Definitions
- the present invention relates to a water-soluble disazo compound or a salt thereof, an ink composition containing the same, and a colored body colored with these.
- ink ejection methods have been developed as recording methods using an ink jet printer, which is one of the representative methods. These all generate ink droplets and attach them to various recording materials (paper, film, fabric, etc.) for recording. In this method, since the recording head and the recording material are not in direct contact with each other, no noise is generated and the method is quiet. In addition, since it has the features that it is easy to downsize, speed up, and colorize, it has been spreading rapidly in recent years and is expected to grow greatly in the future. Conventionally, inks such as fountain pens and felt pens, and inks for ink jet recording have been prepared by dissolving a water-soluble dye in an aqueous medium.
- a water-soluble organic solvent is added to these water-based inks in order to prevent clogging of the ink at the pen tip or the ink discharge nozzle.
- These inks provide a recording image with sufficient density, do not cause clogging of the pen tip and nozzles, have good drying properties on the recording material, have little bleeding, and have excellent storage stability. Is required.
- Ink-jet nozzle clogging occurs when the water content in the ink evaporates in the vicinity of the nozzle before other solvents and additives, and the dye solidifies and precipitates when the composition state is low in water and high in solvents and additives. There are many things derived from this. Therefore, one of the very important required performances is that solids hardly precipitate even when the moisture in the ink is low. For this reason, high solubility in solvents and additives is one of the properties required for pigments.
- a method for eliminating nozzle clogging a method using a dye having a high printing density is known. By using a pigment having a high printing density, the solid content of the pigment in the ink can be reduced while maintaining the conventional printing density. This not only makes it difficult to precipitate the dye, but is also advantageous in terms of cost, and development of a dye having a high printing density is desired.
- the color area that can be expressed in a single color or mixed color becomes narrow, and the range of the color area that is desired to be expressed may be insufficient. For this reason, development of highly saturated pigments and inks containing them is desired.
- the ink performance is required to be stable for long-term storage, high in the density of the recorded image, and excellent in fastness such as water resistance, moisture resistance, light resistance, and gas resistance. It is done.
- the gas resistance is a phenomenon in which an oxidizing gas existing in the air reacts with a dye (dye) of a recorded image on the recording material or in the recording material to cause the recorded image to discolor and fade. It is resistance to.
- ozone gas is considered to be a main causative substance that promotes the discoloration and fading phenomenon of ink jet recorded images. Since this discoloration phenomenon is characteristic of ink jet recorded images, improvement of ozone gas resistance is an important technical problem in this field.
- inkjet printers have the advantage that the type of recording paper is not limited, and the price of the printer itself is low, and the spread is particularly widespread in small to medium-sized office environments such as small offices and home offices (SOHO).
- SOHO small offices and home offices
- pigment ink does not dissolve in water-based ink, it does not enter a solution state, but is a dispersed ink. Therefore, when this is used for ink jet recording, there are problems with the stability of the ink itself and the nozzles of the recording head. Problems such as clogging occur.
- pigment ink when pigment ink is used, there is often a problem in abrasion resistance. In the case of a dye ink, such a problem is considered to be relatively difficult to occur.
- the water resistance is extremely inferior to that of a pigment ink, and an improvement to the problem is strongly desired.
- dye ink tends to cause a problem that a dye attached to the surface of plain paper by ink jet recording penetrates more quickly toward the back side of the paper, resulting in a decrease in color density.
- the ink receiving layer As one method for obtaining a photographic image-recorded inkjet image, there is a method of providing an ink receiving layer on the surface of a recording material.
- the ink receiving layer provided for such a purpose often contains a porous white inorganic substance in order to speed up drying of the ink and to reduce bleeding of the pigment with high image quality.
- discoloration due to ozone gas is noticeable.
- With the recent spread of digital cameras and color printers there are increasing opportunities to print images obtained with digital cameras and the like as photographic image quality at home, so the above-mentioned color change of recorded images due to oxidizing gas is regarded as a problem. .
- yellow dyes Compared to the other three primary colors, magenta and cyan, yellow dyes have been proposed that have good resistance to oxidizing gas as well as light resistance. However, yellow dyes and yellow inks for inkjet recording that sufficiently satisfy the high sharpness and various fastnesses required by the market have not been obtained yet.
- Examples of known yellow pigments for inkjet which are excellent in water solubility and sharpness include C.I. I. (Color index) Direct yellow 132 is exemplified.
- C.I. I. (Color index) Direct yellow 132 is exemplified.

