Azo dyes, their preparation and use

The present invention relates to azo dyes of the formula ##STR2## in which D is the sulfo group-containing radical of an aromatic or heterocyclic diazo component, which can be further substituted and itself can contain an azo bridge, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently of one another are each a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl radical and X is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or alkenyl radical, and their heavy metal complexes, it being possible for the azo dyes of the formula (1) and their heavy metal complexes to contain reactive radicals.
The radical D is an aromatic or heterocyclic radical, which itself can contain an azo group, or a radical which is derived from a compound of the anthraquinone, nitroaryl, phthalocyanine or stilbene series or the like. In particular, D is a radical of the benzene or naphthalene series.
The radical D can contain substituents customary in azo dyes. In particular, the radical D contains sulfonic acid groups. The radical D can contain, for example, the following groups as further substituents, in addition to SO.sub.3 groups: alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec.-butyl and tert.-butyl, alkoxy groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy, isobutoxy, sec.-butoxy and tert.-butoxy, phenoxy, acylamino groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, such as acetylamino, propionylamino and benzoylamino, amino groups, such as --NH.sub.2, methylamino, ethylamino and phenylamino; carboxylic acid ester groups, such as methoxycarbonyl and ethoxycarbonyl, the nitro, cyano, acetyl, carbamoyl, ureido, hydroxyl and carboxyl groups and halogen, such as fluorine, chlorine and bromine.
If the radical D contains complex-forming groups, such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino and sulfo, in the o-position relative to the azo group, the heavy metal complexes of the azo dyes of the formula (I) are also possible.
Complex-forming heavy metals are preferably chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, iron and manganese.

Valuable azo dyes are those of the formula ##STR8## in which the benzene radical A can be substituted by chlorine, methoxy, carboxyl and benzoylamino, and also those of the formula ##STR9## in which the benzene radical B can be substituted by methoxy and Z is an .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl radical (in which case the --HN bridge can also be bonded to the benzene radical B via --CH.sub.2 --) or an .alpha.-bromoacryl, 2,6-dichloro-5-methylsulfonyl-pyrimid-4-yl, 2,6-difluoro-5-chloropyrimid-4-yl, 2,4,5-trichloropyrimid-6-yl, 2,4-dichloro-s-triazin-6-yl, 2-chloro-4-amino-s-triazin-6-yl, 2-chloro-4-sulfophenylamino-s-triazin-6-yl, 2-chloro-4-sulfonaphthylamino-s-triazin-6-yl, 2-chloro-4-isopropoxy-s-triazin-6-yl, 2-fluoro-4-sulfophenylamino-s-triazin-6-yl, 2-chloro-4-[4'-(2,4-dichloro-s-triazin-6-ylamino)-3'-sulfophenylamino]-s-triazin-6-yl or 2-chloro-4-[4'-(2-chloro-4-amino-s-triazin-6-ylamino)-3'-sulfophenylamino]-s-triazin-6-yl radical.
The preparation of the azo dyes of the formula (1) comprises coupling diazotised diazo components of the formula
D--NH.sub.2 ( 8)
with coupling components of the formula ##STR10## in which formulae D, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as defined under formula (1) and W is hydrogen or carbamoyl, and, if desired, reacting the resulting azo dyes of the formula (1) with heavy metal donors and/or acylating the resulting azo dyes of the formula (1) with acylating agents which contain reactive radicals.
If W in the coupling component of the formula (9) is carbamoyl, the carbamoyl radical W is detached during the coupling according to the process.
The diazo components of the formula (8) which are used are preferably diazo components of the benzene or naphthalene series.
The preferred azo dyes of the formula (2) are obtained by coupling diazotised diazo components of the formula ##STR11## with coupling components of the formula ##STR12## in which formulae D.sub.1, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as defined under formula (2) and W is hydrogen or carbamoyl.
