Description

The present invention relates to a novel urea urethane compound. The present invention also relates to a novel color former using a urea urethane compound and a recording material using the same.
The color former of the present invention is useful, for example, as a color former of a recording material using recording energy such as heat and pressure, and in particular, a color former having improved storage stability of a non-colored portion (background) and a colored image, and The present invention relates to a recording material using the same, in particular, a heat-sensitive recording material.

  Conventionally, many chemical coloring systems using recording energy such as heat and pressure are known. Among them, a coloring system consisting of a two-component coloring system, usually a colorless or light-colored dye precursor and a color developer that comes into contact with the dye precursor, has been known for a long time and is widely applied to recording materials. Has been. For example, there are pressure-sensitive recording materials using pressure energy, heat-sensitive recording materials using thermal energy, and photosensitive recording materials using light energy.

  So far, pressure-sensitive recording materials using pressure energy have been most commonly used as a plain paper. In general, a pressure-sensitive recording material can be obtained by dissolving a dye precursor in a suitable solvent, emulsifying it to several microns, and then performing microencapsulation. An upper sheet formed by applying this microcapsule on a support, a lower sheet formed by applying a developer layer containing a developer on another support, a microcapsule application surface and a developer application surface. When they are overlapped so as to face each other and a writing pressure or a striking pressure is applied, the microcapsules are broken and the inclusions containing the dye precursor are released. The dye precursor is transferred to the developer layer and comes into contact with the developer, and a color development reaction occurs to record an image.

  In recent years, for example, in various information devices such as facsimiles, printers, recorders, and the like, many thermal recording systems that perform recording by thermal energy have been adopted. The thermal recording material used in the thermal recording system has many excellent properties such as high whiteness, appearance, touch close to plain paper, good recording suitability such as coloring sensitivity, etc. Has advantages such as small equipment, no maintenance, no noise generation, measuring recorder, facsimile, printer, computer terminal, label, automatic ticket vending machine for tickets, etc. The application has been expanded to the field.

  The thermal recording method mainly uses a recording material in which a color developing layer containing a two-component color former is provided on a support, and heat is applied thereto as a recording energy by a thermal head, a hot stamp, a laser beam or the like. In this method, the heat-sensitive agent components are brought into contact with each other on the recording material to perform color recording. As the color former, a colorless or light-colored electron-donating dye precursor (particularly a leuco dye) and an acidic developer such as a phenolic compound are often used. Examples of the recording material using the leuco dye include thermal paper (see Patent Document 1, etc.) using crystal violet lactone and 4,4′-isopropylidenediphenol (bisphenol A) as a thermal color former.

As the dye precursor and developer used in these recording methods, an electron donating compound and an electron accepting compound are mainly used, respectively. This is because a dye precursor that is an electron-donating compound and a developer that is an electron-accepting compound come into contact with each other, so that a color image with a high density can be obtained instantaneously and an appearance close to white can be obtained. This is because it has excellent characteristics such as various colored hues such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and black. However, on the other hand, the obtained color image is inferior in chemical resistance, and when it comes into contact with a plasticizer contained in a plastic sheet or eraser or a chemical contained in food or cosmetics, the record is easily lost, or relatively Due to the poor storage stability of records, such as fading or disappearing due to short-term exposure to sunlight, color formers composed of dye precursors and developers are subject to certain restrictions. The improvement is strongly desired.

In recent years, phenolic compounds typified by bisphenol A have been used due to the problem of environmental hormones, and a non-phenolic color developer has been demanded.
In response to such a request, for example, Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 disclose a recording material comprising a combination of a color former composed of an aromatic isocyanate compound and an imino compound as a recording material having good storage stability. ing. In the present invention, various recording materials are disclosed in which two kinds of color formers are brought into contact and reacted by applying recording energy such as heat, pressure, and light. In addition, it is described that various colors such as red, orange, yellow, brown, and brown can be developed by appropriately selecting a color former. However, the black color development that is strongly demanded in the recording materials that are currently widely used is still insufficient.

