cbpy~ng system~t to processe~ for the prepar~tion therflof5
and to pressure-sen~itive duplicating ~ystems, thermal
marking ~ystem~ and hectographic copying systems con~ining
the same.
Several cla~ses o organic compounds of widely di-
ver~e structural types are known to be useful a~ color
formere ~or carbon;ess duplicating sy6tems. Among the more
widely recognized classes, there may be named phenothiazines,
for example, benzoyl leuco methylene blue; fluorans, for
example, 2'-anllino-6'-diethylaminofluoran; phthalides, the
class wlth which this invention is concerned, for examplo,
crystal violet lactone; and various other types of color
formers currently employed in commercially accepted carbon-
less duplicating systems. Typical of the many such sy3tems
taught ln the prior art are those described in U.S. Patents
2,712,507, 2,800,4S7 and 3~041,289~
Many of the color formers in the prior art suffer
one or more dieadvantages ~uch as low tinctorial strength,
poor l$ght stability, low resistance to ~ublimation and low
solubility in common organic solvent , the latter disadvan-
2S tage thus requiring the use of specialized and expensive

above and the like~ Because of their low cost and readyavailability pyridlne and urea are preferred.
In accordance with one process the compounds
having Formula I, are obtained by reacting approximately
equimolar amounts of a 2-substituted benzoic acid of
Formula II and a diarylamine of Formula III in the anhydr-
ide of an alkanoic acid having from two to five carbon atoms,
such as acetic anhydride, with or without an inert diluent
and in the presence of an organic base, for example pyridine
or urea, at a temperature of from about 0 to 1005C. for
from approximately 10 minutes to 24 hours. The reaction
is usually carried out in the absence of an inert diluent
at about 20 to 40C. for approximately 0.5 to 2 hours. If
desired an excess of the diarylamine reactant can be
employed as the organic base~ The product thus obtained can
be isolated by filtration if it is insoluble in the reaction
medium or by dilution of the reaction medium with a miscible
solvent in which the product is insoluble such as a lower-
alkanol or low molecular weight hydrocarbon for example iso-

propyl alcohol or hexane or a mixture of these in order toeffect precipitation of the product. Alternatively, the
reaction mixture can be poured into aqueous base such as
dilute ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium carb-
onate or sodium bicarbonate and the product extracted with
an organic solvent such as benzene or tolue~e followed by
evaporation of the organic solvent leaving the pxoduct as
a residue. The product once isolated can be purified by
conventional means such as trituration or recrystallization
from a suitable solvent.

Some of the 2-substituted benzoic acids of Formula

is conveniently carried out in benzene in the presence of

For example, reactlon of a 3-substituted phthalic anhydride
tFormula VII where n i9 l and Q occupies position 31 with an
indole, pyrrole, carbazole, aniline or julolidine can produce
either a 3- or 6-~substituted 2-Z-CO-benzoic acid ~Formula
II where n i5 l and Q occupies either position 3 or position
6) or a mixture of these. Similarly, a 4-substituted phthalic
anhydride (Formula VII where n is l and Q occupies position
4) can produce either a 4- or a 5-substituted 2-Z-CO-benzoic
acid ~Formula II, where n is l and Q occupies position 4 or
position 5) or a mixture of these. The mixture of isomeric
2-Z-CO-benzoic acids can be separated by conventional means
such as fractional crystallization or ~hromatography. Alter-
natively, the isomeric mixtures can be reacted directly with
appropriate diarylamines of Formula III to produce isomeric
mixtures o~ phthalides of Formula I. Thus reaction of a
mixture of 3- and 6-substituted 2-Z-CO-benzoic acids ~Formula
II where n is l and Q occupies position 3 or 6) with a
diarylamine of Formula III will produce a mixture of 4- and
7-substituted phthalides ~ormula I where n is l and Q
occupies position 4 or 7~; and in like fashion a mixture of
4- and 5-substituted 2-Z-CO-benzoic acids (Formula II where
n is 1 and Q oacupies position 4 or 5~ will produce a mixture
of 5- and 6-substituted phthalides ~ormula I where n is l
and Q occupies position 5 or 6~. The mixtures of phthalides
can, if desired, be separated by conventional means or simply
and preferably used as mixtures in the practice of ~his inven-
tion.
The diarylamines of Formula III which are also
required as starting materials in the processes of the
0 invention belong to a well known class of compounds and
-16-



'7(~

are either commercially available or readily obtained byconventional procedures well known in the art~
The novel compounds of Formula I hereinabove are
essentially colorless in the depicted form. When contacted
with an acidic medium, for example silica gel or one of the
types ordinarily employed in pressure-sensitive carbonless
duplicating systems such as silton clay or phenolic resins
the compounds of Formula I develop a yellow to black colored
image of good to excellent tinctorial strength, and possess- -
ing excellent light stability, resistance to sublimation and
xerographic copiabilityO The compounds are thus highly
suitable for use as colorless precursors, that is color-
forming substances in pressure-sensitive carbonless duplica-
ting systems, The compounds which produce a yellow to red
color can be used as toners in admixture with other color
formers to produce images of a neutral shade which desirably
are readily copiable by xerographic means. The compounds
of ~ormula I wherein at least one of Yl and Y2 and at least
one of ~3 and Y4 are simultaneously di-lower-alkyl~mino
develop a brown to grape image when contacted with an acidic
medium and are accordingly of particular value as color
precursors. Moreover, the compounds of Formula I, in par-
ticular those wherein n is 1~ Q is COX and X is alkoxy ;:
having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, or those where one or more .
of Yl, Y2, Y3 and Y4 are alkyl of 1 to 9 carbon atoms, have
enhanced solubility in common and inexpensive organic
solvents such as odorless mineral spirits, kerosene, vege-
tablè oils and the like; and those wherein n is 1, Q is COX
and X is OM in which M has the previously given meaning are
soluble in water and lower-alkanols thereby avoiding the
-17-

