Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method for producing a 1-[4-(biphenyl-4carbonyl)]phenylaminoanthraquinone colorant composition where the method comprises: reacting 4-halobenzoic acid with about 1 mole to about 4 moles of a halogenating agent per mole of said 4-halobenzoic acid to form a 4-halobenzoyl halide composition; reacting in the presence of a first catalyst composition, said 4halobenzoyl halide composition with biphenyl, in a solvent, to form a 1-[4-(biphenyl4-carbonyl)]halobenzene composition; and reacting in the presence of a second catalyst composition and an acid scavenger, said 1-[4-(4-phenylbenzoyl)]halobenzene composition with a 1-aminoanthraquinone, in a reaction medium comprising a dipolar aprotic solvent, to form said 1-[4-(biphenyl-4-carbonyl)]phenylaminoanthraquinone colorant composition.
Abstract:
An anthrapyridone composition of the formula: (I) is disclosed, where 'A' and 'B' are independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted cyclic ketone groups having from about 10 to about 20 ring carbon atoms; 'a' is an integer having a value from 0 - 4, R1 - R4 are monovalent substituents; with the proviso that when 'a' is 0, R1 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen, an alkyl group, a secondary amino group and an aminosulphonyl group; and R2 - R4 are substituents selected form the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocylic group, a halogen atom, a cyano group, a carbonyl containing group, an amino group and a sulphonyl-containing group. The anthrapyridones are useful as thermally stable colorants for producing colored polymer resins and articles that require high temperature polymer processing conditions.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a limited play optical storage medium for data comprises: a reflective layer (8), a control portion comprising an optically transparent polymeric resin and a light absorbing material, wherein the control portion has a light transmission of greater than or equal to about 70% at 650 nm, a curing index of greater than or equal to about 0.1 and a filtration index of greater than or equal to about 2.5, and wherein the light absorbing material has a minimum extinction coefficient (measured in CH2C12 solution) at 600 nm of greater than or equal to 1,500 mol-1 cm-1 L, a maximum extinction coefficient (measured in CH2C12 solution) at 650 nm of less than about 1,000 mol-1 cm-1 L, a ratio of extinction coefficient at 650 nm to 600 nm less than about 0.1, and a reactive layer (9) disposed between the reflective layer (8) and the control portion, wherein the reactive layer (9) is designed to limit the time during which data on the medium (disposed on a side of the reactive layer (9) opposite the control portion), can be accessed after exposure to oxygen.