As thermal recording materials using a non-phenolic developer, Patent Documents 4 and 5 disclose thermal recording materials having a coloring layer containing a colorless or light-colored dye precursor and a urea compound. Yes. However, these recording materials have a low color density and insufficient storage stability.
Patent Document 6 discloses a heat-sensitive recording material having a heat-sensitive coloring layer containing a colorless or light-colored dye precursor and a sulfonylurea compound. However, these recording materials have low whiteness and insufficient storage stability.

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel urea urethane compound exhibiting excellent performance when used as a color developer for a color former.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel color former excellent in image storability and color density and a recording material using the same, particularly a heat sensitive recording material, by using various urea urethane compounds.
Furthermore, the present invention relates to a novel color former whose performance has been improved by adding various additives to a urea urethane compound and a dye precursor, and a recording material using the same.

  As a result of intensive studies on the synthesis of various color former compounds, the present inventors have found that a specific compound exhibits surprisingly excellent performance, and have completed the present invention. Further, the inventors have found that a specific compound exhibits surprisingly excellent performance in combination with a dye precursor, and have completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention is as follows.
The first of the invention is a urea urethane compound represented by the following formula (IV).

(Wherein Z represents a phenyl group, Y1 represents a phenylene group or a methylenediphenyl group, and Y2 represents a phenylene group, and each may independently have a methyl substituent;

  The second of the invention is a urea urethane compound represented by the following formula (VI).

(In the formula, the hydrogen atom of the benzene ring may be substituted with a methyl group, and δ represents —SO ₂ —, —O—, — (S) _n —, — (CH ₂ ) _n —, —CO—, One selected from the group consisting of —CONH—, —NH—, —CH (COOR ₁ ) —, —C (CF ₃ ) ₂ — and —CR ₂ R ₃ —, or a case where it does not exist, R ₁ , R ₂ and R ₃ each represent a methyl group, and n is 1 or 2.)

  By using a specific urea urethane compound, a color former and a recording material excellent in image storability and color development sensitivity can be provided at low cost.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
Formula according to the first aspect of the present invention
10 ≧ (A + B) ≧ 3 (where A and B are integers of 1 or more)
The urea urethane compound satisfying the formula has at least one urea group (—NHCONH— group) and one urethane group (—NHCOO— group) in the molecular structure, and the total number of urea groups and urethane groups is 3 or more. Compounds present at 10 or less.

  Conventionally, such a compound has not been known and is a completely new compound. This novel compound is useful for recording materials that use recording energy such as heat and pressure. The molecular weight of the urea urethane compound is preferably 5000 or less, and more preferably 2000 or less. Further, the ratio of the urea group to the urethane group in the urea urethane compound molecular structure is preferably 1: 3 to 3: 1, and particularly preferably 1: 2 to 2: 1.

The method for synthesizing a urea urethane compound according to the first aspect of the present invention comprises a urea group (—NHCONH—
Group) and urethane group (—NHCOO— group) are not particularly limited as long as they are generated so that the total number of urea groups and urethane groups is 3 to 10, but isocyanate compound and OH group The method of making by reaction with a containing compound and an amine compound is easy and preferable.

  That is, the urea urethane compound according to the first aspect of the present invention uses, for example, an isocyanate having at least two or more isocyanate groups as a starting material, and leaves at least one isocyanate group of the isocyanate and other isocyanate groups and OH. A urethane group is formed by reacting with a group-containing compound, and then the remaining isocyanate groups of the two molecules of the urethane compound are reacted with water to bond them together, so that the total number of urea groups and urethane groups is at least three. A compound can be obtained.

  Further, for example, an isocyanate having at least two isocyanate groups is used as a starting material, and at least one isocyanate group of the isocyanate is left to react with another isocyanate group and an OH group-containing compound to form a urethane group. Next, the remaining isocyanate group and an amine compound having two or more amino groups are reacted to form a urea group, and the remaining amino group is reacted with the isocyanate compound to thereby form a urea group and a urethane group. A total of at least three urea urethane compounds can be obtained.

