Description

SPECIFICATION Solvent for dyestuffs to be used in self-copying papers This invention aims to provide a solvent for the dyestuffs to be employed with advantage in the field of the self-copying papers.
In this connection, it is known that a solvent suitable for that particular use must possess a few basic prerequisites, such as a high chemical inertness towards the dyestuffs to be dissolved therein and the property of permitting that the dyestuff, once it has been developed, may remain stably on the paper.
More particularly, it is desirable that such a solvent be odorless: It should be observed, on this subject matter, that nearly all the solvent as used at present to that purpose have a certain degree of smell, that which is an obvious inconvenience for the users of such self-copying papers.
An objective of the invention is thus to provide a solvent for the dyestuffs to be employed in selfcopying papers, possessing in a high degree the advantageous properties outlined above.
Together with this objective, the invention also aims to achieve that of preparing such a solvent starting from raw materials which are readily available at a low cost, this result being obtained through a chemical conversion which is comparatively simple.
It has now been surprisingly found, and this is the subject matter of the present invention, that the objectives indicated above can be achieved by a solvent for the dyestuffs to be applied to selfcopying papers, characterized in that it comprises a mixture of the following hydrocarbons:
According to the invention, the synthesis of such compounds is essentially based on the Friedel Crafts reaction between a dihalous derivative of the kind X-R-X wherein X is a halogen atom, and R is a -CH2-CH2- group, and an aromatic hydrocarbon selected frpm the group consisting of toluene and xylene.
Said reaction is carried out with the usual catalysts of the kind AIR13, FeCI3, 8F3, at moderate temperatures, so that isomerization phenomena can be minimized.
The molar ratio of the aromatic hydrocarbon to the halogenated derivative can be varied widely according to whether it is desired to obtain, predominantly, low molecular weight compounds, or products having a longer chain and thus a higher boiling point temperature.
In addition, the evolved hydrogen chloride can be recovered in the form of an aqueous concentrated solution which can be used as such.
On completion of the reaction, the catalyst is destroyed with water or an alkali and the reaction mass is washed and neutralized, the excess hydrocarbon is separated by rectificative distillation, whereupon the final product is recovered by distillation.
A few examples are reported hereinafter of synthesis of the compounds referred to above, which are suitable for making the solvent according to the invention.
Example 1 A 60-litre reactor equipped with stirring device, condenser, heating system, hydrogen chloride binding system, is charged with 55.4 kg of toluene and, of these, 9.9 kg are distilled off in order to dehydrate the balance 45.5 kg of toluene, which correspond to 493.8 mols. The liquid is allowed to cool to 800C and AICI3 is added (40 g), whereafter 4.073 kg of 1 ,2-dichloroethane are added slowly dropwise thereto. The reaction is completed after about 6 hours, as the evolution of hydrogen chloride is over and the gaschromatographic analysis shows that dichloroethane is no longer present. The reaction mass is twice washed with an equal volume of lukewarm water and the organic phase is separated, to be rectified (20-plate column) until toluene has completely been removed.
The residual mass is vacuum distilled and there are obtained 7.250 kg of an oily fluid product which has a light straw colour.
This product is a mixture of the hydrocarbons defined in the formulae (lea) and (Ib) reported above.
Example 2 A Friedel-Crafts reaction has been carried out according to a procedure which is very much the same as that of Example 1, by employing xylene (a mixture of isomers).
Once xylene has been stripped by rectification, a clear fluid oily product has been obtained by distillation under a negative pressure (2 Torr) and said product has proven to be a inixture of the hydrocarbons defined by the formulae (ill) and (llb) above.
By blending the product as obtained according to Example 1 with that obtained in Example 2 in variable proportions, a liquid is obtained, which is capable of dissolving in a very advantageous way any dyestuff of those conventionally known for use in self-copying papers.
More particularly commercial dyestuffs have been tested, which are known in the trade under the following names: Reakt Violett K, a product of BASF, and Pergascript Violett l-R, Pergascript Blau l-2R, Pergascript Blau S-4G, Pergascript Rot 1-6B and Pergascript Olive l-G, all manufactured by CIBA-GEIGY.
The solvent of the invention has shown a very good solvent power towards all of these dyestuffs, along with a high chemical inertness, a high stability of the color developer on paper, and a nearly absolute absence of smell.
Inasmuch as the raw materials used for producing the solvents according to the invention is readily available at a not too high price and the chemical process for its production is inherently simple and direct, it can be appreciated that the invention permits that all the initially preselected objectives may be successfully achieved.
