Abstract

3-Aryl-3-indolylphthalides, 3-aryl-3-pyrrolylphthalides and 3-aryl-3-carbazolylphthalides prepared by interaction of the appropriate 2-(heteroaryl)carbonylbenzoic acid and the appropriate phenylamine, and 3,3-bis(indolyl)phthalides prepared by the interaction of the appropriate 2-(indolyl)carbonylbenzoic acid and the appropriate indole are useful as color formers in pressure-sensitive carbonless duplicating systems, thermal marking systems and hectographic copying systems.
