Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、感熱記録体用の顕色剤として優れた感熱紙性能を示すN−フェニル−N’−3−(4−p−トルエンスルホニルアミノカルボニルアミノベンゾイルオキシ)−プロピルウレア(以下、TUPUと略す)の新規な結晶変態に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
感熱記録体は、一般に紙、合成紙、プラスチックフィルム等の支持体上に電子供与性ロイコ染料のような発色性物質と電子受容性のフェノール性化合物等の有機酸性物質のような顕色性物質を主成分とする感熱発色層を設けてなり、それらを熱エネルギーによって反応させて記録画像を得ることができる。このような感熱記録体はたとえば特公昭 43−4160号公報、および特公昭 45−14039号公報に開示されており、広く実用化されている。
【0003】
感熱記録体は、記録装置がコンパクトで安価でかつ保守が容易であることから、レジ用紙や交通機関の切符、通勤定期券、ハンディターミナルの出力紙、馬券や船券あるいは超音波診断の画像出力紙など広範囲に実用されている。
近年、この画像の形成にかかわる種々の特性を改良する目的で、顕色性物質、いわゆる顕色剤の開発・発明が行なわれてきた。それらは、たとえば特開平5−32061号公報、特開平5−147357号公報、特開平8−333329号公報、特開2000−355167号公報などに開示され、実用化されている。
【0004】
本発明者らは先に特願2001−378605において、TUPUを含むいくつかの顕色剤を提案し、それらを使用した場合、高温環境下においても白紙部の発色が抑制され、一旦発色した画像の消色の無い、耐油、耐可塑剤等の発色画像の長期保存性に優れ、かつ記録感度の高い感熱記録体を製造することができる。
【0005】
上述のように、TUPUは、感熱記録体用の顕色剤として優れた特徴を有しているが、得られる化合物の物理物性が合成法などにより異なることが見出された。これは結晶の多形現象・変態現象と考えられるが、安定に製品を製造するためには、明確なキャラクタリゼーションが必要となる。更に、それらの結晶による物性の差異を積極的に利用して、特徴を持った感熱記録体を製造する技術基盤を作ることも重要である。
結晶多形は、珍しい現象ではあるが、決してまれではなく、感熱記録材料に関連する物質では、特許文献1、2などで開示されている。しかし、どの物質で結晶変態が現れるかを予想することはきわめて困難であり、実験事実に頼るしかないのが実情である。

本発明は感熱記録体の顕色性物質として有用なTUPUの新規な結晶変態を提供しようとするものである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は下記[1]〜[3]の態様を含む。
[1] 下記構造式(I):
【化3】

