6 Claims, No Drawings COLOUR FORMERS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to colour formers and more particularly to coulourless colour formers suitable for use in pressure-sensitive copying systems.
2. Description of the Prior Art In known pressure-sensitive copying systems a colourless colour former, dissolved in a suitable solvent, is brought into contact with an electron-accepting substance whereupon a coloured image in the parent dyestuff is formed.
In one known system a sheet of pressure-sensitive copying paper comprising a paper base carrying the colour former in encapsulated form is placed in contact with a copy sheet comprising a paper base having an active mineral surface coating, for example a surface coating of a so-called acid clay. When local pressure is applied to the sheets by means of, for example, handwriting or typewriting, the capsules on the pressed portions are broken and the colour former comes into contact with the active mineral on the copy sheet and a coloured image of the original wrting is formed on the copy sheet.
Various colour formers for use in such systems are known, but a difficulty has always been that if a dark image, for example a black image, is required then a combination of different colour formers has been required. The use of combinations of colour formers can lead to difficulties in production and also difficulties in providing a copy sheet having an active surface able to react as necessary with the colour formers used.
Clearly it would be desirable to use a single colour former to provide a dark, for example a black image.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the invention there are provided colourless colour formers which. are compounds of the general formula:-
wherein R" R and each independently represents hydrogen, an optionally substituted alkyl radical having from one to five carbon atoms or forms part of a heterocyclic ring containing the attached nitrogen atom; R represents a halogen atom or an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkoxy, nitro, optionally substituted amino, acyl, carboxy, cyuno or sulphamyl radical; n represents an integer of from to 4; A represents an optionally substituted aromatic ring the points of attachment being at two pairs ofortho positions; Y represents a direct link, optionally substituted methylene, o xygen, sulphur or a group of the formula NR wherein R denotes hydrogen or an o tionally substituted alkyl. aryl or aralkyl radical;
and Z represents an optionally substituted divalent organic radical such that a fiveor six-membered ring is formed with Y, N R and A.
Alkyl radicals which may be represented by R and R include methyl and preferably ethyl. When R or R forms part of a heterocyclic ring containing the attached nitrogen atom this may be because R and R are joined together to form a divalent chain of atoms which together with the attached nitrogen atom constitutes a heterocyclic ring such as a pyrrolidine or morpholine ring.
A is preferably a benzene ring having points of attachment in the l, 2, and 4, 5 positions. Z may be a 1,2- phenylene radical.
The colour formers of the invention may be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula:
COOH
wherein R, R R and n have the significances already stated, with a compound of the formula:
whereinA, Y, Z and R have the significances already stated and R represents hydrogen or lower slkyl, the reaction being performed in the presence of a suitable condensing agent, preferably sulphuric acie or polyphosphoric acid.
The colour formers of the invention provide darker images than the colour formers which have generally been used to date, including black images in some cases, when reacted with a suitable electron-accepting substance. Such substances include silica and attapulgite, which is a so-called acid clay, and synthetic resins containing unreacted phenolic hydroxyl groups.
