow-orange to orangered as well as a pressure-sensitive copying paper coloring in an optional color such as black or blue-black used together with a known color former coloring in red or blue will be given. This advantage enlarges the application of pressure-sensitive copying papers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is the principal object of the present invention to obtain a pressure-sensitive copying paper coloring in yellow-orange to orange-red as well as to provide a pressure-sensitive copying paper coloring in an optional color such as black or blue-black together with a known red or blue color former by the use of a compound represented by the foregoing general formula.
We have discovered as a result of many studies on a color former coloringin yellow-orange to orange-red that the use of avcompound represented by the foregoing general formula as a color former leads to obtaining a pressure-sensitive copying paper coloring in yellow-orange to orange-red as well as a pressure-sensitive copying paper coloring in an optional color such as black or blue-black when used together with a known color former coloring in red or blue.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A pressure-sensitive copying paper according to the present invention using the compound of the foregoing general formula has an excellent stability in air before color forming, is free from coloring and lowering of the color forming ability, colored in yelloworange to orange-red immediately when contacted with an electron-accepting solid, acid, thus resulting in a high color density and is strongly resistant to light and water after color forming, When used together with a known color former coloring in red or blue, it colors in various colors such as black and blue-black without being desensitized.
Typical examples of the compound coloring in yelloworange to orange-red, represented by the foregoing general formula, are as follows;
Identification of the thus obtained compound with the molecular structure of the general formula is carried out by IR absorption spectrum and elementary analysis. The characteristic absorption of carbonyl in the lactone ring of these compounds appears near 1,755 cm.and neither the characteristic absorption of other carbonyl groups, except in the foregoing color former (9) having a carbonyl of amide, nor the characteristic absorption of a hydroxyl group was found. The result of the elementary analysis corresponds to the theoretical value as shown in the following synthesisexamples.