The azo dyes of the formula (3) are obtained in an analogous manner by coupling diazotised diazo components of the formula ##STR13## with coupling components of the formula (9), in which formulae A, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as defined under formula (3) and W is hydrogen or carbamoyl. In this case, coupling components of the formula (9) in which R.sub.1 is ethyl, R.sub.2 is methyl, X is methyl and W is hydrogen or carbamoyl are preferably used as starting materials.
The valuable azo dyes of the formula (6) are prepared by coupling diazotised diazo components of the formula ##STR14## in which A is as defined under formula (6), with coupling components of the formula ##STR15## in which W is hydrogen or carbamoyl.
Azo dyes of the formula (1) which are of particular interest are those which contain a reactive radical in the radical of the diazo component and/or in the radical of the coupling component. Azo compounds of the formula (1) and their heavy metal complexes which contain one or more reactive radicals can be prepared by using diazo and/or coupling components which already contain reactive radicals.
In many cases, however, it is also possible subsequently to introduce reactive radicals into the azo dyes of the formula (1). The introduction can be effected after coupling or after metallisation. The reactive radical is preferably introduced by acylating the diazo components, which, in addition to the amino group to be diazotised, also contain a further acylatable amino group or a group which can be converted, for example by reduction or saponification, into an acylatable amino group, such as the nitro group or the acetylamino group, or by acylating the coupling components or, in the case of subsequent introduction, the corresponding aminoazo dyes which contain an acylatable amino group. The starting materials used are preferably diazo components of the benzene or naphthalene series which contain a --N(R)H group, in which R is hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a --CH.sub.2 --NH.sub.2 or ##STR16## group bonded to a ring carbon atom and these are acylated, before or after the coupling reaction with acylating agents which contain reactive radicals.
The preparation of the azo dyes of the formula (4) comprises subjecting diazo components of the formula ##STR17## in which D.sub.2 and R are as defined under formula (4) and V is hydrogen or acetyl, to an acylation reaction with acylating agents which introduce the reactive radical Y (if V is acetyl, after detaching the acetyl radical by saponification), a diazotisation reaction and a coupling reaction with coupling components of the formula (9), in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as defined under formula (4) and W is hydrogen or carbamoyl, the acylation being carried out before diazotisation, after diazotisation and before coupling, or after coupling.
The azo dyes of the formula (5) are obtained in an analogous manner by subjecting diazo components of the formula ##STR18## in which B and R are as defined under formula (5) and V is hydrogen or acetyl, to an acylation reaction with acylating agents which introduce the reactive radical Y (if V is acetyl, after detaching the acetyl radical by saponification), a diazotisation reaction and a coupling reaction with coupling components of the formula (9), in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as defined under formula (5) and W is hydrogen or carbamoyl, the acylation being carried out before diazotisation, after diazotisation and before coupling, or after coupling.
The coupling components of the formula (9) which are used are preferably those in which R.sub.1 is ethyl, R.sub.2 is methyl, X is methyl and W is hydrogen or carbamoyl.
The process for the preparation of the valuable azo dyes of the formula (7) comprises subjecting diazo components of the formula ##STR19## in which B is as defined under formula (7) and V is hydrogen or acetyl, to an acylation reaction with .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl chloride, .alpha.-bromoacryl chloride, 2,4,6-trichloro-5-methylsulfonylpyrimidine, 2,4,6-trifluoro-5-chloro-pyrimidine, 2,4,5,6-tetrachloropyrimidine, 2,4-dichloro-6-isopropoxy-s-triazine, 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine and, if desired, ammonia, an aminobenzenesulfonic acid, aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid and/or a diaminobenzenesulfonic acid, or 2,4,6-trifluoro-s-triazine and an aminobenzenesulfonic acid (if V is acetyl, after detaching the acetyl radical by saponification), a diazotisation reaction and a coupling reaction with coupling components of the formula ##STR20## in which W is hydrogen or carbamoyl, the acylation being carried out before diazotisation, after diazotisation and before coupling, or after coupling.
