Die Spirodipyrane der Formel sind schwach farbige bis farblose Verbindungen, deren Lösungen in einem inerten, organischen Lösungsmittel in Kontakt mit elektroenanziehenden Substanzen rotviolette bis blaue Färbungen geben. Typische Beispiele für Elektronenakzeptorsubstanzen sind Carbon-oder Mineralsäuren, Kaolin, Bentonit, aktivierter Ton, Aluminiumsilikat, Attapulgit oder jeder beliebige Ton, sauer reagierende polymere Materialien wie Kondensationsprodukte aus Phenolen und/oder Phenolsulfonsäuren, ferner Metalloxide oder -salze wie Zinkoxid, Aluminiumoxid, Zinkchlorid, Eisenstearat oder Cobaltnaphthenat.The spirodipyrans of the formula are weakly colored to colorless compounds, the solutions of which give red-violet to blue colorations in an inert, organic solvent in contact with electro-attracting substances. Typical examples of electron acceptor substances are carbon or mineral acids, kaolin, bentonite, activated clay, aluminum silicate, attapulgite or any clay, acidic polymeric materials such as condensation products from phenols and / or phenolsulfonic acids, also metal oxides or salts such as zinc oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc chloride, Iron stearate or cobalt naphthenate.

Aufgrunde dieser Eigenschaften sind die neuen Spirodipyrane der Formel 1 als Farbbildner für druckempfindliche Aufzeichnungsmaterialen oder Kopiermaterialien geeignet.Because of these properties, the new spirodipyrans of formula 1 are suitable as color formers for pressure-sensitive recording materials or copying materials.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Spirodipyrane der Formel 1 haben in druckempfindlichen Durchschreibesystemen den Vorteil, daß die Farbbildner auf nicht beschichtetem Streichrohpapier praktisch keine Tendenz zur Farbbildung zeigen. Beim Durchschreiben entsteht daher auf der Rückseite des mit dem Farbbildner beschichteten Deckblattes keine Spiegelschrift. Aus dem gleichen Grund erfolgt bei ungewollter Zerstörung der Kapseln keine Verschmutzung (Anfärbung) der Seite des Blattes, welche die Mikrokapselschicht trägt.The spirodipyrans of formula 1 according to the invention have the advantage in pressure-sensitive copying systems that the color formers show practically no tendency towards color formation on uncoated coating base paper. When copying, there is therefore no mirror writing on the back of the cover sheet coated with the color former. For the same reason, if the capsules are inadvertently destroyed, the side of the sheet carrying the microcapsule layer is not soiled (stained).

Die erfindungsgemäßen Spirodipyrane haben gegenüber dem aus den DE-OS 22 32 364, 23 23 803 und 24 30 568 bekannten Spirodipyranen, die in der 7-Stellung eine Dialkylaminogruppe tragen, den Vorteil, daß die Spirodipyrane der vorliegenden Erfindung auf Streichrohpapier und auf nicht mit aktivem Clay beschichteten Papier praktisch keine Färbung geben. Z.B. färbt der aus Beispiel 1 der DE-OS 22 32 364 bekannte Farbbildner Streichrohpapier ungefähr 12,5mal so stark an wie der Farbstoff des Beispiels 8 der vorliegenden Erfindung. Im Vergleich zu diesem Farbbildner färben die aus der DE-OS 23 23 803, Beispiel 2 und aus der DE-OS 24 30 568, Beispiel 5 bekannten Farbbildner Streichrohpapier ungefähr 4mal, bzw. 3,2mal stärker an.The spirodipyrans according to the invention have the advantage over the spirodipyrans known from DE-OS 22 32 364, 23 23 803 and 24 30 568, which carry a dialkylamino group in the 7-position, that the spirodipyrans of the present invention are on coating base paper and not on Give practically no coloring to active clay coated paper. E.g. the color former known from Example 1 of DE-OS 22 32 364 stains coating base paper about 12.5 times as strongly as the dye of Example 8 of the present invention. In comparison to this color former, the color formers known from DE-OS 23 23 803, Example 2 and from DE-OS 24 30 568, Example 5, dye base paper approximately 4 times or 3.2 times more strongly.

