Triarylmethane leuco compounds and compositions comprising the same

A method of making a triarylmethane leuco compound comprising

• reacting an aromatic aldehyde compound, a first oxyalkylenated aryl compound, and a second oxyalkylenated aryl compound in a condensation reaction in the presence of an acidic catalyst to produce a triarylmethane leuco compound, wherein the first alkyleneoxy aryl compound is a compound of Formula (CV) and the second alkyleneoxy aryl compound is a compound of Formula (CX)
