Lactone compounds containing an indolizine radical

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention pertains to novel chromogenic compounds which can give intense colors when they are contacted with an electron accepting co-reactant. More specifically, this invention relates to chromogenic compounds eligible for use in pressure-sensitive or heat-sensitive mark-forming record systems. Such systems are improved by use of these compounds. As used in mark-forming systems, marking in desired areas on support webs or sheets may be accomplished by effecting localized reactive contact between the chromogenic material and the electron accepting material on or in such a web or sheet, such material being brought thereto by transfer, or originally there in situ, the desired reactive contact forming colored images in the intended image-marking areas.
The chromogenic compounds of this invention have the following general formula: ##STR2## wherein E represents a benzene nucleus which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more halogen, alkyl or dialkylamino groups, or, as a heterocyclic ring, E represents mainly a nitrogen containing heterocycle of aromatic character such as a pyridine or pyrazine ring. The ring E may also contain a condensed aromatic ring representing, for example, a naphthalene, quinoline or quinoxaline ring, which may be substituted by one or more halogen groups,
A represents an optionally substituted aminophenyl, indolyl, benzoindolyl, julolidinyl or kairolyl radical, or the radical represented by B,
B represents a family of indolizine radicals.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
The chromogenic compounds of this invention are eligible for use in pressure-sensitive and thermally-sensitive mark-forming systems. Pressure-sensitive mark-forming systems provide a marking system of disposing on and/or within sheet support material unreacted mark-forming components and a liquid solvent in which one or both of the mark-forming components is soluble, said liquid solvent being present in such form that it is maintained isolated by a pressure-rupturable barrier from at least one of the mark-forming components until application of pressure causes a breach of the barrier in the area delineated by the pressure pattern. The mark-forming components are thereby brought into reactive contact, producing a distinctive mark.
The pressure-rupturable barrier, which maintains the mark-forming components in isolation preferably comprises microcapsules containing liquid solvent solution. The microencapsulation process utilized can be chosen from the many known in the art. Well known methods are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,800,457, 3,041,289, 3,533,958, 3,755,190, 4,001,140 and 4,100,103. Any of these and other methods are suitable for encapsulating the liquid solvent containing the chromogenic compounds of this invention.
The method of marking comprises providing a chromogenic compound of the present invention and bringing such chromogenic compound into reactive contact, in areas where marking is desired, with an acidic color-activating substance to produce a colored form of the chromogenic compound.
The acidic materials can be any compound within the definition of a Lewis acid, i.e. an electron acceptor. These materials include clay substances such as attapulgite, bentonite and montmorillonite and treated clays such as silton clay as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,622,364 and 3,753,761, materials such as silica gel, talc, feldspar, magnesium trisilicate, pyrophyllite, zinc sulfate, zinc sulfide, calcium sulfate, calcium citrate, calcium phosphate, calcium fluoride and barium sulfate, aromatic carboxylic acids such as salicylic acid, derivatives of aromatic carboxylic acids and metal salts thereof as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,022,936 and acidic polymeric material such as phenol-formaldehyde polymers, phenol-acetylene polymers, maleic acid-rosin resins, partially or wholly hydrolyzed styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers and ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymers, carboxy polymethylene and wholly or partially hydrolyzed vinyl methyl ether maleic anhydride copolymers and mixtures thereof as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,672,935.
Particularly useful as acid color-activating substances are the metal-modified phenolic resins. Record sheet material coated with such resins is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,732,120. An example of the compositions which can be coated onto the surface of a sheet to react with the chromogenic compounds of this invention is as follows:

Nos. 3,732,120 and 3,455,721 (CF 1), silton clay (CF 2), or a metal salt of an aromatic carboxylic acid described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,022,936 (CF 3). These CB-CF couplets were then subjected to a calender intensity (CI)test.
A CI test is essentially a rolling pressure test and is conducted to determine the amount of color developed from the transfer of marking liquid obtained by such rolling pressure. The results are reported as the ratio of the reflectance of the marks produced on the CF sheet as compared to the background reflectance of the CF paper (I/I.sub.o) expressed as a percentage. In the CI test the lower the value, the more intense the mark.
The CI results listed in Table XIV were obtained from the indicated CB-CF pairs:

