Thermal transfer recording sheet

A thermal transfer recording sheet comprising a base material and a colorant layer on the base material,

• wherein the colorant layer includes a yellow dye layer comprising a yellow dye, a magenta dye layer comprising a magenta dye, and a cyan dye layer comprising a cyan dye,
• the magenta dye containing a compound represented by General Formula (1),
• the yellow dye containing a compound represented by General Formula (2), and
• the cyan dye containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by General Formulae (3) to (5),
• wherein, in General Formula (1),
• R1 and R2 each independently represent an alkyl group;
• R3 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group having no substituents, or an aryl group having a substituent;
• R4 represents an alkyl group, an aryl group having no substituents, or an aryl group having a substituent;
• and
• R5 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group having no substituents, an aryl group having a substituent, or —N(—R6)R7, R6 and R7 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an acyl group, and R6 and R7 may be bonded to each other to form a ring,
• wherein, in General Formula (2),
• R8 represents an alkyl group;
• R9 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group;
• R10 represents an alkyl group, an aryl group having no substituents, an aryl group having a substituent, or an amino group;
• R11 represents a hydrogen atom, a cyano group, a carbamoyl group, a carboxylic acid ester group, or a carboxylic acid amide group;
• R12 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group having no substituents, an aryl group having a substituent, or —N(—R13)R14, R13 and R14 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an acyl group, and R13 and R14 may be bonded to each other to form a ring;
• X represents a carbonyl group or a sulfonyl group;
• and
• n is an integer of 1 to 3,
• wherein, in General Formula (3), R15 to R19 each independently represent an alkyl group, an aryl group having no substituents, or an aryl group having a substituent,
• wherein, in General Formula (4), R20 and R21 each independently represent an alkyl group, an aryl group having no substituents, or an aryl group having a substituent, and
• wherein, in General Formula (5), R22 to R26 each independently represent an alkyl group, an aryl group having no substituents, or an aryl group having a substituent.
