The present invention relates to a method for producing a novel squarium compound, which has photosensitivity over a wavelength range from the visible region to the near-infrared region, as a charge generating material for electrophotographic photoreceptors. Conventionally, many substances have been known as materials for electrophotographic photoreceptors. Among them, there are inorganic compounds such as Se/Te, Se/As, and CdSe that exhibit photosensitivity in the long wavelength range. Many of these inorganic compounds are designated as poisonous, deleterious substances, or specified chemical substances.
It has disadvantages in that it requires careful handling, especially disposal, and is difficult to manufacture and expensive. Furthermore, there are many problems such as the fact that it is difficult to process it into a belt shape due to its lack of flexibility. On the other hand, among organic compounds, phthalocyanine compounds are non-toxic and inexpensive, but they suffer from low photosensitivity at wavelengths below 550 nm and difficulty in purification. No practical substance that exhibits photosensitivity has yet been found. The present invention provides a novel method for producing a squarium compound having a flat photosensitivity over the entire wavelength range from the visible region to the near-infrared region. That is, the present invention is based on the formula () 3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (hereinafter referred to as square acid) represented by the formula () (In the formula, R represents an ethyl group, n-propyl group or n-butyl group.) General formula () characterized by reacting with an aniline derivative represented by (In the formula, R represents the same meaning as above.) This is a method for producing a novel squarium compound represented by the following formula. The novel squarium compound is prepared by combining squarium acid and an aniline derivative in a solvent (e.g. n-butanol or amyl alcohol).
It is obtained by reacting at 120 to 140°C for 3 to 5 hours. After washing, the obtained compound is further purified by recrystallization from an appropriate solvent. A specific example of the novel squarium compound of the present invention obtained in this manner is shown below in terms of its structural formula. The novel squarium compound produced in this manner is effective as a charge-generating material for laminated photoreceptors. Moreover, the spectral sensitivity shows flat photosensitivity over the range of 400 to 850 mm, and has sufficient photosensitivity in the entire visible region and near-infrared region. Therefore, it can be applied not only as a normal electrophotographic copying machine but also as a semiconductor laser printer, and is widely used as an intelligent copying machine. In addition to the field of electrophotography, various applications are possible, such as optical recording media such as laser disks and organic solar cells. Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to examples. Example 1 Production of compound () 2.37 g of N-ethyl-N-methylaniline and 3,
4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-
1g of dione, 70ml of n-butanol and 10ml of benzene
Add to the mixed solution of and heat to 120-130℃ while stirring.
It was heated for 4 hours. After cooling, the precipitated green crystals were filtered, washed with methanol, and dried to obtain 1.2 g (39.1 g) of the desired squarium pigment.
