DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a method for producing photochromic materials.Background Art Photochromic materials are known as materials that produce a reversible color change. Among these photochromic materials, spiropyran is the most widely studied material.

When this merocyanine is irradiated with visible light, it reverts to its original spiropyran (see the margin below). H3 (A) Using these properties of photochromic materials, optical recording media can be created and optical recording devices can be miniaturized. In order to achieve this, it is desirable to use a semiconductor laser as a recording light source. Conventional spiropyran has no sensitivity in the semiconductor laser oscillation region.
Kawa et al, Chemistry Let
TERS 1805 (1985)), instead of spiropyran, a spirothiopyran system (for example, the structure below) in which a benzopyran ring is replaced with a benzothiopyran ring is used to move the recording sensitivity to a longer wavelength region. However, in order to use a semiconductor laser with higher output and lower cost for recording, it is desirable to move the sensitivity of this spirothiobilane colored substance to an even longer wavelength range.

As described in 5)), the circle is 5° to the indoline ring side.
Although it is known that a nitro group can be introduced into a position, it is desirable to obtain a recording medium with a uniform ultra-thin film in order to obtain high recording sensitivity and stability.

In order to obtain such ultra-thin films under mild conditions, the Langmuir-Blodgett method (hereinafter referred to as the LB method) is the best method. However, the skeleton of spirothiopyran has low hydrophobicity, and when used alone, LB
does not form a film (°C, therefore, spirothiopyran is LB
In many cases, it is necessary to introduce a long alkyl chain at the N-position of the indoline ring to create a thin film using the indoline method to balance the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The general synthesis of spirothiobilane involves a coupling reaction between indolenine and an alkyl halide (RX) as shown in the following formula, which introduces a long chain into the N-position of an indoline ring having a nitro group. .

R However, alkyl halides with long alkyl chains have low reactivity.
), the above equation is the advancing force (nitroindolenine (
In the case of Y=NOa), the above formula does not proceed at all\Even if it does proceed, very harsh conditions are required.This is because the activity of the indolenine ring is reduced due to the electron-withdrawing property of the nitro group. Therefore, it is impossible to produce nitrospirothiopyran with a long chain using the conventional method (see above).Therefore, it is not possible to make nitrospirothiopyran into a thin film by the LB method. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for easily producing a photochromic material having sensitivity to long wavelengths. The present invention provides a method for producing a nitrated photochromic material of the following general formula by directly acting a nitrating agent on

The manufacturing method of the photochromic material described above involves introducing a long chain into the acting target, completing the spirothiopyran skeleton, and then introducing a nitro group. Spirothiobilane having a nitrated indoline ring and a long chain at the same time can be obtained under mild conditions, and therefore has no adverse effect on other functional groups of spiropyran.Example An example of a photochromic material produced using the present production method The synthesis method of the specific example is roughly divided into the following four steps.

Compression speed that allows thinning by Langmuir-Blodgett method under the following conditions: 10 mm/min Cumulative speed: 10 mm/min Cumulative pressure: 20 mN/m On this thin film 1 The film thickness is very thin at 2.5 nm. When this thin film was irradiated with ultraviolet light, the uniformity of the film surface was extremely high even when observed under a microscope, λmax = 750
nm absorption peak appeared This absorption peak has a wavelength of 7
It disappears quickly by irradiation with a 50 nm semiconductor laser, and this cycle is reversible. In this example, even if an iodide with a carbon number of 1 to 32 is used instead of octadecane iodide, there is no change in the synthesis or physical properties. Not seen Asahi However, in order to form a film by the LB method, the carbon number is most preferably 6 to 32.

The power of heating and refluxing for 40 hours (the reaction did not proceed at all, and the raw materials were collected (blank below)). Similarly, the reaction did not proceed at all, but with alkyl halides having less than 5 carbon atoms, the reaction proceeded only slightly (the yield of the product was low, 1.%).Therefore, although this production method has some effects, it is still difficult to implement. In the example, the substituent on the benzene ring on the biran ring side is a methoxy group and a nitro group.The substituent on the N-position of the indoline ring is an octadecyl group.It can be used in the same way with other substituents.
