Description

This invention concerns novel dyes which comprise aniline diazo moieties and certain aromatic amine couplers having sulfate groups. These dyes are substantially water soluble and are particularly useful for dyeing polyamide, wool and the like and exhibit, for example, excellent dyeability properties and fastness to light and gas.

The dyes of this invention correspond to the following general formula: ##STR2## wherein ring A may be unsubstituted or substituted with 1-3 groups selected from alkyl, alkoxy, chloro, bromo, iodo, trifluoromethyl, thiocyano, cyano, phenylazo, acyl, aroyl, carbamoyl, sulfamoyl, alkylsulfonyl, alkenylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, alkylthio, arylthio, aryloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, arylamido, aryloxycarbonyl, COO-alkylene-X, CONH-alkylene-X, ##STR3## SO.sub.2 NH-alkylene-X, ##STR4## SO.sub.2 -alkylene-X, SO.sub.2 N(alkyl).sub.2, ##STR5## SO.sub.2 O-aryl, formyl, and NHSO.sub.2 -alkyl, wherein X is one or more groups selected from hydrogen, hydroxy, halogen, aryl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, acylamido, cyano, alkoxyalkoxy, acyloxy, succinimido, alkylsulfonomido, 2-pyrrolidino, alkylthio, and arylthio; R.sub.1 is selected from alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, acylamido, alkylthio, and aryloxy; m is 0, 1, or 2; R.sub.2 represents the linking groups necessary to form a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline or a 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazine structure in combination with the phenylene ring; Z is a linking group such as alkylene; and M is H.sup.+, Na.sup.+, K.sup.+, or NH.sub.4.sup.+. The aliphatic portions of the various alkyl, alkylene, alkenyl, alkoxy, alkanoyl and the like groups throughout this specification, are straight or branched chain of 1-6 carbons and the types and degrees of substitutions thereof and also of the cyclic moieties as further defined below must, of course, be judiciously selected.

The couplers are described more particularly by the following formulae: ##STR6## wherein

R.sub.1 is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, acylamido, alkylthio, and aryloxy;

R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are each selected from hydrogen and alkyl; m is 0, 1 or 2; M is Na.sup.+, K.sup.+, H.sup.+ or NH.sub.4.sup.+ ; and Z is alkylene, or --CH.sub.2 (CH.sub.2).sub.n X--CH.sub.2 (CH.sub.2).sub.p --, where n is 1, 2 or 3, p is 0, 1, 2 or 3, and X is O, S, SO.sub.2, --SO.sub.2 NH--, --SO.sub.2 N(alkyl)--, SO.sub.2 N(aryl), --N(SO.sub.2 aryl)--, --NHCO--, --NHCONH, --N(SO.sub.2 alkyl), or --CON(alkyl).

All of the aforesaid "aliphatic portions" of the various alkyl, etc., groups and the various aromatic and alicyclic radicals may be substituted, for example, with up to three of aryl, phenyl, halogen, OSO.sub.3 M, alkoxy, aryloxy, hydroxy, cyclohexyl, furyl, alkylcyclohexyl, aroyloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, alkanoyloxy, sulfamoyl, SO.sub.2 NH(aryl), SO.sub.2 NH(alkyl), SO.sub.2 N(dialkyl), NHCOO(alkyl), NHCONH(alkyl), acylamido, alkylsulfonamido, succinimido, glutarimido, phthalimido, 2-pyrrolidono, cyano, carbamoyl, alkylcarbamoyl, alkoxyalkoxy, alkylthio, arylthio, alkylsulfonyl or arylsulfonyl.

The dyes of this invention impart orange to blue shades on fibers, particularly polyamides, and are especially useful for dyeing polyamide (nylon) carpets, giving good fastness to light, ozone, oxides of nitrogen, washing, sublimation, crocking, and the like, and having good leveling, transfer, depth of shade, exhaustion and build properties.

The substituted anilines used in this invention are prepared according to known procedures. The dyes may be prepared as follows:

Method I: An intermediate coupler containing one or more hydroxy groups may be reacted with sulfuric acid to produce a sulfate ester, which is then coupled with a diazonium salt to give the dye, as follows: ##STR7##

Method II: An intermediate coupler containing one or more hydroxy groups may be coupled with the diazonium salt and then the dye reacted with sulfuric acid to produce the sulfate ester, as follows: ##STR8## The dyes may be isolated when M is H.sup.+, but are usually isolated as the sodium or potassium salts. The following examples will further illustrate these preparative methods.

COUPLER PREPARATIONS

Example 1

Preparation of 2,7-Dimethyl-N-(2,3-disulfatopropyl)1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline

To 40 g. of concentrated sulfuric acid is added 11.75 g. of N-(2,3-dihyroxypropyl)-2,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline at about 50.degree. C. The material is difficult to dissolve and requires stirring for several hours at room temperature. After solution is completed, stirring is continued for 1 hr.

Example 2

Preparation of N-(2-Sulfatoethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,2,4,7-tetramethylquinoline

To 250 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid is added 120 g. of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,2,4,7-tetramethylquinoline at less than 30.degree. C. The solution is stirred for 2 hrs. and drowned onto 1250 g. of ice and water. After stirring for about 30 min., the white solid which precipitates is collected by filtration, washed with 10% sodium chloride solution, and dried at 60.degree. C.

Example 3

Preparation of N-(2-Sulfatoethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline

N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline (110 g.) is treated exactly as in Example 2 to yield the sulfate product which is a white solid.

Example 4

Preparation of N-(2-Sulfatoethyl)-2,3-dihydro-3,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoxazine

N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2,3-dihydro-3,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoxaine (25 g.) is added at about 30.degree. C. to concentrated sulfuric acid (50 ml). After solution is complete, stirring is continued for 1 hr. and the reaction solution drowned in ice-water to produce a total volume of about 500 ml. The coupler solution is used without further treatment.

The following are typical coupler types bearing hydroxy groups which may be treated in a similar manner as described above to produce sulfate groups. ##STR9##

PREPARATION OF THE DYES--METHOD I

Examples 5-9

To 25 ml of concentrated H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 is added 3.6 g. of NaNO.sub.2 portionwise below 80.degree. C. The solution is cooled and 50 ml of 1:5 acid (1 part propionic acid; 5 parts acetic acid) is added below 20.degree. C. To the mixture is added 2-chloro-4-methylsulfonylaniline (10.28 g., 0.05 m) followed by 50 ml 1:5 acid, all at 0.degree.-5.degree. C. The reaction mixture is stirred at 0.degree.-5.degree. C. for 2 hrs. Each of the couplers (0.01 m) listed below is Examples 5-9 is added to water, or a 0.01 m aliquot of the coupler in dilute H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 is added to water and cooled in an ice bath.

To each chilled coupler is added a 0.01 mole aliquot of the diazonium solution. The coupling mixture is treated with enough potassium acetate to neutralize the mineral acid. Water is added to the coupling mixture to a total volume of about 200 ml and the dyes coolected by filtration, washed with 10% KCl solution, and dried in air. The dyes usually are admixed with about an equal weight of K.sub.2 SO.sub.4 and are used for dyeing without further purification to produce red shades on polyamides.

The dye is collected by filtration. The wet filter cake is stirred in 150 ml of water and pH is adjusted to about 13 by addition of 50% NaOH solution. The sodium salt of the dye is then collected by filtration, washed with saturated NaCl solution, and dried by heating at 60.degree. C. The dye produces a bright yellowish red shade when dyed on nylon carpet. The dyes in the following tables are prepared in a similar manner.
