Abstract: A process for synthesizing an N,N-disubstituted hydrazone comprises carrying out nitrozation by adding an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite to a solution having one part by weight of an N,N-disubstituted amine dissolved in 3 to 30 parts by weight of an organic acid, then reducing the nitrozated product to an N,N-disubstituted hydrazine by adding a reducing agent to the mixture containing the nitrozated product, and thereafter adding to the mixture containing the N,N-disubstituted hydrazine a carbonyl compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein A represents an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group which may have a substituent, B represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group or an aromatic heterocyclic group, which may have a substituent, thereby performing condensation of the N,N-disubstituted hydrazine with the carbonyl compound.

Abstract: An organic film comprising at least one compound of the following formulae (1)-(5): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.11 and R.sub.13 each represent substituted or unsubstituted aryl, R.sub.12 represents substituted or unsubstituted arylene, and A.sup..crclbar. represents an anionic residue; ##STR2## wherein R.sub.21, R.sub.22, and R.sub.24 each represent substituted or unsubstituted aryl, R.sub.23 represents substituted or unsubstituted arylene, and A.sup..crclbar. represents an anionic residue; ##STR3## wherein R.sub.31, R.sub.33, and R.sub.35 each represent substituted or unsubstituted aryl, R.sub.32 and R.sub.34 each represent substituted or unsubstituted arylene, and A.sup..crclbar. represents an anionic residue; ##STR4## wherein R.sub.41 represents alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, or substituted or unsubstituted styryl, R.sub.42 represents substituted or unsubstituted arylene, R.sub.43 represents substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and A.sup..crclbar.

Abstract: An electrostatic recording material, such as a dielectric coated paper and a paper for transfer of an electrostatic image, having a dielectric layer comprising a copolymer which comprises about 15 to 70 mol% of methacrylic acid and about 85 to 30 mol% of a methacrylate or acrylate and which contains free carboxylic acid groups, and a process for producing the electrostatic recording material comprising coating a water-soluble or -emulsifiable ammonium or amine salt of the copolymer on a support and drying the coated support.