  In addition, the isocyanato group is first reacted with an amine compound to form a urea group, and then the remaining isocyanato group is reacted with an OH group-containing compound having two or more OH groups to form a urethane group. A urea urethane compound having a total number of urea groups and urethane groups of at least 3 can also be obtained by reacting an isocyanate compound.

  At this time, an isocyanate compound having two or more isocyanate groups is used as the isocyanate to be reacted last, and the remaining isocyanate group and an OH-containing compound having two or more OH groups or an amino group having two or more amino groups are used. By sequentially repeating the operation of reacting the compound, a urea urethane compound having a total number of urea groups and urethane groups of 3 to 10 can be obtained.

The starting isocyanate is not particularly limited as long as it has two or more isocyanate groups. For example, paraphenylene diisocyanate, 2,5-dimethoxybenzene-1,4-diisocyanate, 2,4 -Toluene diisocyanate, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, o-tolidine diisocyanate, diphenyl ether diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthylene diisocyanate, dianisidine diisocyanate, 9-eth Carbazole-3,6-diisocyanate, 3,3′-dimethyl-4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, triphenylmethane triisocyanate, tris (4-phenyl) Isocyanato) thiophos Fert, 4,4 ′, 4 ″ -triisocyanato-2,5-dimethoxytriphenylamine, 4,4 ′, 4 ″ -triisocyanatotriphenylamine, metaxylylene diisocyanate, lysine diisocyanate Dimer acid diisocyanate, isopropylidenebis-4-cyclohexyl isocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, methylcyclohexane diisocyanate and the like.

  A particularly preferred example is toluene diisocyanate. As the toluene diisocyanate, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate is preferable, but in addition to this, a mixture of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate is generally commercially available and inexpensive. It is possible to obtain this, and this may be sufficient. These toluene diisocyanate isomer mixtures are liquid at room temperature.

However, those having an amino group are not preferred as these diphenols. Since the amino group is more reactive with the isocyanato group than the OH group, the amino group may react with the isocyanato group first, and it may be difficult to obtain the target compound.

In order to obtain the urea urethane compound according to the second aspect of the present invention, the reactant may be mixed with an isocyanate in an organic solvent or without solvent, and then the crystals may be taken out by filtration. You may use a reactive agent individually or in multiple types according to the objective. The solvent may be anything as long as it does not react with the isocyanate group and the functional group of the reactant, for example, aliphatic hydrocarbon, alicyclic hydrocarbon, aromatic hydrocarbon, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon. Chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated alicyclic hydrocarbons, ketones and the like. In particular, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene and the like which dissolve isocyanate and have low product solubility are preferable. The product obtained by the above reaction operation is not necessarily a single product, and may be obtained as a mixture of compounds having different substituent positions.

The following compounds can be illustrated as specific examples of the second urea urethane compound of the present invention. ((E-1) to (E-43))

The urea urethane compound according to the second aspect of the present invention is useful for recording materials, for example.
The urea urethane compound as the developer according to the third aspect of the present invention refers to a compound having at least one urea group (—NHCONH— group) and one urethane group (—NHCOO— group) in the molecule.
Until now, it has been known that compounds having a urea group show a developing action, but the color density is low and the storage stability is low, which is not practical. Surprisingly, however, a urea urethane compound in which a urea group and a urethane group are present simultaneously in one molecule is an excellent developer of a colorless or light-colored dye precursor. The recording material has a high color density and excellent storage stability.

