Abstract:
A process which comprises admixing in the absence of a solvent an amine of the formula R1—NH2 and a first ester of the formula wherein R2 is an electron withdrawing group and R3 is an alkyl group; heating the mixture containing the amine and the first ester to form an intermediate compound of the formula admixing the intermediate compound with a base and a second ester of the formula said second ester being present in a molar excess relative to the intermediate compound, said base being present in a molar excess relative to the intermediate compound, and heating the mixture to form a pyridone compound of the formula or a salt thereof. Also disclosed is a process for preparing diazopyridone colorants which comprises preparing a pyridone compound by the above process and reacting the pyridone compound with a diazonium salt to form a diazopyridone compound.
Abstract:
A component containing a supporting substrate, and thereover a layer comprised of a alkylimido-monobenzamidazole-perinone-perylene or a bisalkylimido-perinone-perylene of the alternative following formulas wherein each of R1, R2 and R3 are, for example, independently alkyl or aryl.
Abstract:
A photoconductive imaging member containing a photogenerating layer and a triphenylamine charge transport layer of the formula or optionally mixtures thereof wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are each independently alkyl, aryl, hydrogen, alkoxy, and the like.
Abstract:
A mixture comprised of at least two perylenes and wherein the mixture includes symmetrical perylenes, unsymmetrical perylenes, and unsymmetrical perylenes with dissimilar R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 terminal substituents. The perylene mixtures can be selected for photoconductive imaging members.
Abstract:
Photoconductive imaging members comprised of a mixture of dimeric perylenes as a charge generator, wherein said mixture comprises at least perylenes encompassed by the following formulas, or mixtures thereof ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, oxaalkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, aralkyl or substituted aralkyl; and X is a symmetrical bridging moiety, and X--Y represents an unsymmetrical bridging moiety.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of toner compositions which comprises dissolving a polymer, and optionally a pigment in an organic solvent; dispersing the resulting solution in an aqueous media containing a surfactant, or mixture of surfactants; stirring the mixture with optional heating to remove the organic solvent thereby obtaining suspended particles of about 0.05 micron to about 2 microns in volume diameter; subsequently homogenizing the resulting suspension with an optional pigment in water and surfactant; followed by aggregating the mixture by heating thereby providing toner particles with an average particle volume diameter of from between about 3 to about 21 microns when said pigment is present.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of titanyl phthalocyanine Type X which comprises dissolving titanyl phthalocyanine Type I in a solution of trifluoroacetic acid and methylene chloride; adding the resultant solution to a solvent enabling precipitation of Type X titanyl phthalocyanine; separating the titanyl phthalocyanine Type X from the solution; followed by a first washing with an organic solvent and a second washing with water; and thereafter a solvent treatment with fluorobenzene.
