International Classification:

G06K 946

US Classification:

382191, 382254

Abstract:

International Classification:

B32B 326

US Classification:

428307

Abstract:

A chromogenic compound having the structural formula ##STR1## wherein R. sup. 1 and R. sup. 2 each represent an alkyl group; R. sup. 3 and R. sup. 4 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a nitro group, an amino group, an acyl group, or a carboalkoxy group; R. sup. 5 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, with the proviso that R. sup. 5 represents an alkyl group only when R. sup. 4 represents a hydrogen atom; R. sup. 6 represents an alkyl group, an aryl group or an aralkyl group; and X and Y each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a lower alkyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group or a carboalkoxy group. The aforesaid compound may be provided in a pressure-sensitive copy system wherein a visible image is formed upon reaction of the above chromogenic compound with an electron-accepting material of the Lewis acid type.
