Process comprises the combination of the three steps of condensing 3-N(R).sub.2 -4-X-benzoic acid with an aromatic or heterocyclic aldehyde, Y-CHO, under acidic conditions to produce 3-Y-5-X-6-N(R).sub.2 phthalide (II), condensing said phthalide with a compound of the formula Z-H under alkaline or acid conditions to produce 2-(.alpha.-Y-.alpha.-Z)methyl-4-X-5-N(R).sub.2 benzoic acid (III), and oxidizing said benzoic acid to produce 3-Y-3-Z-5-X-6-N(R).sub.2 phthalide (I) where: R is hydrogen, non-tertiary alkyl of one to four carbon atoms, benzyl or substituted benzyl; X is hydrogen or halo; Y is 4-R.sup.1 -3-R.sup.2 -2-R.sup.1 -phenyl, 1-R.sup.5 -2-R.sup.6 -5/6-R.sup.4 -3-indolyl, 9-R.sup.7 -3-carbazolyl, 9-julolidinyl, 3,4-dioxymethylenephenyl, 2-thienyl, 1-R.sup.8 -2-pyrrolyl, or 4-pyridinyl; and Z is 4-R.sup.1 -3-R.sup.2 -2-R.sup.1 -phenyl, 1-R.sup.5 -2-R.sup.6 -5/6-R.sup.4 -3-indolyl or 1-R.sup.8 -2-pyrrolyl which are useful as colorless precursor color formers in carbonless duplicating and in thermal marking systems. The intermediates, 3-Y-5-X-6-N(R).sub.2 phthalides (II) and 2-(.alpha.-Y-.alpha.-Z)methyl-4-X-5-N(R).sub.2 benzoic acids (III) also have utility as colorless precursor color formers in carbonless duplicating and thermal marking systems.

Substituted phthalides

Water insoluble, photodynamic insecticidal compositions comprising the free acids of erythrosin B, phloxin B, rose bengal, octabromofluorescein or fluorescein or the aluminum lakes thereof, optionally including a dispersant, aqueous dispersions of the same and a method of combatting adult insects and insect larvae by use of the same.

Phototoxic insecticidal compositions and method of use thereof

3-(substituted phenyl)phthalides

This invention relates to novel mixtures consisting essentially of benzanilide bridged disazo compounds which are randomly substituted with x (N-substituted sulfonamido) groups, to acid-addition salts of said disazo compounds, useful as direct dyes particularly in the dyeing of cellulose, and to methods of preparation of said mixtures of (N-substituted sulfonamido) substituted disazo compounds.