need for more expenslve, speclalized solvents such as poly-
halogenated or alk~lated biphenyls which have ordinarily
been used to prepare microencapsulated solutions of the color
formers of the prior art~
The compounds of this invention may be incorporated
in any of the commercially accepted systems known in the
carbonless duplicating art~ A typical technique for such
application is as follows~ Solutions containing one or more
colorless precursor compounds of Formula I, optionally in
admixture with other color formers, in suitable solvents are
microencapsulated by well-known procedures for example as
described in U,Sc Patent 3~649~649O The microcapsules are
coated on the reverse side of a transfer sheet with the aid
of a suitable binder and the coated transfer sheet is then
assembled in a manifold with the microcapsule coated side
in contact with a receiving sheet coated with an electron
accepting substance~ ~or example, silton clay or a phenolic
resin, Application of pressure to the manifold such as
that exerted by a stylus~ typewriter or other form of writing
or printing causes the capsules on the reverse side to
rupture~ The solution of the color former released ~rom the
ruptured microcapsules flows to the receiving sheet and on
contact with the acidic medium thereon forms a yellow to
red colored image of good tinctorial strength~ It is, of
course, obvious that variants of this mode of application
can be utilizedQ For example, the receiving sheet in a
manifold can alternatively be coated with the subject com- :
pounds and the acidic developing agent can be contained in
microcapsules applied to the reverse side of the top sheet
:. 30 in the manifold: or the receiving sheet can be coated with
-18-

a mixture containing both the acidic developing agent and
the microencapsulated color former.
It has also been found that when the compounds
of Formula I are intimately mixed with an acidic developer
of the type generally employed in thermal papers such as
described in U.S. Patent 3,539,375, that is, paper which
produce a colored image when contacted with a heated
stylus or heated t~pe, for example, bisphenol A, heating
of the mixture produces a colored image of varying shades
from yellow to purple depending on the particular compound
of the invention employed. The ability of the compounds
of ~ormula ~ to form a deep color when heated in admixture
with an acidic developer such as bisphenol A, makes them
useful in thermal paper marking systems, either where an
original or a duplicate copy is prepared by contacting the
thermal paper with a heated stylus or heated type in any
of the methods generally known in the art. -
The compounds of this invention which are soluble
in water and lower-alkanols may be incorporated in any of .
the commercial hectographic or spirit-reproducing copying
systems such as described in British Patent 1,427,318. In ~-
such systems a transfer sheet coated on one side with a
layer containing one or more water- or lower alkanol-soluble
color formers of ~ormula I is placed with its coated surface
against one surface of a master paper which is then typed,
written or marked on, causing transfer of the coating as a
substantially colorless reverse image to the master paper at
the points where the transfer sheet and master paper have
been pressed togetherD The master paper is then brought
~;~ 30 into contact with a succession of sheets of paper moistened
--19--

7V~

with a suitable spirit~reproduclng fluid such as ethanol.
The fluid dissolves a part of the color former and transfers
it to each paper sheet where it combines with an electron-
accepting substance, to give a yellow to red colored image
which duplicates the original typing or writing on the
master paper.
The molecular structures of the compounds of
this invention were assigned on the basis of the modes of
synthesis, elemental analysis and study of their infrared,
nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra.
The following examples will further illustrate
the invention without, however, limiting it thereto.

10% aqueous polyvinyl alcohol and 70 ml. of zirconium grinding
beads. The coating mixture was made by combining and
thoroughly mixing 2.1 g. of the polyvinyl alcohol dispersion
of the color former with 47.9 g. of the polyvinyl alcohol dis-
persion of Bisphenol A. The coating mixture was applied (at
thicknesses of 0.003 in. and 0.0015 in.) to white mimeo paper
qheets and the sheets were dried at room temperature. Con-
tacting the coated sheets with a heated stylus at a tempera- .
ture between 110C. and 150C. produced a dark orange image
on the sheet coated with the color former of Example 34, a ~;
dark red image on the sheet coated with the color former of
Example 35 and a dark purple image on the sheet coated with
the color former of Example 42.
EXAMPLE 81
Following a procedure similar to that described in
Example 79 but substituting kerosene for isopropylbiphenyl
the color former of Example 66 was microencapsulated and coat-
ed on a transfer sheet. The color former developed a red image
on both type~ of receiving sheets.
EXAMPLE 82
Following a procedure similar to that described in
Example 79 but omitting the addition of starch to the micro-
capsule dispersion, the color former of Example 40 was micro-
encapsulated and coated on a tran~fer sheet. The color former

developed a black image on both types of receiving sheets.
The image formPd on the clay-coated receiving sheet turned
green on standing.
EXAMPLE 83
Following a procedure similar to that described in
Example 79 but omitting the addition of starch to the micro-
capsule dispersion, a mixture containing 0.876 g. of the
color former of Example 39 and 0.584 g. of crystal violet
lactone was microencapsulated and coated on a transfer sheet.
~he mixture of color formers developed a blue to black image
on resin-coated receiving sheets.
It is contemplated that by following procedures
similar to tho~e described in the foregoing Examples but
employing the appropriate 2-(3-indolyl) or [(4-disubstituted-
amino)benzoyl]benzoic acids of Formula II and appropriately
substituted diphenylamines of Formula III the phthalides of
Formula I wherein Z is