Gegenüber dem aus Beispiel 15 der DE-OS 26 11 600 bekannten Spirodipyran, das in der 7-Stellung eine Morpholingruppe und in der 7'-Stellung eine Diäthylaminogruppe trägt und das zu den Spirodipyranen der vorliegenden Erfindung als das nächstliegende anzusehen ist, weisen die Spirodipyrane der vorliegenden Erfindung bei gleichem Verhalten auf Streichrohpapier une wesentlich höhere Farbstärke auf. So beträgt die Farbstärke des aus Beispiel 15 der DE-OS 26 11 600 bekannten Farbbildners nur 29% der des Farbbildners aus Beispiel 2 der vorliegenden Erfindung.Compared to the spirodipyran known from Example 15 of DE-OS 26 11 600, which bears a morpholine group in the 7-position and a diethylamino group in the 7'-position and which is the closest to the spirodipyrans of the present invention, the spirodipyrans have the present invention with the same behavior on coating base paper and a significantly higher color strength. The color strength of the color former known from Example 15 of DE-OS 26 11 600 is only 29% of that of the color former from Example 2 of the present invention.

Vorteilhaft ist es, die erfindungsgemäßen Spirodipyrane in bekannter Weise in organischen Lösungsmitteln wie Chlorparaffinen, halogeniertem oder teilhydriertem Biphenyl, Alkylbenzol, Alkylnaphthalin, alkyliertem Dibenzylbenzol, Paraffinöl, Mineralöl oder auch in üblichen Lösungsmitteln wie Toluol, Xylol, in Form einer Lösung oder Suspension in Mikrokapseln einzuschließen und damit unter Mitverwendung von Bindemitteln und weiteren Hilfsmitteln wie Abstandshaltern die Papieroberfläche zu beschichten. Man erhält druckempfindliche Papiere, die in kontakt mit elektronenanziehenden Materialien bei entsprechendem Schrieb. oder Typendruck ein Schriftbild in rotvioletter bis blauer Farbe geben.It is advantageous to include the spirodipyrans according to the invention in a known manner in organic solvents such as chlorinated paraffins, halogenated or partially hydrogenated biphenyl, alkylbenzene, alkylnaphthalene, alkylated dibenzylbenzene, paraffin oil, mineral oil or else in customary solvents such as toluene, xylene, in the form of a solution or suspension in microcapsules and thus to coat the paper surface with the use of binders and other aids such as spacers. Pressure-sensitive papers are obtained which come into contact with electron-attracting materials with a corresponding writing. or type printing give a typeface in red-violet to blue color.

Geeignete Verfahren zur Herstellung von Mikrokapseln sind z.B. in den US-PS 2 800 457 und 2 800 458 und in der DE-PS 21 19 933 beschrieben.Suitable methods for producing microcapsules are e.g. in US-PS 2,800,457 and 2,800,458 and in DE-PS 21 19 933.

Da die erfindungsgemäßen Spirodipyrane (I) auch in wäßriger Suspension stabiler sind als Farbbildner, die Dialkylaminogruppen enthalten (DE-OS 22 32 364, 23 23 803 und 24 30 568), erhält man mit ersteren praktisch farblose Milrokapseldispersionen.Since the spirodipyrans (I) according to the invention are more stable in aqueous suspension than color formers which contain dialkylamino groups (DE-OS 22 32 364, 23 23 803 and 24 30 568), practically colorless microcapsule dispersions are obtained with the former.

Man kann die erfindungsgemäßen Spirodipyrane der allgemeinen Formel I auch nach dem in der US-PS 3 103 404 beschriebenen Verfahren in Wachs oder Öl-Wachsmischungen fein verteilen und mit diesen Mischungen Träger, wie Folien oder Papier beschichten. Man erhält druckempfindliche Materialien, die zum Durchschreiben auf mit Elektronenakzeptorsubstanzen beschichteten Papieren geeignet sind und die nach Gebrauch wie Kohlepapier entfernt werden.The spirodipyrans of the general formula I according to the invention can also be finely divided into wax or oil-wax mixtures by the process described in US Pat. No. 3,103,404 and carriers, such as foils or paper, coated with these mixtures. Pressure-sensitive materials are obtained which are suitable for copying on papers coated with electron acceptor substances and which are removed after use like carbon paper.

