Abstract: The purpose of the present disclosure is to improve the sensitivity of 4,4?-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone, which is a developer, in a heat-sensitive recording material. The present disclosure provides a heat-sensitive recording material that uses at least one selected from 1,2-bis(phenoxy)ethane, 1,2-bis(3-methylphenoxy)ethane, benzyloxynaphthalene, and oxalic acid di-p-methylbenzyl ester as a sensitizer for 4,4?-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone, and further includes benzoin as a sensitization aid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an N,N?-diurea derivative represented by the following general formula (1) and a method for producing the same. In addition, the present invention relates to a thermosensitive recording material in which a thermosensitive recording layer including a basic dye which is colorless or lightly colored at room temperature and a developer capable of developing color upon contact with the basic dye by heating is provided on a base sheet, wherein the developer is the N,N?-diurea derivative represented by the following general formula (1): (wherein R2 is an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, or an aryl group; and A1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group).

Abstract: A heat-sensitive recording material includes a heat-sensitive recording layer containing a basic dye and a developer and provided on a supporting body, in which the developer is at least one type of an N-substituted amino acid derivative represented by the following General Formula: (R—X)m—Y—(Z)m . . . (1) (In Formula (1), R represents an alkyl group or an aryl group which may have a substituent. X is a group bonded to the N-terminus of Y, and represents —OCO—, —SO2NHCO—, —NHCO—, —NHCS—, or —SO2—. Y represents an amino acid residue or a peptide residue. Z represents a group bonded to the C-terminus of Y and represents an OH group or an OR? group. When Y is an amino acid residue other than a cystine residue or when Y is a peptide residue not having a cystine residue, m=1, and when Y is a peptide residue having n cystine residues, m=n+1 and n is 1 or 2.