Figure 2004277383
により表わされ、かつ、そのX線回折図において、Cu−Kα線による回折角(2θ)が7.15°、17.25°に強いピークを示し、かつ、13.10°、14.15°に中間強度のピークを示す結晶形(I)を有する結晶変態。(但し、回折角(2θ)は、±0.1°の誤差を含むものとする。)
【0009】
[2] 下記構造式(I):
【化4】
Figure 2004277383
により表わされ、かつ、そのX線回折図において、Cu−Kα線による回折角(2θ)が18.5°に強いピークを示し、かつ、10.55°、14.75°、15.60°に中間強度のピークを示す結晶形(II型)を有するN−フェニル−N’−3−(4−p−トルエンスルホニルアミノカルボニルアミノベンゾイルオキシ)−プロピルウレアの結晶変態。(但し、回折角(2θ)は、±0.1°の誤差を含むものとする。)
[3] 上記[1]又は[2]に記載のN−フェニル−N’−3−(4−p−トルエンスルホニルアミノカルボニルアミノベンゾイルオキシ)−プロピルウレアの結晶変態を含有する感熱記録層を支持体上に設けた感熱記録体。
【0010】
TUPUは先に述べた特願2001−378605において既に顕色剤として有用であることが提案されている。しかし、工場レベルの量産を行なうためには、顕色剤の物性が安定していることが必須であるが、同じ化学構造式を有するTUPUの中でも融点や感熱紙の性能が異なってしまうものが存在することが明らかになった。ここで、TUPUが結晶変態を有し、その変態によって、感熱紙性能、特に発色感度に違いがあることが初めて明らかになった。
【0011】
その後の研究により、TUPUは少なくとも3種の結晶変態を有することを発見し、その内の2種(結晶形I、結晶形II)は、感熱紙の性能、特に感度が優れていることを発見した。すなわち、上記結晶形Iは、X線回折においてCu−Kα線による回折角(2θ)が、7.15°、17.25°において強いピークを示し、かつ、13.10°、14.15°に中間強度のピークを示す結晶形を有するもので、融点が159℃であり、良好な感度を示す。また、結晶形IIは、X線回折においてCu−Kα線による回折角(2θ)が、18.50°において強いピークを示し、かつ10.55°、14.75°、15.60°において中間強度のピークを示す結晶形を有するもので、融点が176℃であり、良好な感度を示す。一方、結晶形IIIはX線回折においてCu−Kα線による回折角(2θ)が、19.00°において強いピークを示し、かつ、10.25°、22.30°に中間強度のピークを示す結晶形を有し、融点は182℃のもので、これは感度が良好とは言えない。従って、事実上、工場レベルでの製造に適するものは、結晶形Iのものと結晶形IIのもの又は、それらの混合物を含有するものである。
【0012】
本発明者らは、TUPUにはいくつかの合成法があるが、その合成法と得られる結晶形態の間に強い相関関係があることを発見した。例えば、N−3−p−アミノフェニルプロピル−N’−フェニルウレアとp−トルエンスルホニルイソシアナートをトルエン溶媒中で短時間反応させて得られたTUPUは、結晶形Iの形態をとる。これに対して、同様の反応をたとえばトルエン中で長時間行なうと結晶形IIまたはアセトニトリル中で行なうと結晶形IIIの形態をとりやすい。
【0013】
次にTUPUの結晶変態をX線回折図において解説する。図1〜3はCu−Kα線による粉体X線回折法において、回折角(2θ)をシンチレーションカウンターを使用して記録したX線回折図である。
【0014】
図1は結晶形IのX線回折図であり、回折角(2θ)の7.15°,17.25°において強いピークを示し、かつ、13.10°、14.15°に中間強度のピークを示す。
【0015】
図2は結晶形IIのX線回折図であり、回折角(2θ)の18.50°において強いピークを示し、かつ10.55°、14.75°、15.60°において中間強度のピークを示す。
【0016】
図3は参考までに結晶形IIIのX線回折図であり、回折角(2θ)の19.00°において強いピークを示し、かつ、10.25°、22.30°に中間強度のピークを示す。
【0017】
これらX線回折図はTUPUの結晶変態を示し、各結晶変態の相違を明確に表示している。各結晶変態のTUPUは、通常はいずれも白色粉末状態であり、肉眼で見ただけではどの結晶変態なのか識別することは困難であるが、得られたものについてX線回折測定および融点測定をすることによって明確に区別することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to N-phenyl-N'-3- (4-p-toluenesulfonylaminocarbonylaminobenzoyloxy) -propylurea (hereinafter referred to as TUPU) which exhibits excellent thermal paper performance as a developer for thermal recording media. (Abbreviation)).
[0002]
[Prior art]
The thermosensitive recording medium is generally a color developing substance such as an electron-donating leuco dye and a developing substance such as an organic acidic substance such as an electron-accepting phenolic compound on a support such as paper, synthetic paper, and plastic film. Is provided as a main component, and these are reacted by thermal energy to obtain a recorded image. Such a heat-sensitive recording medium is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 43-4160 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 45-14039, and is widely used.
[0003]
Thermal recording materials are compact, inexpensive, and easy to maintain, so cash register paper, transportation tickets, commuter passes, handy terminal output paper, horse and boat tickets, and image output for ultrasonic diagnostics Widely used in paper and other applications.
In recent years, development and invention of a color-developing substance, that is, a so-called color developer, have been carried out for the purpose of improving various characteristics relating to the formation of the image. These are disclosed in, for example, JP-A-5-32061, JP-A-5-147357, JP-A-8-333329, and JP-A-2000-355167, and have been put to practical use.
[0004]
The present inventors have previously proposed several developers including TUPU in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-378605, and when they are used, the color development of a blank portion is suppressed even under a high-temperature environment, and the image once developed It is possible to produce a heat-sensitive recording medium which is excellent in long-term preservability of a color-developed image such as an oil-resistant and a plasticizer-resistant and has high recording sensitivity.
[0005]
As described above, TUPU has excellent characteristics as a developer for a thermosensitive recording medium, but it has been found that the physical properties of the obtained compound differ depending on the synthesis method and the like. This is considered to be a polymorphism / transformation phenomenon of the crystal, but a clear characterization is required for stable production of the product. In addition, it is important to actively utilize the difference in physical properties between the crystals to create a technical base for producing a heat-sensitive recording medium having characteristics.
Although a polymorphism is a rare phenomenon, it is by no means a rare phenomenon. Materials related to thermosensitive recording materials are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2. However, it is extremely difficult to predict in which substance the crystal transformation will occur, and in fact it is necessary to rely on experimental facts.