Abstract
Description
従来、万年筆やフェルトペン等のインク、及びインクジェット記録用のインクとしては、水溶性の染料を水性媒体に溶解したインクが使用されている。これらの水性インクには、ペン先やインク吐出ノズルでのインクの目詰まりを防止すべく、一般に水溶性の有機溶剤が添加されている。これらのインクにおいては、十分な濃度の記録画像を与えること、ペン先やノズルの目詰まりを生じないこと、被記録材上での乾燥性が良いこと、滲みが少ないこと、保存安定性に優れること等が要求される。
また、インクの性能としては、長期の保存に対して安定であり、記録画像の濃度が高く、しかもその画像が耐水性、耐湿性、耐光性、耐ガス性等の堅牢度に優れることが求められる。ここで耐ガス性とは、空気中に存在する酸化作用を持つガスが、被記録材上又は被記録材中で、記録画像の色素(染料)と反応し、記録画像を変退色させるという現象に対する耐性のことである。酸化性ガスの中でも特にオゾンガスは、インクジェット記録画像の変退色現象を促進させる主要な原因物質とされている。この変退色現象はインクジェット記録画像に特徴的なものであるため、耐オゾンガス性の向上はこの分野における重要な技術的課題である。
これらの性能を満たす目的で、顔料インクを用いる方法が提案されている。しかし、顔料インクは色素が水性インク中には溶解しないため溶液状態とはならず、分散状態のインクであるため、これをインクジェット記録に用いると、インク自体の安定性の問題や記録ヘッドのノズル詰まりの問題等が生じる。また、顔料インクを使用した場合、耐擦性にも問題を生じることが多い。染料インクの場合、このような問題は比較的起こりにくいとされるが、特に耐水性において顔料インクと比較して著しく劣り、それに対する改良が強く望まれている。また、染料インクは顔料インクと異なり、インクジェット記録により普通紙の表面に付着させた色素が、より速く紙の裏面方向へ浸透し、その結果、発色濃度が低下するという問題が起こりやすい。
特許文献1には、耐光及び耐水堅牢度を有する黄色の陰イオン性アゾ化合物が開示されている。
特許文献2には、水に対する溶解性が高く、耐湿性、耐オゾンガス性、及び耐光性を有する黄色の水溶性アゾ化合物が開示されている。

に関する。
上記式(1)の本発明の水溶性アゾ化合物又はその塩は、水溶性の黄色色素である。なお、本明細書においては特に断りがない限り、スルホ基、カルボキシ基等の酸性官能基は遊離酸の形で表す。また、本発明は、上記の通り、式(1)で表される水溶性アゾ化合物及び該化合物の塩の両者を含むものであるが、両者を常に「化合物又はその塩」等と併記するのは煩雑である。このため特に断りがない限り、便宜上、本発明の「(水溶性アゾ)化合物又はその塩」の両者を含めて単に「(水溶性アゾ)化合物」と簡略して、以下記載する。
式(1)中、Qはハロゲン原子を表す。具体例としては、フッ素原子、塩素原子、臭素原子、ヨウ素原子が挙げられ、フッ素原子又は塩素原子が好ましく、塩素原子が特に好ましい。
特開2004-75719号公報に記載の方法に準じて、市販品の2-アミノ-4-ハロゲノフェノールを原料として得られる下記式(A)の化合物を、重亜硫酸ナトリウム及びホルマリンを用いてメチル-ω-スルホン酸誘導体(B)に変換する。次いで、常法により、下記式(C)で表される5-アミノイソフタル酸をジアゾ化し、先に得られた式(B)のメチル-ω-スルホン酸誘導体と、反応温度0~15℃、pH2~4でカップリング反応を行い、引き続き、反応温度80~95℃、pH10.5~11.5で加水分解反応を行うことにより、下記式(D)の化合物が得られる。
例えば、式(1)の化合物の合成反応における、最終工程終了後の反応液、あるいは式(1)の化合物を含む水溶液等に、例えばアセトンやC1-C4アルコール等の水溶性有機溶剤を加える方法;塩化ナトリウムを加えて塩析する方法;等の方法によって析出した固体を濾過分離することにより、上記式(1)の化合物のナトリウム塩等をウェットケーキとして得ることができる。
また、得られたナトリウム塩のウェットケーキを水に溶解後、塩酸等の酸を加えてそのpHを適宜調整し、析出した固体を濾過分離することにより、上記式(1)の化合物の遊離酸を、あるいは式(1)の化合物の一部がナトリウム塩である遊離酸とナトリウム塩との混合物を得ることもできる。また、得られたナトリウム塩のウェットケーキ又はその乾燥固体を水に溶解後、塩化アンモニウム等のアンモニウム塩を添加し、塩酸等の酸を加えてそのpHを適宜、例えばpH1~3に調整し、析出した固体を濾過分離することにより、上記式(1)の化合物のアンモニウム塩を得ることができる。添加する塩化アンモニウムの量及び/又はpHを適宜調整することにより、式(1)の化合物のアンモニウム塩と式(1)の化合物のナトリウム塩との混合物;式(1)の化合物の遊離酸とアンモニウム塩との混合物;等を得ることもできる。
