A heat-sensitive imaging element includes an IR dye, and more particularly a heat-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursor includes the IR dye. A method for making the lithographic printing plate produces a print-out image of high contrast upon exposure to IR-radiation or heating.

The present invention provides new intermediate compounds enabling the preparation of N-meso substituted cyanine, merocyanine or oxonole dyes wherein the N-meso substituent comprises electron withdrawing groups and wherein such N-meso substituents are introduced at the intermediate level. These intermediates enable the formation of dyes having in the meso-position N-substituents comprising electron withdrawing groups without the need for further derivatization of the meso-substituent at the dye level.