EXAMPLE 43
Preparation of 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-3-(1-methyl-2-phenylindolizin-3-yl)naphthalide
A mixture of 3.2 grams of 8-(p-dimethylaminobenzoyl)-1-naphthoic acid, 2.1 grams of 2-phenyl-1-methylinodolizine and 25 ml. of acetic anhydride was stirred at 94.degree. C. for 24 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled and poured into a mixture of ice, ammonia and toluene. The toluene was dried by means of phase separating paper. The solution was concentrated and diluted with petroleum ether. Filtering yielded 3.3 grams of product which was recrystallized to a constant melting point of 171.degree.-171.5.degree. C.
A solution of the product when applied to a record sheet material coated with a zinc-modified phenolic resin produced a green color, and when applied to a record sheet material coated with silton clay produced a blue color.
EXAMPLES 44-47
According to substantially the same procedure as described in Example 43, 8-(p-dimethylaminobenzoyl)-1-naphthoic acid was reacted with a substantially equimolar amount of substrate reactant B in the presence of acetic anhydride with heating. The reaction product was separated and recrystallized to a constant melting point. A solution of each product was used to produce a color on record sheet material coated with a zinc-modified phenolic resin and on record sheet material coated with silton clay. These reactants and the results obtained are listed in Table XV.

A solution of 1.23 grams (0.004 mole) of (1-ethyl-2-methylindol-3-yl) (3-carboxypyridin-2-yl)ketone and 1.06 grams (0.004 mole) of 1-carboethoxy-2-phenylindolizine in 10 ml. of acetic anhydride was heated 1.5 hours at 60.degree. C.
The solution was poured into 150 ml. of water and slowly brought to pH 7.0 with 20% sodium hydroxide solution. To minimize hydrolysis of the ester the final pH adjustment was made with dilute sodium bicarbonate solution.
The isolated solid was dissolved in toluene and treated with activated carbon and a little Al.sub.2 O.sub.3. The toluene solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to leave 1.79 grams (80%) of desired product. On TLC (silica) there was developed an overwhelming amount of major blue isomer and a smaller amount of slower moving blue isomer.
An aliquot was chromatographed on a small alumina column to give nearly white product, m.p. 169.degree.-171.degree. C. This was exclusively the major isomer.

The mixture was poured into water and slowly brought to pH 9.0 with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. After 2 hours stirring at room temperature the solid was filtered and finally a 10 ml. mixture of 50% acetone-water was added. There was obtained 2.2 grams of light tan solid, m.p. 172.degree.-175.degree. C. This was further pulverized and washed on a filter with 5 ml. of acetone. There remained 1.70 grams (72.6%) of light cream colored solid, m.p. 186.5.degree.-188.0.degree. C.

EXAMPLE 52
Preparation of Bis-7,7-(1-carboethoxy-2-phenylindolizin-3-yl)-5,7-dihydrofuro[3,4-b]pyridin-5-one
A mixture of 0.15 gram (0.001 mole) of quinolinic anhydride, 0.53 gram (0.002 mole) of 1-carboethoxy-2-phenylindolizine and 10 ml. of acetic anhydride was heated at 75.degree. C. The materials slowly went into solution and a green color developed. After 2 hours a substantial amount of the indolizine was still unreacted. The temperature was raised to 85.degree. C. for an additional 2 hours. TLC on an aliquot showed increased product spots and reduced starting indolizine. The reaction was continued for an additional 16 hours at 60.degree. C.
The solution was poured into 100 ml. of water and slowly brought to pH 8.5 with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. The somewhat sticky mass was extracted into toluene. Evaporation of the toluene layer left 0.46 gram. TLC (silica) of this showed a small amount of unreacted indolizine, a faster moving green and a lower moving green.
The material was chromatographed on 10 grams of Silica gel. A center cut was made to give 0.17 gram of solid product. This still contains a mixture of the isomers.
A toluene solution of each product of examples 43-47 was used to produce a color on record sheet material coated with a zinc-modified phenolic resin an on record sheet material coated with silton clay. These reactants and the results obtained are listed on Table XVI.
