PHENOLIC COMPOUND AND RECORDING MATERIAL

摘要

Provided is a recording material which is excellent in the storage stability of the blank surface and an image, particularly, which is extremely excellent both in the light-resistance of the blank surface and in the light-, moisture- and heat-resistances of an image. The recording material contains a phenolic compound represented by general formula (I) [wherein R1 to R3 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group; and R5 is a hydrogen atom, a C1-4 alkyl group, or a C1-4 alkoxy group, with the proviso that: when R5 is a hydrogen atom, R4 is a C1-4 alkyl group; when R5 is a C1-4 alkyl group, R4 is a hydrogen atom; and when R5 is a C1-4 alkoxy group, R4 is a C1-4 alkoxy group].
