が知られている。Heat-sensitive recording materials that utilize a color-forming reaction under heating between normally colorless or light-colored leuco dyes and phenols or organic acids are disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 43-4160 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 45-14039.
It is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 48-27736, etc., and has been widely put into practical use. In recent years, such heat-sensitive recording materials have been known to form colored images simply by heating;
Due to its advantages such as the fact that the recording device can be made relatively compact, it is widely used as a variety of information recording materials. In particular, the devices of thermal facsimiles, thermal printers, etc. that use such thermal recording materials have been improved, and it has become possible to perform high-speed printing and high-speed image formation, which was previously considered difficult. As the speed of such equipment and hardware increases, the heat-sensitive recording media used are required to have significantly improved recording sensitivity than before. Many proposals have been made to meet this requirement, but
Many of these proposals involve combinations of dye precursors and color developers.
or is further characterized by the combined use of a thermofusible substance. The above-mentioned thermofusible substance is also called a sensitizer, and examples include 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid phenyl ester (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 191089/1989), p-benzylbiphenyl (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 82382/1982), Benzyl naphthyl ether (JP-A-58-87094),

となる。上記のように熱可融性物質は従来数多く提案さ
れてきたが、上記の条件を全て満たすものは少なく、従
って新しい材料の出現が求められていた。When a heat-sensitive recording medium containing a thermofusible substance as described above is heated, the thermofusible substance first melts, which dissolves the dye precursor and the color developer, so that both are dissolved at the molecular level. They mix together and a color reaction is induced. Therefore, these thermofusible substances have a suitable melting point (preferably 60-140
°C) and must have excellent compatibility with the dye precursor and color developer. It is also important not to reduce the whiteness of the heat-sensitive recording medium, and for this purpose, it is desirable that the thermofusible substance has extremely low solubility in water, and also has properties such as low sublimation. It is desirable to be present. The sublimability of thermofusible substances is
In particular, it is thought to be closely related to the so-called whitening phenomenon in which the heat-colored portion of a heat-sensitive recording material becomes powdery over time, and is an extremely important property for the practical use of a heat-sensitive recording material. As mentioned above, many thermofusible materials have been proposed in the past, but there are few that satisfy all of the above conditions, and therefore there has been a demand for new materials.

The purpose is to provide a thermosensitive recording medium.

とを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。The present inventors discovered that the use of the thermofusible substance of the above formula (I) as a sensitizer has been proposed as a typical thermofusible substance (Japanese Patent Publication No. 14531/1983), and Compared to the use of higher fatty acid amides such as stearic acid amide and palmitic acid amide, which are in practical use, there is no reduction in whiteness, and the phenomenon of whitening that deteriorates the quality of colored images over time. The inventors have discovered that a heat-sensitive coloring layer having extremely high recording sensitivity can be obtained without experiencing the above problems, and have completed the present invention.

。下記反応式中、Ar及びRは前記定義に同じである。The present invention is directed to a thermosensitive recording material that utilizes a color reaction between a colorless or monochromatic basic leuco dye (dye precursor) and a color developer that can develop a color by contacting the dye precursor. It is characterized in that the heat-sensitive coloring layer contains the compound of formula (I) above. The reason why a specific thermofusible substance (hereinafter referred to as a sensitizer) as mentioned above improves the coloring sensitivity of a thermosensitive coloring layer is not fully clear, but the reason is that this compound has a low viscosity in the molten state and is a dye precursor. It is assumed that part of the reason for this is that it has appropriate compatibility with the body and color developer. Furthermore, the reason why the compound of formula (1) above does not reduce the whiteness of the thermosensitive coloring layer is because it is poorly soluble in water, and furthermore, the compound of formula (1) deteriorates the recorded image quality such as whitening. It is thought that the reason why this is extremely rare is due to its low sublimability. However, the inventor does not adhere to this interpretation. Specific examples of the sensitizer of formula (1) used in the present invention include the following: 60'! ″

The printed area was left in an environment of 40°C and 590% for 24 hours, and changes in the surface were sensory evaluated. In Table 1, “
"Good" indicates that no change in the colored printed area is observed.
"Defect" indicates that so-called whitening, in which the printed surface becomes powdery, has occurred.
