Abstract: The invention discloses a novel thermally-responsive record material comprising a support having coated thereon a thermally sensitive color forming composition comprising a chromogenic material, an acidic developer material and a certain carbamate component that does not include dodecyl-N-phenylcarbamate. The novel record material displays enhanced image intensity or improved thermal response.

Abstract: The process according to the invention can be illustrated by way of example by the following equation: The monosodium salt of the 3-cyano-2-hydroxy-5-fluoropyrid-6-one (cf. Formula (I)) and/or tautomers thereof are preferably employed in the process according to the invention. The use of a basic catalyst enables significantly lower amounts of chlorinating agent to be employed in the chlorination according to the invention than is necessary, for example, for chlorination of the free dihydroxy compound according to EP-A 333 020. Furthermore, the product 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinonitrile is obtained in a high purity and high yields after hydrolysis, which is not the case if the conditions according to EP-A 333 020 are applied. Basic catalysts which can be used for the process according to the invention are, for example, organic bases, for example aliphatic and aromatic amines and amides, and also inorganic bases, for example basic compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus and salts thereof.

Abstract: Acetophenones which are substituted on the aromatic ring by fluoroalkyl are prepared in a particularly advantageous, environmentally friendly and effective manner from fluoroalkylanilines and acetaldoxime by preparing from a fluoroalkylaniline a corresponding diazonium salt solution, and reacting this with acetaldoxime in the presence of at least one copper compound, without adding any buffer salts or reducing agents, carrying out the reaction at from 20 to 50° C. and in the presence of halide ions and subsequently heating to a temperature in the range from 70 to 110° C.