In the examples which follow the preparation of the intermediates is not described in every case; however, the method used is obvious from what has been stated above.
Starting materials which can be used for the preparation of the azo dyes of the formula (1) are:

Y--SO.sub.2 --X (18)
in which formulae (17) and (18) the radicals R.sub.1, R.sub.2, W and X are as defined under formula (9) and Y is a halogen atom.
The starting materials used are preferably compounds of the formulae (17) and (18) in which R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, W is a hydrogen atom or a carbamoyl radical, X is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or alkenyl radical and Y is a halogen atom.
Further preferred starting materials are compounds of the formulae (17) and (18) in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently of one another are each an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, W is a hydrogen atom or the group H.sub.2 N--CO, X is an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and Y is a halogen atom.
Halogen Y is fluorine, chlorine or bromine.
The coupling component of the formula ##STR22## is obtained by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR23## with methanesulfonyl chloride of the formula
Cl--SO.sub.2 --CH.sub.3 ( 21)
in an aqueous alkaline medium.
The reaction is preferably carried out in an aqueous medium. However, the reaction can also be carried out in an organic solvent, in a mixture of organic solvents or in a mixture of water and one or more organic solvents.
Suitable organic solvents are: dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, acetic acid and pyridine. The reaction can also be carried out in a two-phase solvent system. Such a system is, in particular, a water/organic solvent system, for example water/methylene chloride or water/toluene.
The reaction is carried out in an alkaline medium. A pH range suitable for this is at values between 8 and 14; preferably, the reaction is carried out in a pH range of 11 to 12.
The alkaline agents used are, as usual, alkali metal hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates or acetates, or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates or acetates, or organic bases, such as tertiary amines, for example triethylamine, or heterocyclic nitrogen compounds, such as pyridine and others.
In a preferred embodiment, the reaction is carried out in strongly alkaline aqueous solution, the alkali used being, in particular, sodium hydroxide.
In general, the reaction is carried out at temperatures between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C. and preferably a low temperature is chosen, for example between 0.degree. and 20.degree. C.
After the reaction is complete, the compounds of the formula (9) can be salted out, for example by adding sodium chloride. The compound of the formula (9) is then in the form of the monosodium salt and if this is dissolved in water and concentrated hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid is added to the solution the free acid precipitates out and can be isolated.

The coupling components of the formula (9), and thus also the azo dyes of the formula (1), can exist in several tautomeric forms. In order to simplify the description, these compounds are shown in only one of the tautomeric forms in the formulae. However, it is expressly emphasised that the description, here and also in the text which follows, especially in the claims, always relates to compounds in any of the tautomeric forms.
Aminoazo dyes into which the reactive radicals can be introduced after the coupling reaction are, for example, the coupling products of the abovementioned diazo components of the formula (8) with coupling components of the formula (9).

The 4,6-dihalogeno-s-triazines substituted in the 2-position are obtained, for example, by reacting trihalogeno-s-triazines with the said amino, hydroxy or mercapto compounds. The substituent in the 2-position of a 4,6-dihalogeno-s-triazine can be, for example, the radical of one of the amino, hydroxy and mercapto compounds named below.

Further suitable compounds are those having dye character, for example 4-nitro-4'-aminostilbenedisulfonic acid, 2-nitro-4'-aminodiphenylamino-4,3'-stilbenedisulfonic acid, 2-nitro-4'-aminodiphenylamine-4,3'-disulfonic acid and especially aminoazo dyes or aminoanthraquinones or phthalocyanines which also contain at least one reactive amino group.
The introduction of the substituent in the 2-position of the triazine radical can also be effected after the coupling reaction or after metallisation. Thus, for example, one of the abovementioned amino, hydroxy or mercapto compounds can subsequently be subjected to a condensation reaction with a dihalogeno-s-triazine radical already bonded to the azo dye of the formula (1). This possibility is also to be taken into consideration in the case of the process described further above for the preparation of the azo dyes of the formula (7) and others.
