Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of cyanine dyes with their methine chain showing group (M) and the charge compensation occuring by linked end groups through transformation of cationic cyanine dyes comprising group (D) with CH-acid compounds of the following formula (I) B.sub.1 --CH.sub.2 --B.sub.2 in an inert solvent, the substituents having the significance given in the description. ##STR1##
Abstract:
A color former for pressure- and heat-sensitive recording systems containinga) at least one 3,1-benzoxazine of the formula ##STR1## b) at least one fluoran of the formula ##STR2## c) at least one 3,1-benzoxazine of the formula ##STR3## and/or at least one lactone of the formula ##STR4## in which the substituents have the meanings given in the description, produces black colorations having good color intensity.
Abstract:
Dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## and their base derivatives, in which the radicals have the meaning given in the description, are outstandingly suitable for laser transfer printing or as optical recording materials.
Abstract:
Pressure-sensitive reactive recording material containinga) as the color-forming agent, a tetraindolylheptamethine ether or alcohol of the formulae I/1, I/2, I/3 or I/4 ##STR1## b) and, as the color developer, the salt of a polyvalent metal and an aromatic carboxylic acid having at least 10 carbon atoms, of the formula (II) ##STR2## wherein A, B, D and E denote ##STR3## and the other radicals have the meanings given in the description, produces light-stable copies which can also be read by machines (OCR).
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of sulpho-free triphenylmethane dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 -R.sup.3 denote hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, preferably methyl, or halogen, preferably chlorine,Y denotes hydrogen or NX.sup.5 X.sup.6,X.sup.1 -X.sup.6 denote hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, preferably methyl, ethyl, benzyl or phenyl andZ.sup.- denotes an anionby oxidation of their leuco products with manganese dioxide, characterized in that, after the oxidation is completed, manganese hydroxide or manganese carbonate and the carbinol base of the dyestuff are formed by the addition of hydroxide or carbonate, during or after which the carbinol base is taken up in a water-immiscible solvent, separated off from the manganese hydroxide or manganese carbonate and from the water phase, the solution is mixed with the acid HZ which may have been mixed with water, the solvent is either distilled off before the mixing or separated or distilled off after the mixing, and the dyestuff is isolated as a solution or in solid form after evaporation or crystallization.
Abstract:
Optical brighteners of the formula ##STR1## wherein B denotes a direct bond or the 1,4-phenylene radical andR.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently of one another denote hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl, or together form a fused aromatic ring,or the quaternisation products and protonation products thereof, are outstandingly suitable for the white tinting of polyester fibres or acrylic fibres. They are distinguished by a good build-up capacity and a small tendency to develop a green tone.
