Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to spiropyran compounds. They have the general formula (I): <IMAGE> in which: X represents the CH2 group or a sulfur atom; R1 and R2 represent electron donor and/or acceptor groups selected for instance from the group NO2, COC6H5, CN, the halogens, the acyl substituents, alkoxy substituents, the hydrogen atom, the alkyl and mercaptoalkyl groups, the ethers of the formula CH2OR, thioethers of the formula CH2SR and amines of the formula CH2NR2 in which R represents an alkyl group; R3 is a linear or branched alkyl group, having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, or an arylalkyl or alkenyl group. -R4,R5,R6,R7,R8 and R9 have one of the meanings indicated for R3 or represent, two by two, with the group in ortho position, a -(CH2)n- group in which n is a number between 5 and 10. R10 represents a hydrogen atom if X=S and if X=CH2 a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an arylalkyl group in which the alkyl group has 1 to 5 carbon atoms, or an alkenyl group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms. The compounds in accordance with the invention have photochromic properties and are suitable for the recording of information on transparent or opaque supports.
