TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an anthraquinone compound and the use of the anthraquinone compound as dyes.


BACKGROUND

Supercritical fluid dyeing (SFD) is a new eco-friendly dyeing technique. International manufacturers in the textile industry have put great effort in the development of the SFD process. However, dyeing products available for the SFD process are few. There are only 21 dyes for SFD, and the black dye is still in the experimental stage. Therefore, the color matching of fabric in SFD is quite difficult.


Moreover, there is currently only one SFD dye having the colorfastness to laundering up to Grade 3.5 for polyurethane fiber and the blended fabrics thereof. Therefore, the industry is in desperate need of usable SFD dyes.


SUMMARY

In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure, an anthraquinone compound is provided. The anthraquinone compound has the structure of the following formula (I):

In this example, 11.104 g of 1, 4-dichloroanthroquinone (0.04 mol), 11.885 g of 1-octylamine (0.088 mol) and 2.770 g of potassium carbonate (0.02 mol) were placed in a double neck bottle, and 60 ml of 1-butanol were added. The mixture was stirred under vacuum for 60 seconds to remove oxygen and water vapor. Then, the mixture was heated to reflux under nitrogen condition for 24 hours (the color of the mixture was yellow at the beginning of the reaction, and turned blue-purple after reflux was performed for about 1 hour). After the reacted mixture was cooled down to room temperature, 50 ml of acetone was added. The mixture was placed in an ultrasonic vibrator for dissolution for about 30 minutes, and then was subjected to filtration. The solid in the upper layer was washed with acetone 3-4 times. Thereafter, the blue filtrate in the lower layer was concentrated to remove acetone, and 100 g of ethyl acetate (EAc) was added and stirred at 50° C. Then, the filtrate was purified by recrystallization and was dried. 5.67 g of blue powder crystal product (the anthraquinone compound A) was obtained. The yield was 61.27%. The above reaction formula is shown below:

Then, the mixture was heated to reflux under nitrogen condition for 24 hours (the color of the mixture was yellow at the beginning of the reaction, and turned blue-purple after reflux was performed for about 1 hour). The reaction mixture was blue semisolid after cooling down to room temperature. Then, the mixture was poured into 100 ml of alcohol (95%) for re-precipitation. The obtained blue solid precipitate was transferred into a one-neck bottle having a volume of 500 ml, and 200 ml of ethanol (ECHO, 95%) was added. The mixture was then heated to reflux for 1 hour. Thereafter, the mixture was filtered to remove insolubles while the temperature of the mixture was still high. The filtrate was left to stand at room temperature (about 24° C.) for recrystallization. The obtained blue solid crystal precipitate was subjected to suction filtration, and then was washed with 30 ml of cold alcohol (95%) twice. Thereafter, the obtained solid precipitate was transferred to a vacuum oven for drying under reduced pressure at 80° C. for 2 hours. 14.480 g of blue solid product (the anthraquinone compound C) was obtained. The yield was 63.0%. The melting point of the obtained product measured by DSC was 85.73° C.-86.58° C. The above reaction formula is shown below:

Example 4
Staining Evaluation for the Anthraquinone Compound A Used in Polyurethane/Polyester Fabrics

10 g of polyurethane/polyester fabric (T50D/72F/2 SD DTY+8% 30D OP/Eclat Co.) were placed in a high-pressure dyeing vessel having a volume of 300 ml. Then, 0.1 g of the dye product obtained in Example 1 (the anthraquinone compound A) was added into the high-pressure dyeing vessel, and 151.5±0.5 g of liquid CO2 was injected into the high-pressure dyeing vessel. The temperature and the pressure of the high-pressure dyeing vessel were increased to 120° C. and 25 MPa respectively and then were maintained for 80 minutes, after the high-pressure dyeing vessel was coupled to the glycerol dyeing machine. Thereafter, liquid CO2 was continuously injected into the high-pressure dyeing vessel from the external part, and a washing process was conducted for 50 minutes under the conditions of 120° C. and 250 bar. The temperature was decreased to 40° C. and the pressure was recovered to atmospheric pressure, after the washing process. Then, the obtained dyed fabric sample was taken out and subjected to the colorfastness to laundering test with a multifiber test fabric according to AATCC (the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) 61 2A Evaluation Procedure.


150 ml of liquor containing 0.15% AATCC Standard Reference Detergents were placed in the stainless steel cylinder having the volume of 1200 ml (90 mm*200 mm), and the dyed fabric sample (50 mm*150 mm) and the multifiber test fabric (50 mm*100 mm) were placed in the stainless steel cylinder. Then, the stainless steel cylinder was fixed in a standard laundering machine and the standard washing process was run at 49° C. (±2° C.) for 45 minutes. The dyed fabric sample and the multifiber test fabric were taken out and placed in beakers. Each of them was rinsed three times with distilled or deionized water at 40±3° C. for 1 minute with occasional stirring or scrubbing. Thereafter, the dyed fabric sample and the multifiber test fabric were subjected to a centrifuge or a dewatering machine to remove excess water, and then were dried at a temperature of less than 71° C. in the oven.


Thereafter, a determination was made as to whether other fiber materials of the multifiber test fabric were stained by the dyes derived from the dyed fabric sample. According to the staining evaluation, the colorfastness to laundering of the dyes can be determined. Colorfastness to laundering of Grade 5 means negligible or no color transfer to the undyed multifiber test fabric. Colorfastness to laundering of Grade 1 means that the undyed multifiber test fabric was stained severely. The result of colorfastness to laundering test in Example 4 is shown in Table 1.


Example 5
Staining Evaluation for the Anthraquinone Compound a Used in Nylon Fabrics

10 g of nylon fabrics (N40D/34F/2 SD DTY/Eclat Co.) were placed in a high-pressure dyeing vessel having a volume of 300 ml. Then, 0.1 g of the dye product obtained in Example 1 (the anthraquinone compound A) was added into the high-pressure dyeing vessel, and 151.5±0.5 g of liquid CO2 was injected into the high-pressure dyeing vessel. The temperature and the pressure of the high-pressure dyeing vessel were increased to 110° C. and 25 MPa respectively and then were maintained for 80 minutes, after the high-pressure dyeing vessel was coupled to the glycerol dyeing machine. Thereafter, liquid CO2 was continuously injected into the high-pressure dyeing vessel from the external part, and a washing process was conducted for 50 minutes under the conditions of 110° C. and 250 bar. The temperature was decreased to 40° C. and the pressure was recovered to atmospheric pressure, after the washing process. Then, the obtained dyed fabric sample was taken out and subjected to the colorfastness to laundering test with a multifiber test fabric according to AATCC 61 2A Evaluation Procedure.


Thereafter, a determination was made as to whether other fiber materials of the multifiber test fabric were stained by the dyes derived from the dyed fabric sample (the steps were the same as those in Example 4). According to the staining evaluation, the colorfastness to laundering of the dyes can be determined. The result of colorfastness to laundering test in Example 5 is shown in Table 1.
