Chromogenic azaphthalides of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently of each other are hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, hydroxyl, cyano or lower alkoxy, or are cycloalkyl, benzyl or phenyl, or benzyl or phenyl which are substituted by halogen, nitro, cyano, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or lower alkoxycarbonyl; or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached are a 5-membered or 6-membered heterocyclic radical and in particular pyrrolidinyl; X is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, benzyl, phenyl, benzyloxy, phenoxy, or benzyl or benzyloxy which are substituted by halogen, nitro, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy; Y is hydrogen, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl or benzyl or acyl and in particular C.sub.6 -C.sub.9 alkyl; Z is hydrogen, lower alkyl or phenyl; and the ring A is a pyridine radical and the benzene nucleus b is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, nitro, cyano, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkoxycarbonyl, amino, lower alkyl alkylamino or di-(lower alkyl)-amino as well as a novel process for the preparation of 4-azaphthalides. The azaphthalides are useful color formers for pressure-sensitive or heat-sensitive recording materials and produce, in particular, strong, lightfast blue colorations.
化学式为##STR1## 的色原体,其中R.sub.1和R.sub.2独立地为氢,未被取代或被卤素,羟基,氰基或低烷氧基取代的C.sub.1-C.sub.12烷基,或为环烷基,苄基或苯基,或为被卤素,硝基,氰基,低烷基,低烷氧基或低烷氧羰基取代的苄基或苯基;或者R.sub.1和R.sub.2与它们所附着的氮原子一起是一个5-成员或6-成员的杂环基团,特别是吡咯烷基;X为氢,卤素,低烷基,低烷氧基,苄基,苯基,苄氧基,苯氧基,或被卤素,硝基,低烷基或低烷氧基取代的苄基或苄氧基;Y为氢,未被取代或被取代的烷基或苄基或酰基,特别是C.sub.6-C.sub.9烷基;Z为氢,低烷基或苯基;环A为吡啶基团,苯环b未被取代或被卤素,硝基,氰基,低烷基,低烷氧基,低烷氧羰基,氨基,低烷基烷基氨基或二(低烷基)氨基取代,以及一种新型的4-氮杂萘的制备方法。这些氮杂萘是压敏或热敏记录材料的有用色形成剂,产生特别是强,耐光的蓝色着色。