また、後記するように上記反応終了後の反応液に、鉱酸(例えば塩酸、硫酸等)を加えて直接遊離酸の固体を得ることもできる。この場合には、式(1)の化合物の遊離酸のウェットケーキを水に加えて撹拌し、例えば、水酸化カリウム;水酸化リチウム;アンモニア水;式(3)の有機4級アンモニウムの水酸化物;等を添加して造塩することにより、各々添加した化合物に応じたカリウム塩;リチウム塩;アンモニウム塩;4級アンモニウム塩;等を得ることもできる。遊離酸のモル数に対して、加える上記の水酸化物等のモル数を制限することにより、例えばリチウム塩とナトリウム塩との混塩等;さらにはリチウム塩、ナトリウム塩、及びアンモニウム塩の混塩等;も調製することが可能である。上記式(1)の化合物の塩は、その塩の種類により溶解性等の物理的な性質、あるいはインクとして用いた場合のインクの性能が変化する場合もある。このため、目的とするインク性能等に応じて塩の種類を選択することも好ましく行われる。
有機ハロゲン系化合物としては、例えばペンタクロロフェノールナトリウムが挙げられる。
ピリジンオキシド系化合物としては、例えば2-ピリジンチオール-1-オキサイドナトリウムが挙げられる。
イソチアゾリン系化合物としては、例えば、1,2-ベンズイソチアゾリン-3-オン、2-n-オクチル-4-イソチアゾリン-3-オン、5-クロロ-2-メチル-4-イソチアゾリン-3-オン、5-クロロ-2-メチル-4-イソチアゾリン-3-オンマグネシウムクロライド、5-クロロ-2-メチル-4-イソチアゾリン-3-オンカルシウムクロライド、2-メチル-4-イソチアゾリン-3-オンカルシウムクロライド等が挙げられる。
その他の防腐防黴剤としては、酢酸ナトリウム、ソルビン酸ナトリウム、安息香酸ナトリウム等;、さらにはアーチケミカル社製の商品名プロクセルRTMGXL(S)及びプロクセルRTMXL-2(S);等が、それぞれ挙げられる。なお、本明細書中において、上付きの「RTM」は登録商標を意味する。
インク受容層とは、インクを吸収してその乾燥を早める等の作用を有する層である。インク受容層は、例えば上記基材にカチオン系ポリマーを含浸又は塗工する方法;インク中の色素を吸収し得る無機微粒子をポリビニルアルコールやポリビニルピロリドン等の親水性ポリマーと共に、上記基材の表面に塗工する方法;等により設けられる。上記のインク中の色素を吸収し得る無機微粒子の材質としては、多孔質シリカ、アルミナゾル、特殊セラミックス等が挙げられる。
このようなインク受容層を有する情報伝達用シートは、通常インクジェット専用紙、インクジェット専用フィルム、光沢紙、光沢フィルム等と呼ばれる。インク受容層を有する情報伝達シートの代表的な市販品の例としては、キヤノン(株)製、商品名プロフェッショナルフォトペーパー、及び光沢ゴールド;セイコーエプソン(株)製、商品名写真用紙クリスピア(高光沢)、写真用紙(光沢);日本ヒューレット・パッカード(株)製、商品名アドバンスフォト用紙(光沢);富士フィルム(株)製、商品名画彩 写真仕上げPro;等が挙げられる。
また、普通紙とは、特にインク受容層を設けていない紙のことを意味し、用途によってさまざまなものが数多く市販されている。市販されている普通紙のうち、インクジェット記録用としては、両面上質普通紙(セイコーエプソン株式会社製);PB PAPER GF-500(キヤノン株式会社製);Multipurpose Paper、All-in-one Printing Paper(Hewlett Packard社製);等が挙げられる。また、特に用途をインクジェット記録に限定しないプレーンペーパーコピー(PPC)用紙等も普通紙である。
本発明のインク組成物をインクジェットインクとして使用しても、ノズル付近におけるインク組成物の乾燥による固体析出は非常に起こりにくく、噴射器(記録ヘッド)を閉塞することもない。また、本発明のインク組成物は連続式インクジェットプリンタを用い、比較的長い時間間隔においてインクを再循環させて使用する場合においても、又はオンデマンド式インクジェットプリンタによる断続的な使用においても、物理的性質の変化を起こさない。
さらに、本発明のインク組成物により、インク受容層を有する情報伝達用シートに記録された画像は、耐水性、耐湿性、耐オゾンガス性、耐擦性、耐光性等の各種堅牢性が良好であり、この理由から、写真調の画像の長期保存安定性にも優れている。また、従来のインクと比較して、普通紙上での彩度、明度、印字濃度等の発色性にも優れている。
このように、本発明の式(1)の水溶性アゾ化合物、及びこれを含有する本発明のインク組成物は、各種インク用途、特にインクジェット記録用のインク用途に極めて有用である。
合成した化合物のうち、λmax(最大吸収波長)を測定したものについては、pH7~8の水溶液中での測定値を示した。
