Described are novel reversible photochromic naphthopyran compounds, examples of which are compounds having a cycloalkyl ester substituent at the number 5 carbon atom and optionally certain substituents at the number 6 carbon atom of the naphtho portion of the naphthopyran and certain substituents at the 2-position of the pyran ring. Substituents may also be present at the number 7, 8, 9 or 10 carbon atoms of the naphtho portion of the naphthopyran. These compounds may be represented by the following graphic formulae:
Also described are various substrates, e.g., paper, glass, organic polymeric materials, etc., that contain or that are coated with such compounds. Optically clear articles such as ophthalmic lenses or other plastic transparencies that incorporate the novel naphthopyran compounds or combinations thereof with complementary photochromic compounds, e.g., certain other naphthopyrans, indenonaphthopyrans, benzopyrans, oxazine-type compounds, etc., are also described.
本文介绍了一种新型可逆光致变色萘并吡喃化合物,其中一些化合物在萘环部分的第5个碳原子处具有环烷酯基取代物,还可以在萘环部分的第6个碳原子处和吡喃环的2位处具有某些取代基。此外,萘并吡喃的第7、8、9或10个碳原子处也可能存在取代基。这些化合物可以用以下图式表示:本文还介绍了各种基质,例如纸张、玻璃、有机聚合材料等,这些基质包含或涂覆有这些化合物。此外,还介绍了光学透明的物品,例如眼镜镜片或其他塑料透明物品,它们包含新型萘并吡喃化合物或与互补光致变色化合物(例如其他萘并吡喃、茚诺萘并吡喃、苯并吡喃、噁唑型化合物等)的组合。