[0010]
TUPU has already been proposed to be useful as a color developer in the aforementioned Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-378605. However, in order to perform mass production at the factory level, it is essential that the physical properties of the color developer be stable. Among TUPUs having the same chemical structural formula, those having different melting points and different performances of thermal paper are considered. It turned out to be. Here, it became clear for the first time that TUPU had a crystal transformation, and the transformation resulted in a difference in the thermal paper performance, especially in the color sensitivity.

Subsequent studies have found that TUPU has at least three types of crystal modifications, two of which (Form I and Form II) have excellent thermal paper performance, especially sensitivity. did. That is, the crystal form I shows a strong peak at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 7.15 ° and 17.25 ° by Cu-Kα ray in X-ray diffraction, and 13.10 ° and 14.15 °. Has a crystal form showing an intermediate intensity peak, has a melting point of 159 ° C., and exhibits good sensitivity. The crystal form II shows a strong peak at a diffraction angle (2θ) by Cu-Kα ray at 18.50 ° in X-ray diffraction, and an intermediate peak at 10.55 °, 14.75 °, 15.60 °. It has a crystal form showing an intensity peak, has a melting point of 176 ° C., and exhibits good sensitivity. On the other hand, the crystal form III shows a strong peak at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 19.00 ° by a Cu-Kα ray in X-ray diffraction, and peaks of intermediate intensity at 10.25 ° and 22.30 °. It has a crystalline form and a melting point of 182 ° C., which is not good sensitivity. Thus, in fact, those suitable for production at the factory level are those containing crystalline forms I and II, or mixtures thereof.
[0012]
The present inventors have found that there are several synthetic methods for TUPU, but there is a strong correlation between the synthetic methods and the resulting crystal forms. For example, TUPU obtained by reacting N-3-p-aminophenylpropyl-N′-phenylurea with p-toluenesulfonyl isocyanate in a toluene solvent for a short time takes the form of crystalline form I. On the other hand, when the same reaction is carried out for a long time in, for example, toluene, crystal form II or in form of acetonitrile tends to take the form of crystal form III.
[0013]
Next, the crystal transformation of TUPU will be described with reference to an X-ray diffraction diagram. FIGS. 1 to 3 are X-ray diffraction diagrams in which the diffraction angle (2θ) was recorded using a scintillation counter in the powder X-ray diffraction method using Cu-Kα radiation.
[0014]

[0015]
FIG. 2 is an X-ray diffraction pattern of crystal form II, showing a strong peak at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 18.50 ° and peaks of intermediate intensity at 10.55 °, 14.75 °, and 15.60 °. Is shown.
[0016]
FIG. 3 is an X-ray diffraction pattern of crystal form III for reference, showing a strong peak at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 19.00 °, and peaks of intermediate intensity at 10.25 ° and 22.30 °. Show.
[0017]
These X-ray diffraction diagrams show the TUPU crystal modifications and clearly show the differences between the crystal modifications. The TUPU of each crystal modification is usually in a white powder state, and it is difficult to identify which crystal modification by visual inspection. However, X-ray diffraction measurement and melting point measurement of the obtained TUPU are performed. Can be clearly distinguished.