Further reactive radicals, in addition to those which can be introduced by acylation, are the vinylsulfonamide group, the .beta.-sulfato- or -thiosulfato-ethylsulfonamide or .beta.-thiosulfatopropionylamine group, the .beta.-thiosulfatoethylsulfonylamide group or the sulfonic acid N,.beta.-sulfatoethylamide group, which are introduced into the diazo component in a different manner, for example by forming an ester or thioester.
Further reactive compounds are those obtainable via corresponding methylols according to Einhorm, for example 1-amino-3-chloroacetylaminomethyl-benzene-6-sulfonic acid.
The acylation reactions with the fibre-reactive acylating agents are advantageously carried out using acid-binding agents, such as sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide, and under conditions such that replaceable halogen atoms, unsaturated bonds or the like in the reactive radical still remain in the finished product, i.e. for example, in organic solvents or at relatively low temperatures in an aqueous medium.
What has been stated above with regard to the possibility of replacing a halogen atom in the s-triazine radical by an amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio or arylthio group by reaction with an amino, hydroxy or mercapto compound can also apply in the case of other reactive radicals.
If a reactive radical still contains several easily detachable substituents, for example halogen atoms, it can be subjected to a condensation reaction with compounds which contain a reactive hydrogen atom which is bonded via a hetero-atom and is able to react with a detachable substituent of the reactive radical with the formation of a group bonded via the hetero-atom. Thus, it is possible to replace a chlorine atom in a trichloropyrimidine radical by means of reaction with ammonia or an amine, alcohol, phenol or mercaptan by one of the corresponding radicals.
Instead of subsequently replacing a halogen atom in a dihalogenotriazine radical by an amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio or arylthio group, it is also possible to use, as the fibre-reactive acylating agent, a dihalogenotriazine which already contains an amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio or arylthio group bonded to the triazine ring.
Further important azo dyes of the formula (1) are those which contain a monohalogenotriazine radical which is bonded via an amino group and contains, in addition to the halogen atom, an amino group bonded to the triazine ring, a further reactive radical, especially a halogenotriazine radical, being bonded to this amino group. If the second additional reactive radical is a halogenotriazine radical, it is preferably bonded to the first triazine radical via the radical of an alkylenediamine or arylenediamine. The fibre-reactive amino group present, in addition to the halogen atom, in the monohalogenotriazine radical thus preferably has the structure ##STR24## in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are a hydrogen atom or alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, A.sub.1 is an alkylene or arylene radical, Z.sub.1 is a halogen atom, for example a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom, and Z.sub.2 is a halogen atom or an amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio or arylthio group. A.sub.1 can be an alkylene radical with a relatively short or relatively long chain, for example an ethylene or hexylene radical, but preferably A.sub.1 is a benzene radical, for example a m- or p-phenylene radical and especially a phenylenesulfonic acid radical. An amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio or arylthio group Z.sub.2 is, for example, the radical of one of the abovementioned amino, hydroxy or mercapto compounds.
In a particular embodiment, Z.sub.2 in formula (22) is the same as the chromogenic radical of the azo dye of the formula (1).
The condensation reactions of 2,4,6-trihalogeno-s-triazines with diazo components and/or coupling components and with amino, hydroxy and mercapto compounds are preferably carried out in aqueous solution or suspension, at low temperature and at a weakly acid or neutral to weakly alkaline pH value and so that a halogen atom still remains, as a detachable radical, on the triazine ring in the finished azo dye of the formula (1). Advantageously, the hydrogen halide liberated during the condensation reaction is neutralised continuously by the addition of aqueous alkali metal hydroxides, carbonates or bicarbonates.
If an azo dye of the formula (1) contains one or two .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl radicals, these can be converted to .alpha.-bromoacryloyl radicals by treatment with agents which split off hydrogen halide, such as sodium hydroxide or triethylamine.
