Thermosensitive recording layer forming liquid, thermosensitive recording medium and production method thereof, and image recording method

Abstract

Provided is a thermosensitive recording medium including a support and a thermosensitive recording layer disposed on or above the support. The thermosensitive recording layer include a compound represented by General Formula (1) and a styrene-acryl resin, where, in General Formula (1), R2 is a C1-12 straight-chain, branched-chain, or alicyclic alkyl group, C7-12 aralkyl group that is substituted with a C1-12 alkyl group, a C1-12 alkoxy group, a C6-12 aryl group or a halogen atom, or a C6-12 aryl group that is unsubstituted or substituted with a C1-12 alkyl group, a C1-12 alkoxy group, a C6-12 aryl group, or a halogen atom, where two or more R2 may be identical to or different from each other; and A1 is a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group, where two or more A1, may be identical to or different from each other.
