We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

PRIMARY COLOR DEVELOPMENT OH I-O o R is any aryl group O£H Orange or red dyes are obtained if acylamino groups are the substitutions. Examples of this are: OH 2 : 5-benzoyl amino-hy droquinone 2-benzoyl amino1 : 4-dioxy-naphthalene The presence of an azo group in a molecule evidently does not affect the developing properties, for the deep blue sodium salt solution of 4-phenyl-azoi : 2-dioxy-naphthalene can act in the capacity, yielding at the same time a lemon-yellow dye image. This substance has the structure: and can be formed by coupling benzene diazonium chloride with i:2-dioxy naphthalene. The generators of the lignone dyes can act as primary color developers. Several instances of these have already been mentioned. The symmetrical di-methoxy-pyrogallol is one, and 4-methoxy-alpha-naphthol is another. The beta-methoxy-alpha-naphthol gives a purplish red, beta-phenyl-alpha-naphthol a purple, and tetra-methoxy-alpha-naphthol a blue. Substituted ortho-amino-phenols and naphthols are again mentioned (Eng. P. 498871). A yellow image is obtained from 3 : 5-dimethyl-2-amino-phenol. The corresponding di-chloro, bromo, and cyano derivatives can also be used. Ortho-amino-meta-brom-cresol gives reddish-yellow images, as does orthoamino-para-xylenol. Rose to purple colors can be had using alkoxy orthoamino-phenols, alpha-phenyl-amino-beta naphthol, or beta-phenyl-amino-alpha-naphthol. OH -OR R is an alkyl group
