4,4-Diaryl-dihydroquinazolones which are also to be especially mentioned are those of the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sup.6 denotes hydrogen, chlorine, methyl or methoxy,
X.sup.8 denotes hydrogen, chlorine, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, benzyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, benzyloxy, methylthio, ethylthio, acetylamino, benzoylamino or NHCONHR.sup.5,
and wherein
R.sup.6 and X.sup.8 do not simultaneously represent hydrogen, and
R.sup.5, Y.sup.7 and Y.sup.8 have the meaning given in the case of formula (III). The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a 4,4-diaryl-dihydroquinazolone of the formula (I), characterised in that a urea compound of the formula ##STR8## is reacted with a ketone of the formula ##STR9## wherein X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, A, B and C have the abovementioned meaning.
The compounds (V) are, in particular, those in which
X.sup.3 is an electron donor substituent, such as NY.sup.1 Y.sup.2, OY.sup.3 or SY.sup.3,
wherein
Y.sup.1 to Y.sup.3 have the abovementioned meaning and the ring C is not deactivated by powerful electron acceptor substituents, such as, for example, nitro, cyano or alkoxycarbonyl.
The reaction is usually carried out with reagents which split off water, with or without solvents which are inert under these conditions at temperatures between 0.degree. C. and the boiling point of the particular medium. After removal of the inert solvents, if necessary, the mixture is then discharged onto, for example, water or an alcohol. The 4,4-diaryl-dihydroquinazolones of the formula I are obtained by increasing the pH value with, for example, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, ammonia or amines until the colour of this mixture disappears. It may be necessary here, in order to split off the water from any carbinol bases which may have formed, to warm the mixture for some time or to treat the impure product primarily obtained in solvents, such as alcohols--for example methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol or butanol, nitriles--for example acetonitrile, ketones--for example acetone or 2-butanone, or esters--for example ethyl acetate or butyl acetate, for some time at temperatures between room temperature and the boiling point of the particular medium.
Examples of reagents which split off water are phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus pentachloride, diphosphorus pentoxide, phosgene, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus tribromide, sulphuryl chloride, thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride or mixtures thereof. Phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus oxychloride/diphosphorus pentoxide are preferably employed.
Examples of suitable inert solvents are toluene, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, nitrobenzene and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as 1,2-dichloro-ethane.
The 4,4-diaryl-dihydroquinazolones of the formula (I) can also be prepared by oxidation of leuco compounds of the formula ##STR10## wherein X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, A, B and C have the abovementioned meaning.
This oxidation can be carried out in a known manner with metal compounds of a relatively high valency, such as PbO.sub.2, permanganates, CrO.sub.3, chromates, dichromates, NiO.sub.2 or K.sub.3 [Fe(CN).sub.6 ], with quinones, such as chloranil, tetrachloro-o-quinone or dichloro-dicyanoquinone, or in another manner which is known from the literature, such as, for example, with oxygen, air, perborates or hydrogen peroxide.
The working up, isolation and any after-treatment are carried out in a manner analogous to those described above.
The oxidation with metal compounds of the relatively high valency is usually carried out in an acid medium or in organic solvents, such as alcohols-for example ethanol, isopropanol or ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ketones-for example acetone, butanone or methyl isopropyl ketone, or polar aprotic solvents, for example N-methyl-pyrrolidone, .gamma.-butyrolactone, acetonitrile, dimethylsulphoxide or sulpholane, or in mixtures of such solvents with acids, at temperatures between 0.degree. C. and 60.degree. C., preferably at 10.degree.-40.degree. C.
Examples of suitable acids are hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid or mixtures with one another and/or mixtures with water. A preferred mixture is hydrochloric acid, acetic acid and water.
The oxidation with quinones is usually carried out in organic solvents, such as alcohols--for example methanol, ethanol or isopropanol; ketones--for example acetone or butanone; esters--for example ethyl acetate or butyl acetate; carboxylic acids--for example acetic acid or propionic acid; or polar aprotic solvents, such as N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, .gamma.-butyrolactone, acetonitrile or sulpholane, or in mixtures thereof, at temperatures between 0.degree. C. and the boiling point of the medium, preferably at 20.degree.-70.degree. C.
The 4,4-diaryl-dihydroquinazolones of the formula (I) are usually colourless or at most slightly coloured.
When these colour-forming agents are brought into contact with a developer, which is preferably acid, that is to say with an electron acceptor, intensive blue, green-blue or green colour shades which are excellently fast to sublimation and light result.
