Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、画像の保存性に優れた顕色剤として有用な新規な芳香族カルボン酸化合物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
感熱記録材料は、一般に支持体上に電子供与性の無色もしくは淡色の染料前駆体と電子受容性の顕色剤とを主成分とする感熱記録層を設けたもので、熱ヘッド、熱ペン、レーザー光等で加熱することにより、染料前駆体と顕色剤とが瞬時反応し、記録画像が得られるものであり、特公昭43−4160号公報、特公昭45−14039号公報等に開示されている。
【0003】
このような感熱記録材料は、比較的簡単な装置で記録が得られ、保守が容易であること、騒音の発生が少ないなどの利点があり、近年、電子計算機、ファクシミリ、券売機、ラベルプリンター、レコーダー等の記録材料として広範囲な分野に利用されている。
このような電子供与性染料前駆体と電子受容性顕色剤を用いた感熱記録材料は、外観がよい、感触がよい、発色濃度が高い等の優れた特性を有している反面、記録画像部が、ポリ塩化ビニルなどのプラスチック等と接触し、プラスチック中に含有される可塑剤や添加剤などにより消色したり、あるいは食品や化粧品等に含有される薬品と接触して容易に、記録画像部が消色またす地肌部が発色するなど、記録材料としての保存性が劣るという欠点を有していた。
【0004】
記録画像の高保存安定性を実現するための手段として高信頼性顕色剤の利用が従来から明らかにされている。例えば、特開昭58−82788号公報、特開昭60−13852号公報にはフェノールスルホン化合物が、特開昭61−47292号公報には安息香酸金属塩が、特開昭62−169681号公報には置換サリチル酸化合物が提案されているが、これらの化合物を顕色剤として用いた場合画像部の可塑剤に対する堅牢性の点では不十分であった。また、特開昭62−80089号公報にニトロフタル酸モノエステル化合物が開示されているが、このタイプも画像部の可塑剤に対する堅牢性の点では不十分であった。更に特開平6−255262号公報にはスルホニル尿素基を含む化合物が提案されているが、このタイプは画像部の可塑剤に対する堅牢性は優れているが、発色感度が極端に劣る欠点を有している。
また、特開平9−267566号公報には、ジアミック酸誘導体とその金属塩が提案されているが、これらの化合物は、高温環境下において画像部が大幅に消色してしまうという欠点を有している。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、画像部の高保存性、特に耐油性、耐可塑性、耐熱性に優れた画像を与える顕色剤として有用な新規な芳香族カルボン酸化合物を提供することをその目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明によれば、下記一般式(I)で表される芳香族カルボン酸化合物が提供される。
【化1】
(式中、Rは、ヒドロキシ基、又はパラ−トルエンスルホニルオキシ基を示す。また、Xは、炭素数2〜6のアルキレン基又は下記構造式
【化2】
で表わされる基を示す。)
また、本発明によれば、前記一般式(I)で表される芳香族カルボン酸化合物を含む感熱記録材料が提供される。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の化合物は、たとえば次の反応行程によって合成される。
【化3】
(式中、各記号は前記と同じ。)
上記の反応行程の反応における溶媒としては、一般的な有機溶媒の利用が可能であり、特に制限は無い。好ましい溶媒としては酢酸、無水酢酸等の酸性溶媒、アセトニトリル、アセトン、メチルエチルケトン、テトラヒドロフラン等の有機溶媒が挙げられる。
また、反応温度は、室温から溶媒の沸点の間、好ましくは、20〜50℃である。また、反応物質の精製は酸析、再結晶等の操作により行うことができる。
さらに、一般式(I)の化合物の置換基Rを導入する方法としては、置換基の導入に通常用いられる反応試薬、反応溶媒、反応条件、精製条件を適用することができる。
【0008】
次に、芳香族カルボン酸化合物の具体例を表1に示すが、本発明の芳香族カルボン酸化合物は、これらの中で、前記一般式(I)におけるRが、ヒドロキシ基又はパラ−トルエンスルホニルオキシ基であるものが該当する。即ち、これらのうち、化合物No.1、6、7、12、13、18、19、24、43、48、49、54、55、60、61、66、67、72、73、78、79、84、85、90、109、114、115、120、121、126、127、132が本発明例である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel aromatic carboxylic acid compound useful as a developer excellent in image storability.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A heat-sensitive recording material generally comprises a support on which a heat-sensitive recording layer mainly composed of an electron-donating colorless or light-colored dye precursor and an electron-accepting developer is provided. By heating with a laser beam or the like, the dye precursor and the developer react instantaneously to obtain a recorded image, which is disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication Nos. 43-4160 and 45-14039. ing.
[0003]
Such a heat-sensitive recording material has advantages such that recording can be obtained with a relatively simple device, maintenance is easy, and noise generation is low. In recent years, electronic computers, facsimiles, ticket vending machines, label printers, It is used in a wide range of fields as a recording material for recorders.
A heat-sensitive recording material using such an electron-donating dye precursor and an electron-accepting developer has excellent properties such as good appearance, good touch, and high color density, but it is a recorded image. Part is in contact with plastics such as polyvinyl chloride, erased by plasticizers and additives contained in plastics, or easily in contact with chemicals contained in foods and cosmetics. It has the disadvantage of poor storage stability as a recording material, for example, the image portion is decolored or the background portion is colored.
[0004]
The use of a highly reliable developer as a means for realizing high storage stability of a recorded image has been conventionally clarified.

Substituted salicylic acid compounds have been proposed, but when these compounds are used as developers, the fastness to the plasticizer in the image area is insufficient. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-80089 discloses a nitrophthalic acid monoester compound, but this type is also insufficient in terms of fastness to an image portion plasticizer. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-255262 proposes a compound containing a sulfonylurea group. This type has excellent fastness to a plasticizer in an image area, but has a disadvantage that the color development sensitivity is extremely inferior. ing.
JP-A-9-267666 proposes a diamic acid derivative and a metal salt thereof, but these compounds have a drawback that the image area is greatly decolored in a high temperature environment. ing.
[0005]
