Abstract
An azo compound having the following formula (I): A(E)n (I) wherein A represents a residue of an azo compound, bonded with n pieces of E group through one or more heteroatom being N or O and forming a part of the residue A; E independently represents a hydrogen atom or —C(═O)—O—R1 wherein R1 represents a substituted or an unsubstituted alkyl group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a cycloalkenyl group or an aralkyl group; and n represents an integer of from 1 to 10.
Claims19
An azo compound having the following formula (I):
- A(E)n (I)
- wherein A represents a residue of an azo compound, bonded with n pieces of E group through one or more heteroatom being N or O and forming a part of the residue A;
- E independently represents a hydrogen atom or —C(═O)—O—R1 wherein R1 represents a substituted or an unsubstituted alkyl group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a cycloalkenyl group or an aralkyl group;
- and n represents an integer of from 1 to 10.
A method of preparing an azo pigment, comprising:
- chemically, thermally or photolytically de-carbo esterifying an azo compound having the formula (I) to form an azo compound A(H)n:
- A(E)n (I)
- wherein A represents a residue of an azo compound, bonded with n pieces of E group through one or more heteroatom being N or O and forming apart of the residue A;
- E independently represents a hydrogen atom or —C(═O)—O—R1 wherein R1 represents a substituted or an unsubstituted alkyl group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a cycloalkenyl group or an aralkyl group;
- and n represents an integer of from 1 to 10.
