The colour-forming agents of the formula 1 can be prepared by processes which are known per se. One process comprises, for example, a procedure in which dyestuffs salts of the formula ##STR13## are reacted with bases of the formula
Mex (V)
wherein
R, X, Q and the rings A, B, C and D have the above-mentioned meaning,
Me denotes an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, in particular sodium or potassium and
An.sup.(-) denotes an anion from the series comprising chloride, bromide, acetate, sulphate, phosphate or ##STR14## in an organic solvent suitable for the reaction. After removal of the solvent if necessary, the mixture is then poured onto water and the compounds of the formula I are isolated.
Polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, hexamethyl-phosphoric acid triamide and alkanols, are a suitable reaction medium. Dimethylformamide and C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkanols are preferred.
Suitable reaction temperatures lie between 20.degree. and 120.degree. C., and 30.degree. to 80.degree. C. are preferred.
A particularly advantageous preparation process comprises a procedure in which ketones of the formula ##STR15## are subjected to a condensation reaction with amines of the formula ##STR16## or ketones of the formula ##STR17## are subjected to a condensation reaction with compounds of the formula ##STR18## in a one-pot reaction in the presence of a condensing agent which supplies an anion An.sup.(-), to give the colour salts of the formula (IV), and these are reacted with the bases (V) as described above, without intermediate isolation.
Phosphorus oxychloride and/or diphosphorus pentoxide are preferably used here as condensing agents.
The colour-forming agents of the formula I obtained can be marketed without further purification and can be used in pressure-sensitive recording material, in particular in microencapsulated materials.
The colour-forming agents of the formula I according to the invention are usually colourless or at most slightly coloured and have a very high solubility in the (chloro)hydrocarbons customary for encapsulation.
On contact with an acid developer, that is to say an electron acceptor, they give intense blue, green-blue, green, violet or red colour shades, which are excellently fast to sublimation and light. Navy blue, grey or black colorations can be achieved by mixtures with one another.
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, 2,6-diamino-fluoranes, leukoauramines, spiropyrans, spirodipyrans, chromenoindoles, phenoxazines, phenothiazines, carbazolyl-methanes or other triarylmethane leuko dyestuffs, to give green, violet, blue, navy blue, grey or black colorations.
They exhibit a high colour intensity, outstanding fastness to light and excellent ageing- and CB stability both on phenolic substrates and on salicylate and activated clays. They are suitable for pressure-sensitive recording material which can be used either as copying or as registering material. Their speed of development varies according to the substituents. However, they are in general distinguished by a high speed of development coupled with a reduced sensitivity of the recording materials to unintentional premature development.
By substitution with long-chain alkyl radicals, the solubility of the colour-forming agents is increased so that highly concentrated solutions in the solvents suitable for microencapsulation can be prepared.
Pressure-sensitive recording materials are known, for example, from U.S. patent specification Nos. 2,800,457 and 2,800,458.





EXAMPLE 1
13.5 g (0.05 mol) of 4,4'-diethoxybenzophenone and 10.4 g (0.05 mol) of N-methyl-N-phenyl-4-cyano-phenylamine are suspended in 38.2 g (0.25 mol) of phosphorus oxychloride, and 14.1 g (0.1 mol) of phosphorus pentoxide are added at room temperature. The mixture is stirred at 40.degree. C. for 20 hours. It is poured onto 500 ml of ice-water and stirred at room temperature for about 10-15 hours until the dyestuff separates out as crystals. Filtration with suction, washing with water and drying in vacuo at 40.degree. C. gives 24.1 g (97% of theory) of dark red-violet crystals of melting point: 69.degree.-75.degree. C.
A solution of 19.9 g (0.04 mol) of this dyestuff in 200 ml of ethanol is slowly added dropwise to 120 ml (0.12 mol) of an initial 1 molar sodium ethylate solution at room temperature. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 20 hours, the salt which has precipitated out is filtered off and the solvent is removed. The oily residue which remains is stirred into 500 ml of water and the mixture is cooled to about 10.degree. to 15.degree. C. and filtered. After drying in vacuo at room temperature, 18.5 g (91% of theory) of an almost colourless crystalline powder of melting point: 48.degree.-55.degree. C. and the formula ##STR19## are obtained.

EXAMPLE 2
If the procedure is as described in the above example, but 14.3 g (0.05 mol) of 4-methoxy-4'-methoxy-ethoxybenzophenone are used instead of 4,4'-diethoxybenzophenone and sodium isopropylate/isopropanol is used instead of sodium ethylate/ethanol, 19.5 g (72% of theory) of beige crystals of the formula ##STR20## which give a grey-black colour shade on acid clay and phenolic resin, are obtained.
Absorption in glacial acid .lambda..sub.max =556 nm and .lambda..sub.2 =440 nm.
EXAMPLE 3
If, as described in Example 1, 13.6 g (0.05 mol) of 2,4,4'-trimethoxybenzophenone are used instead of 13.5 g of 4,4'-diethoxybenzophenone in the preparation of the dyestuff, the reaction gives 23 g (92.4% of theory) of the corresponding dyestuff in the form of red-brown crystals with a metallic gloss.
10 g (0.02 mol) of this dyestuff are dissolved in 100 ml of dimethylformamide, and 10 g of 20% strength sodium hydroxide solution are slowly added at room temperature. After the reaction mixture has been stirred for 2 hours, it is poured onto 1 l of ice-water. After addition of 50 g of sodium chloride, the colourless crystalline precipitate is filtered off with suction. Drying in vacuo at 40.degree.

The reaction mixture is warmed to 40.degree. C. and is stirred at this temperature for 16 hours. The melt is cooled to 20.degree. C. and then dissolved in 150 ml of dimethylformamide, with cooling. 24 g (0.12 mol) of 20% strength sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise, with vigourous stirring, such that a temperature of 40.degree. C. is established. The mixture is subsequently stirred at 40.degree. C. for a further hour, the salt is filtered off and the solution is poured onto 500 ml of ice-water. After addition of 25 g of sodium chloride, the colourless crystalline precipitate is filtered off with suction and washed with 1% strength sodium hydroxide solution and water. Drying in vacuo gives 14.3 g (72.4% of theory) of the colour-forming agent of the formula ##STR22## with the melting range: 59.degree.-70.degree. C. A solution in glacial acetic acid is blue with .lambda..sub.max =576 nm and .lambda..sub.2 =480 nm.

C. gives 18.8 g (82.8% of theory) of a brownish crystalline powder.
17 g (0.03 mol) of this dyestuff are dissolved in 70 ml of dimethylformamide and the solution is filtered. 15 g of 20% strength sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise to the solution in the course of 1 hour. The mixture is stirred at 40.degree. C. for 2 hours and filtered and the solution is introduced into 500 ml of ice-water. After addition of 40 g of sodium chloride, the mixture is briefly stirred and filtered with suction. The filter cake is then suspended in 50 ml of methanol and is filtered off again with suction. Drying in vacuo gives 9.5 g (57.6% of theory) of a pale grey crystalline powder of melting point: 147.degree.-54.degree. C. of the formula ##STR24## which dissolves in glacial acetic acid and gives a blue colour with .lambda..sub.max =604 nm and .lambda..sub.2 =477 nm.

The mixture is stirred at 40.degree. C. for 20 hours and dissolved in 250 ml of methanol, with external cooling, so that the temperature does not rise above 50.degree. C. 24 g (0.12 mol) of 20% strength sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise, with thorough stirring, the temperature remaining between 40.degree. and 50.degree. C.
