Guanidine compound and heat sensitive recording material
An object of the present invention is to provide a heat sensitive recording material which can develop color at high density by the inclusion of a novel guanidine compound which is strongly basic and superior in diffusion resistance. The present invention for attaining the above-described object is a heat sensitive recording material comprising a substrate supporting thereon a heat sensitive recording layer containing a diazonium salt compound, a coupler which reacts with the diazonium salt compound when heated to develop color, and abase, wherein the heat sensitive recording layer includes as the base at least one of the guanidine compounds represented by the general formula (1): wherein, in the general formula (1), R1 and R2 represent an alkyl group or aryl group and may be the same or different, R3 and R4 represent a hydrogen atom, alkyl group or halogen atom and may be the same or different, and X represents a divalent connecting group.
