Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance background light fastness, by using 2-anilino-3-methyl-6-N- ethylhexylaminofluorane having a specific m.p. as a leuco dye. CONSTITUTION:As a leuco dye, 2-anilino-3-methyl-6-N-ethylhexylaminofluorane having m.p. of 155-157 deg.C characterized by an X-ray diffraction pattern showing a strong peak at diffraction angles (theta) of 11.8 deg., 12.4 deg., 16.1 deg., 21.6 deg., 21.8 deg. in an X-ray diffraction method due to Cu-Kalpha rays is used. There are two crystal transformations in this compound and background light fastness is different by the difference of said crystal transformations. That is, a crystal (referred to as '-type transformation) with m.p. of 149-151 deg.C obtained by a usual precipitation method makes the light fastenss of thermal recording paper inferior and a crystal (referred to as beta-type transformation) with m.p. of 155-157 deg.C precipitated in a reduced amount of a solvent at high temp. imparts good background light fastness.

It was revealed that 3-methyl-6-N-ethylhexylaminofluorane has excellent properties such as color development sensitivity, but it was found that 3-methyl-6-N-ethylhexylaminofluorane is excellent in various properties such as color development sensitivity. When producing thermal recording paper, it was found that the surface light resistance of the resulting thermal recording paper was poor (the surface yellowed when exposed to sunlight).The present invention was developed as a result of intensive studies to improve this point. It has been reached.

That is, a melting point of 149 to 151 obtained by a normal crystallization method.
"C crystals (referred to as α-type modification) have poor light resistance on the surface of heat-sensitive recording paper, and crystals with a melting point of 15 are obtained by reducing the amount of solvent and crystallizing at a high temperature.
Crystals of 5 to 157″C (referred to as β-type modification) have good surface light resistance.In addition, the similar compound 2-anilino-3-methyl-6-N-ethyl-1S○-pentylaminofluorane Also melting point 165-167℃ and 170-17℃
There are two crystal modifications at 2°C, but in the case of this compound, the one with a lower melting point obtained by a normal crystallization method has better surface light resistance.