Although the mechanism by which such a urea urethane compound exhibits an excellent color developing action is unknown, it is presumed to be due to the interaction between the urea group and the urethane group in the molecule.
The urea urethane compound as the developer according to the third aspect of the present invention may be any compound as long as both a urea group (—NHCONH— group) and a urethane group (—NHCOO— group) are present in the molecule. An aromatic compound or a heterocyclic compound is preferable. Further, those in which an aromatic compound residue or a heterocyclic compound residue is directly bonded to both ends of a urea group and a urethane group are preferable. More preferably, in addition to a urea group (—NHCONH— group) and a urethane group (—NHCOO— group) in the molecule, a sulfone group (—SO ₂ — group), an amide group (—NHCO— group) or an isopropylidene group (— It is desirable that C (CH3) ₂ -group) is present without being directly bonded to the urea group.

The molecular weight of the urea urethane compound is preferably 5000 or less, and more preferably 2000 or less. The total number of urea groups and urethane groups in the urea urethane compound is preferably 20 or less, and more preferably 10 or less. Moreover, the ratio of the urea group to the urethane group in the urea urethane compound molecular structure is preferably 1: 3 to 3: 1, and particularly preferably 1: 2 to 2: 1.
In the thermosensitive recording material, a urea urethane compound having a melting point is preferable, and the melting point is preferably in the range of 40 ° C. to 500 ° C., particularly preferably in the range of 60 ° C. to 300 ° C.

The method for synthesizing the urea urethane compound as the developer according to the third aspect of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as the urea group (-NHCONH-group) and the urethane group (-NHCOO-group) are generated. A method of making by reacting an isocyanate compound with an OH group-containing compound and an amine compound is easy and preferable.
That is, the urea urethane compound as a color developer according to the present invention uses an isocyanate having at least two or more isocyanate groups as a starting material, leaves at least one isocyanate group of the isocyanate and other isocyanate groups and OH. The group-containing compound can be reacted to form a urethane group, and then the remaining isocyanate group and the amine compound can be reacted to form a urea group. Alternatively, the isocyanate group and the amine compound may be reacted first to form a urea group, and then the remaining isocyanate group and OH group-containing compound may be reacted to form a urethane group.

The starting isocyanate is not particularly limited as long as it has two or more isocyanate groups. For example, paraphenylene diisocyanate, 2,5-dimethoxybenzene-1,4-diisocyanate, 2,4 -Toluene diisocyanate, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, o-tolidine diisocyanate, diphenyl ether diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthylene diisocyanate, dianisidine diisocyanate, 9-ethyl Carbazole-3,6-diisocyanate, 3,3′-dimethyl-4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, triphenylmethane triisocyanate, tris (4-phenyl) Isocyanato) thioho Sulfate, 4,4 ′, 4 ″ -triisocyanato-2,5-dimethoxytriphenylamine, 4,4 ′, 4 ″ -triisocyanatotriphenylamine, metaxylylene diisocyanate, lysine diisocyanate Dimer acid diisocyanate, isopropylidenebis-4-cyclohexyl isocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, methylcyclohexane diisocyanate and the like. In addition, diisocyanate dimers such as N, N ′ (4,4′-dimethyl-3,3′-diphenyldiisocyanato) uretdione (trade name Desmodur TT), which is a dimer of toluene diisocyanate, A trimer such as 4,4 ′, 4 ″ -trimethyl 3,3 ′, 3 ″ -triisocyanato-2,4,6-triphenyl cyanurate may be used. Water adduct isocyanates such as toluene diisocyanate and diphenylmethane diisocyanate, such as 1,3-bis (3-isocyanato-4-methylphenyl) urea and polyol adducts such as trimethylolpropane adduct of toluene diisocyanate The name death module L) or an amine adduct body may be used. Of the isocyanate compounds and isocyanate adduct compounds described in Japanese Patent Application No. 8-225445 and Japanese Patent Application No. 8-250623, two or more isocyanate groups may be present.
A particularly preferred example is toluene diisocyanate. As the toluene diisocyanate, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate is preferable, but in addition to this, a mixture of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate is generally commercially available and can be obtained at low cost. It is possible, but this is also possible.