Depending on the starting materials chosen, it is also possible, according to the procedures described above, to prepare bis-reactive azo dyes of the formula (1) which contain two different reactive radicals, for example an .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl radical and a 4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl radical.
The diazotisation of the diazo components of the formula (8) is as a rule effected by the action of nitrous acid in aqueous/mineral acid solution at low temperature and the coupling reaction with the coupling components of the formula (9) is carried out at weakly acid or neutral to weakly alkaline pH values.
If the radical D in formula (1) contains a complex-forming group, for example a hydroxyl or carboxyl group or an alkoxy group, such as a methoxy group, in the ortho-position relative to the azo group, the resulting azo dyes can (if desired before they are converted to reactive dyes or afterwards) be converted to their heavy metal complex compounds for example to the copper, chromium, nickel or cobalt complex compounds.
For this purpose, metal donors used are, for example, salts which contain the said metals as the cation, for example chromium sulfates, cobalt acetates, cobalt sulfate, copper sulfate or copper acetate. In some cases it is advantageous to use complex metal compounds, for example in the form of metal-ammine complexes, such as copper ammine sulfates obtained from copper sulfate and ammonia, pyridine or monoethanolamine, or in the form of compounds which contain one of the said metals in a complex bond with the anion, for example complex chromium compounds of organic hydroxycarboxylic acids, such as salicylic acid, or complex cobalt or copper compounds of the alkali metal salts of aliphatic aminocarboxylic acids or hydroxycarboxylic acids, such as of glycocol, lactic acid and, in particular, tartaric acid, such as sodium copper tartrate.
The treatment with the metal donors can be carried out according to methods known per se, for example at room temperature or at moderately elevated temperature, if the starting dyes are easily metallisable or, if a dealkylation has to take place at the same time as the metallisation, by warming to temperatures of between 50.degree. and 120.degree. C. in an open vessel, for example with reflux cooling, or, if desired, in a closed vessel under pressure, the pH conditions being determined by the nature of the metallisation process chosen; for example acid coppering with copper sulfate or alkaline coppering with copper tetramine sulfate. If desired, solvents, for example alcohol, dimethylformamide and the like, can also be added during the metallisation.
The metal complex compounds obtainable can contain one atom of metal bonded as a complex to one or two azo dye molecules. When copper compounds and nickel compounds are used as the metal donors, the compounds formed are, for example, preferably those which contain one atom of metal per one azo dye molecule, whilst when chromium is used, and in particular when cobalt is used, the 1:2 types are readily accessible and particularly valuable.
Instead of using o,o'-dihydroxyazo dyes as the starting materials, the corresponding o-alkoxy-o'-hydroxyazo dyes can also be used as starting materials; in this case, the alkyl group of the o-alkoxy radical is detached during metallisation and the metal complexes obtained are the same as those obtained from the o,o'-dihydroxy dyes.
The azo dyes of the formula (1) and their heavy metal complexes are novel; they are suitable for dyeing and printing very diverse materials, for example silk, leather, wool, synthetic fibers made of high-molecular weight polyamides or high-molecular weight polyurethanes, and polyhydroxylated materials, for example cellulose-containing materials having a fibrous structure, such as linen, cellulose, regenerated cellulose, cotton and the like.
The azo dyes of the formula (1) which contain a reactive radical are preferably used for dyeing nitrogen-containing fibres, for example high-molecular weight polyamides, high-molecular weight polyurethanes, silk, leather and, in particular, wool, for example from a weakly acid, neutral or weakly alkaline bath, if desired with the addition of the conventional assistants, for example the condensation products of ethylene oxide and high-molecular amines, and in particular cellulose materials, especially cotton, for example by the exhaustion process from a long liquor, from an alkaline, aqueous bath which can have a high salt content, and especially by the pad dyeing process, according to which the goods are impregnated with aqueous dye solutions, which can also contain salts, and the dyes are fixed after an alkali treatment or in the presence of alkali, if necessary under the action of heat.
