Abstract:
This invention relates to derivatives of phthalaldehydic and naphthalaldehydic acid useful as intermediates in the preparation of pH-sensitive phthalide and naphthalide indicator dyes.A class of intermediates provided by the present invention comprises compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein A represents 4'-hydroxy-1'-naphthyl; B represents 4'-hydroxy-1'-naphthyl or indol-3-yl and C represents a 2-carboxy-1-phenyl radical or an 8-carboxy-1-naphthyl radical and preferably is 8-carboxy-1-naphthyl.
Abstract:
This invention relates to indole phthalein indicator dyes including phthalides and naphthalides wherein one of the indol-3-yl radicals is substituted with a hydrogen-bonding group on a carbon atom adjacent to the nitrogen atom of the indole ring. In a preferred embodiment, one of the indol-3-yl radicals is substituted with a hydrogen-bonding group and the other indol-3-yl radical is substituted with a hydrogen-bonding group or with an electron-withdrawing group. These indicator dyes, especially those of the preferred embodiment, possess a relatively high pKa and a relatively broad absorption spectrum in the visible range.
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A METHOD OF SYNTHESIZING INDICATOR DYES BY REACTING A 1-NAPHTHOL AND A PHTHALALDEHYDIC OR A NAPHTHALADEHYDIC ACID TO FORM THE CORRESPONDING 1:1 ADDUCT, AND REACTING THE ADDUCT WITH A 1-NAPHTHOL OR AN INDOL TO FORM A LEUCO DYE INTERMEDIATE WHICH IS OXIDIZED TO THE CORRESPONDING INDICATOR DYE PRODUCT. IN A PREFERRED AMBODIMENT, 3,3-DISUBSTITUTED (NA)PHTHALIDES ARE PREPARED WHEREIN THE 3,3 SUBSTITUENTS COMPRISE CARBOXY-SUBSTITUTED NAPHTHOL RADICALS WHICH INCLUDES THE ADDITIONAL STEP OF IONIZING THE LEUCO DYE IMTERMEDIATE PRIOR TO THE OXIDATION STEP.
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO PHOTOGRAPHY, AND MORE PARTICULARLY, IT RELATES TO THE USE OF CERTAIN INDICATOR DYES DERIVED FROM PHENOLS AS OPTICAL FILTER AGENTS TO PROTECT A SELECTIVELY EXPOSED PHOTOSENSITIVE MATERIAL FROM POSTEXPOSURE FOGGING IN PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES WHERE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHOTOSENSITIVE MATERIAL IS CONDUCTED IN THE PRESENCE OF EXTRANEOUS INDIDENT LIGHT. THIS CLASS OF PHENOL INDICATOR DYES CONTAIN A RING-CLOSING MOIETY BONDED TO TWO HYDROXY-SUBSTITUTED CARBOCYCLIC ARYL RADICALS SELECTED FROM TWO P-HYDROXYPHENYL RADICALS EACH POSSESSING A HYDROGEN-BONDING GROUP ADJACENT TO THE P-HYDROXY GROUP AND TWO P-PHYDROXYNAPHTHYL RADICALS AT LEAST ONE OF THE P-HYDROXYNAPHTYL RADICALS POSSESSING A HYDROGENBONDING GROUP ADJACENT TO THE P-HYDROXY GROUP. AT A FIRST PH IN ALKALINE SOLUTION THEY HAVE A HIGHLY COLORED, LIGHTABSORBING FORM CAPABLE OF ABSORBING RADIATION WITHIN A PREDETERMINED WAVELENGTH RANGE IN THE LONGER WAVELENGTH REGION OF THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM AND AT A SECOND LESS ALKALINE PH HAVE A COLORLESS FORM THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY NON-LIGHTABSORBING IN THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM. BY SELECTING A DYE FROM THIS CLASS WHICH IS IN ITS LIGHT-ASBORBING FORM AT THE PH AT WHICH DEVELOPMENT IS PREFORMED, PROTECTION OF THE EXPOSED PHOTOSENSITIVE MATERIAL FROM RADIATION ACTINIC THERETO IS AFFORDED WITHIN THE WAVELENGTH RANGE ABSORBED BY THE DYE AND SUBSEQUENT TO AT LEAST THE INITIAL STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT, THE DYE MAY BE RENDERED SUBSTANTIALLY COLORLESS BY ADJSTING THE PH TO PERMIT VIEWING OF THE FINAL IMAGE. IN A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT, THE PHENOL DYE OR DYES ARE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SECOND DYE OR DYES HAVING A PRINCIPAL ABSORPTION IN AT LEAST A PARTIALLY DIFFERENT WAVELENGTH RANGE, AND THE PHENOL DYE(S) AND SECOND DYE(S) TOGETHER AFFORD PROTECTION OVER THE WAVELENGTH RANGE OF ABOUT 400 MM. TO 700 MM.
Abstract:
A latent additive which is represented by general formula (1). (In the formula, A represents a five-membered or six-membered aromatic ring or heterocyclic ring; each of R1 and R2 independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a cyano group, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a carboxyl group, an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1-40 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6-20 carbon atoms, an arylalkyl group having 7-20 carbon atoms or a heterocyclic ring-containing group having 2-20 carbon atoms; and R4 represents an alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2-20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6-20 carbon atoms, an arylalkyl group having 7-20 carbon atoms, a heterocyclic ring-containing group having 2-20 carbon atoms or a trialkylsilyl group.)