They are also useful when mixed with one or more other known colour-forming agents, for example 3,3-bis-(aminophenyl)-phthalides, 3,3-bis-(indolyl)-phthalides, 3-amino-fluoranes, 3,6-diamino-fluoranes, leuco-auramines, spiropyrans, spirodipyrans, chromenoindoles, phenoxazines, phenothiazines, carbazolylmethanes or other triarylmethane leuco dyestuffs, to give blue, navy blue, grey or black dyeings.
The 4,4-diaryl-dihydroquinazolones of the formula (I) exhibit a good colour intensity and fastness to light both in phenolic substrates, and, in particular, on activated clays. They are suitable, above all, as colour-forming agents for use in a heat-sensitive or pressure-sensitive recording material, which can be either a copying or registering material. Their rate of development differs, depending on the substituents. A slow rate of development leads to a reduced sensitivity of the recording materials towards unintentional premature development.
Some of the 4,4-diaryl-dihydroquinazolones of the formula I, chiefly those in which R.sup.2 denotes an optionally substituted alkyl radical, are colour-forming agents with develop decidedly slowly. Because of their good fastness to light, they are suitable as mixing components for colour-forming agents which develop rapidly but which have little fastness to light, for example crystal violet lactone. The fastness to light of the recording is thus improved.
A pressure-sensitive material consists, for example, of at least one pair of sheets which contain at least one colour-forming agent of the formula I dissolved or dispersed in a non-volatile organic solvent, and an electron acceptor as the developer.
Typical examples of such developers are inorganic substances, such as clays, metal salts or oxides or organic polymers, such as phenolic resins.
The developers can additionally also be used as a mixture with other pigments which are unreactive per se or have little reactivity.
At the points where it comes into contact with the electron acceptor, the colour-forming agent produces a coloured marking. In order to prevent premature activation of the colour-forming agents present in the pressure-sensitive recording material, these are as a rule separated from the electron acceptor. This can advantageously be achieved by incorporating the colour-forming agents in foam-like, sponge-like or honeycomb-like structures. The colour-forming agents are preferably enclosed in microcapsules, which as a rule can be crushed under pressure. Processes for the preparation of such microcapsules are known.
Examples of suitable non-volatile solvents are partially hydrogenated terphenyl, alkylated napthalenes or dibutyl phthalate.
An arrangement in which the encapsulated colour-forming agent is present in the form of a layer on the reverse side of a transfer sheet and the electron acceptor is present in the form of a layer on the front side of a receiver sheet is preferred.
Another arrangement of the constituents is that in which the microcapsules containing the colour-forming agent, and the developer are present in or on the same sheet in the form of one or more individual layers or in the paper pulp.
The compounds of the formula I can preferably also be used as colour-forming agents in a thermoreactive recording material. This as a rule contains at least one carrier for the layer, a colour-forming agent, an electron acceptor and, if appropriate, also a binder.
Thermoreactive recording systems include, for example, heat-sensitive recording and copying materials and papers. These systems are used, for example, for recording information, for example in electronic calculators, teleprinters, telex machines or recording equipment and measuring instruments, such as, for example, electrocardiographs. The production of the image (marking) can also be effected manually with a heated pen. Another arrangement for producing markings by means of heat are laser beams.
The thermoreactive recording material can be built up such that the colour-forming agent is dissolved or dispersed in a binder layer and the developer is dissolved or dispersed in the binder in a second layer. Another possibility is that in which both the colour-forming agent and the developer are dispersed in one layer. The binder is softened in specific ranges by means of heat and, at these sites where heat is applied, the colour-forming agent comes into contact with the electron acceptor and the desired colour develops immediately.
Suitable developers are the same electron acceptors as those used in pressure-sensitive papers, preferably phenolic compounds, such as are described, for example, in German Patent Specification No. 1,251,348, as well as boric acid and organic, preferably aliphatic dicarboxylic acids.
Fusible, film-forming binders are preferably used to prepare the thermoreactive recording material. These binders are usually water-soluble, whilst the 4,4-diaryl-dihydroquinazolones and the developer are sparingly soluble or insoluble in water. The binder should be capable of dispersing and fixing the colour-forming agent and the developer at room temperature.
Under the action of heat, the binder softens or melts, so that the colour-forming agent comes into contact with the developer and a colour can form. Examples of water-soluble or at least water-swellable binders are hydrophilic polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, hydroxyethylcellulose, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylamide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatine and starch.
The thermoreactive layers can contain further additives: to improve the degree of whiteness, to facilitate printing of the papers, to prevent the heated pen from sticking and to form the colour only within a limited temperature range.
The processes and formulations described are known, for example, from U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,948,753, 3,096,189 and 3,193,404 and from German Offenlegungsschriften Nos. 2,555,080 and 2,700,937.