Die Synthese der Farbbildner erfolgt nach dem folgenden Reaktionsschema in an sich bekannter Weise durch Cyclisierung der o-Hydroxylaryl-styryl-verbindungen der Formel IV. Letztere werden z.B. durch Kondensation von Benzopyryliumsalzen der Formel II mit N-substituierten p-Aminosalicylaldehyden der Formel III erhalten:

The color formers are synthesized according to the following reaction scheme in a manner known per se by cyclization of the o-hydroxylaryl-styryl compounds of the formula IV. The latter are obtained, for example, by condensation of benzopyrylium salts of the formula II with N-substituted p-aminosalicylaldehydes of the formula III:
Figure imgb0003

Die Kondensation erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise in inerten organischen Lösungsmitteln, wie Alkoholen, Carbonsäuren, Carbonsäureanhydriden, Carbonsäureamiden, Kohlenwasserstoffen oderAcetonitril, gegebenenfalls in Gegenwart saurer oder basischer Kondensationsmittel, wie Zinkchlorid, Phosphorsäure, Chlorwasserstoff, Toluolsulfonsäure, Borsäure, Pyridin, Piperidin, Triäthylamin, Ammoniumacetat unter üblichen Kondensationsbedingungen.The condensation is expediently carried out in inert organic solvents, such as alcohols, carboxylic acids, carboxylic anhydrides, carboxamides, hydrocarbons or acetonitrile, optionally in the presence of acidic or basic condensing agents, such as zinc chloride, phosphoric acid, hydrogen chloride, toluenesulfonic acid, boric acid, pyridine, piperidine, triethylamine, ammonium acetate, under the usual condensation conditions .

In der Regel wird die Kondensation bei Temperaturen im Bereich von 20 bis 120°C ausgeführt.As a rule, the condensation is carried out at temperatures in the range from 20 to 120 ° C.

Der Ringschluß wird in Gegenwart von Basen, wie Natrium- oder Kaliumhydroxid, Natrium- oder Kaliumcarbonat, Natrium- oder Kaliumacetat, Ammoniak, aliphatischen Amine, Pyridin, in üblicher Weise durchgeführt. Die aus dieser Lösung sich abscheidenden kristallisierten Spirodipyranverbindungen sind direkt oder nach einer Reinigung z.B. durch Umkristallisieren oder Umfällen als Farbbildner für Kopierverfahren verwendbar.The ring closure to the pyran derivative can take place together with the condensation or subsequent to it in the same or in a separate operation.

Wird eine Lösung dieser Verbindung in Mikrokapseln eingeschlossen und auf Papier als Beschichtung aufgebracht, so erhält man beim Auflegen und Beschriften auf einer sauren Nehmerschicht, wobei die Kapseln zerstört werden und deren Inhalt mit der Nehmerschicht in Berührung gebracht wird, eine intensive blaue Durchschrift.If a solution of this compound is enclosed in microcapsules and applied to paper as a coating, an intense blue copy is obtained when placed and labeled on an acidic receiver layer, the capsules being destroyed and the contents of which are brought into contact with the receiver layer.

Aufgrund der sehr geringen Selbstfarbentwicklungsfähigkeit des Farbbildners erfolgt praktisch keine Farbenentwicklung (Spiegelschrift) auf dem die Kapselschicht tragenden Blatt durch die aus den zerstörten Kapseln freigesetzte Farbbildnerlösung.Due to the very low self-color development ability of the color former, there is practically no color development (mirror writing) on the sheet carrying the capsule layer due to the color former solution released from the destroyed capsules.

Diese geringe Farbbildungstendenz zeigt der Farbbildner auch beim Durchschreiben auf nicht beschichtetem Papier, wo nahezu keine Farbentwicklung erfolgt, während ein Farbbildner mit einer Diäthylaminogruppe anstelle des Morpholinringes eine deutlich sichtbare, blaue Durchschrift entwickelt.The color former also shows this slight tendency to form when writing on uncoated paper, where there is almost no color development, while a color former with a diethylamino group instead of the morpholine ring develops a clearly visible blue copy.

Eine vergleichsweise intensive blaugrüne Farbentwicklung erhält man mit einem Farbbildner, der durch eine Diäthylaminogruppe anstelle des Morpholinringes in 7-Stellung substituiert ist.On the other hand, there is practically no color development on paper that is not coated with electron acceptors. A comparatively intense blue-green color development is obtained with a color former which is substituted in the 7-position by a diethylamino group instead of the morpholine ring.