The reactive dyes are also suitable for printing, especially on cotton, but are likewise also suitable for printing nitrogen-containing fibres, for example wool, silk or mixed fabrics containing wool.
The dyeings and prints are distinguished by interesting and valuable, very clear and brilliant shades. The dyeings and prints have good stability to acid and alkali and also good stability to synthetic resin finishes, good fastness to light and, especially on cotton, outstanding wet fastness properties. The high degree of fixation and the easy removability of non-fixed portions of dye are also worthy of mention.
In order to improve the wet fastness properties it is advisable to subject the dyeings and prints obtained to thorough rinsing with cold and hot water, if necessary with the addition of an agent which acts as a dispersant and promotes the diffusion of the non-fixed portions.

In the following examples parts are by weight unless stated otherwise, percentages are by weight and the temperatures are in degrees Centigrade. The relationship between parts by weight and parts by volume is the same as that between gram and cubic centimeter.
EXAMPLE 1
30 parts of 10 N hydrochloric acid and 25 parts of 4 N sodium nitrite solution are added to an ice-cold neutral solution of 23.0 parts of 3-aminoacetanilide-4-sulfonic acid in 200 parts of water. A solution of 29.6 parts of the sodium salt of 1-ethyl-3-carbamoyl-4-methyl-5-methylsulfonyl-6-hydroxy-pyrid-2-one in 300 parts of water is then added to the suspension of the diazo compound. The pH of the coupling mixture is adjusted to 7.5 by dropwise addition of about 90 parts of 2 N sodium hydroxide solution.
On the following day, the dye formed is filtered off and washed with saturated sodium chloride solution. In order to detach the acetyl group, the dye which has been isolated is warmed with 500 parts of 2 molar sulfuric acid at 90.degree.-95.degree. for 5 hours. After cooling, the dye of the formula ##STR25## is filtered off and washed with saturated sodium chloride solution.
8.6 parts of the above dye are suspended in 150 parts of water and the pH is adjusted to 7 with 10 N sodium hydroxide solution. The suspension is cooled to 0.degree.-5.degree. and a solution of 3.7 parts of cyanuric chloride in 20 parts of acetone is added. Dropwise addition of 1 N sodium hydroxide solution is started after 15 minutes and the pH is adjusted to 7. About 20 parts of 1 N sodium hydroxide solution are required for this. 8 parts of 25% ammonia are then added to the clear solution of the dichlorotriazine dye and the mixture is warmed at 40.degree.-45.degree. for 3 hours. The aminochlorotriazine dye of the formula ##STR26## which has formed is salted out with 20% by volume of a mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride (1:1). filtered off and dried in vacuo at 50.degree..
The dye thus obtained dyes cotton in yellow shades.
Similar dyes are obtained when corresponding amounts of the following pyridone coupling components are used in Example 1 in place of 1-ethyl-3-carbamoyl-4-methyl-5-methylsulfonyl-6-hydroxy-pyrid-2-one: 1-ethyl-3-carbamoyl-4-methyl-5-ethylsulfonyl-6-hydroxy-pyrid-2-one, 1-n-propyl-3-carbamoyl-4-methyl-5-methylsulfonyl-6-hydroxy-pyrid-2-one, 1-methyl-4-methyl-5-phenyl-sulfonyl-6-hydroxy-pyrid-2-one, 1-ethyl-3-carbamoyl-4-isopropyl-5-methylsulfonyl-6-hydroxy-pyrid-2-one and 1-ethyl-4-ethyl-5-methylsulfonyl-6-hydroxy-pyrid-2-one.
Further fibre-reactive azo dyes are obtained in the same way as described in Example 1 when the aminoazo dyes in column I in the following table are acylated with the reactive components of column II; the resulting reactive dyes dye cotton in the shades indicated in column III.

C.
