The preferred cations are the alkali metal cations and ammonium, with sodium being the most preferred.
The present invention further provides a process for the preparation of compounds of formula I comprising reacting the following components:
diazotised amino compounds of formulae IIa and IIb, ##STR23## in which R.sub.1 to R.sub.4 are as defined above and each W is independently hydrogen, hydroxy or methoxy,
coupling components of formula III, ##STR24## in which X and R.sub.5 are as defined above;
a triazine halogenide or a compound of formula IV, ##STR25## in which Hal is halogen, and Bx is --CH.dbd.CH--, --(CH.sub.2).sub.0--4 --, ##STR26## optionally an inorganic base or a compound of formula H-Yx, in which Yx has one of the significances of Y as defined above with the exception of halogen and hydroxy; and/or
a corresponding diamine or diamine/acid dichloride to introduce the bridge member ##STR27## a copper-donating compound to obtain a 1:1 copper complex;
which components must be present in the corresponding stoichiometric molar ratios to obtain a compound of formula I--by coupling and condensing in any desired order and coppering the resulting monoazo compounds before or after the condensation reactions.
In the case where different compounds of formulae IIa and IIb and/or different compounds of formula III are employed and the coupling reactions are carried out other than by two separate processes, namely by a one step mixed coupling, a mixture of compounds of formula I is obtained consisting of those compounds having two different chromophores and those having identical chromophores.
The 1:1 metallisation is carried out in accordance with known methods. Suitably, the corresponding hydroxy group-containing compounds (W.dbd.OH) are used as starting materials, and coppering is preferably effected at a temperature range of 20.degree.-50.degree. C. in a weakly acid reaction medium using the conventional copper(II) salts. Likewise, oxidative coppering (W.dbd.H), preferably at 40.degree.-70.degree. C. and at pH 4-7 in the presence of copper(II) salts or using copper powder in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or other conventional oxidising agents; or demethylation coppering (W.dbd.OCH.sub.3), preferably at pH 4-6 and at elevated to boiling temperature in the presence of copper (II) salts, is carried out.
Diazotisation and coupling reactions may be effected in conventional manner. The replacement of the halogen atoms in a triazine halogenide by separate condensation steps may be effected in conventional manner. Likewise, the condensation with a compound of formula IV may be carried out in conventional manner.
The compounds of formula I may be isolated in accordance with known methods, for example by conventional salting out, for example with an alkali metal salt, filtering and drying in vacuo.
Depending on the reaction and isolation conditions a compound of formula I is obtained in free acid or preferably salt form or even mixed salt form containing, for example, one or more of the above mentioned cations. It may be converted from free acid form to a salt form or mixture of salt forms or vice versa or from one salt form to another by conventional means.
The starting materials, compounds of formulae IIa, IIb, III and IV, are either known or may be prepared in accordance with known methods from available starting materials.
The compounds of formula I and mixtures thereof which are preferably in salt form are useful for dyeing or printing hydroxy group- or nitrogen-containing organic substrates. Preferred substrates are paper, leather and textiles containing or consisting of cellulose fibres, such as cotton. Most preferred is cotton or regenerated cellulose, particularly cotton, which also may be blended together or individually with other suitable textile fibres.
The compounds according to the invention show high affinity for the substrate and therefore are good direct dyes. Dyeing and printing may be carried out in accordance with known methods. Dyeing of natural or regenerated cellulose such as cotton is preferably carried out according to the conventional exhaust dyeing method using temperatures from 50.degree. to 100.degree. C. Continuous dyeing methods are also suitable and thus processes such as cold pad-batch, pad-steam, pad-roll or pad-dry may be applied.
The compounds of formula I have high colouring strength and give high exhaust and fixation yields. They are well compatible with other dyes and may be applied per se or in combination with appropriate dyes of the same class showing similar dyeing properties. The dyeings obtained with such combination mixtures have good fastness properties.
Generally, the dyeings and prints obtained on the above mentioned substrates exhibit good wet fastness properties (such as fastness to water, washing or sweat) and good light fastness. Furthermore, they are stable to any oxidative influences, e.g., chlorinated water, hypochlorite bleach, peroxide or perborate containing wash liquors.
The wet fastness properties of the dyeings or prints on hydroxy group- or nitrogen-containing textile fibres, and preferably on textile material consisting of or containing cellulose fibres, particularly cotton, made with the compounds of formula I may be further improved by a special aftertreatment with a polymeric polybasic amino compound (A) which is suitably carried out at a pH of from 7 to 14. Particularly, this aftertreatment gives improved wash fastness properties allowing repeated washing at 60.degree. C.

The pH of the aftertreatment bath may be adjusted by addition of alkali metal carbonate or hydroxide, preferably sodium or potassium carbonate or hydroxide. The liquor to goods ratio of the aftertreatment bath may be from 2:1 to 50:1, and the dyed or printed substrate may be dried before aftertreatment.
In a preferred aftertreatment process, the dyed or printed substrate is added at room temperature to a bath containing the required amount of compound (A) and 5 to 10 g/l of electrolyte, and adjusted with sodium carbonate to pH 10-11. Within 10 minutes the bath is raised to 60.degree. C. and the substrate is treated at this temperature for 20 minutes. Finally, the aftertreated substrate is rinsed, optionally neutralised, and dried.
Dyeings and prints aftertreated according to the invention give better wet fastness properties than untreated dyeings.
The following examples in which parts and percentages are by weight or volume unless otherwise stated, and temperatures are in degrees Centigrade, illustrate the subject matter of the invention, Percentage figures for components of a dyebath or treatment bath are based on the dry weight of substrate.

EXAMPLE 1
53.8 Parts of 2-amino-1-hydroxybenzene-4,6-disulphonic acid (100%) are stirred in 80 parts of water, 120 parts of ice and 6.9 parts of 30% hydrochloric acid. Diazotisation is effected with 13.8 parts of sodium nitrite in 50 parts of water at a temperature not higher than 12.degree.. After diazotisation is completed any excess nitrite is decomposed by adding a small amount of sulphamic acid.
To a mixture consisting of 37.8 parts of 1-(4'-aminophenyl)-3-methylpyrazol-5-one (100%) which were stirred with 300 parts of water, dissolved by the addition of 44 parts of a 30% sodium hydroxide solution and adjusted to pH 7.5, the above obtained diazo suspension is added dropwise during one hour at room temperature and at pH 7.3-7.5. The pH is kept in the range of 7.3-7.5 with the addition of a small amount of a 20% soda solution. Stirring is effected overnight to complete the coupling reaction.
Subsequently, the pH is adjusted to 6.5 with 30% hydrochloric acid, and the mixture is heated to 45.degree.. 40 Parts of sodium acetate (crystalline) are then added. Within 30 minutes a solution of 50 parts of copper sulphate pentahydrate in 180 parts of water is added dropwise. The thus obtained complex dye precipitates at pH 4-5. The reaction mixture is adjusted to pH 5-6 by adding dilute sodium hydroxide solution and is filtered, and the precipitate is washed with a 20%, followed by a 10% sodium chloride solution.
The resulting wet press cake is dissolved in water at pH 7. Within 30 minutes at pH 5-6 this solution is pumped into a mixture consisting of 200 parts of ice, 100 parts of water and 36.9 parts of cyanuric chloride. The reaction temperature is elevated to room temperature and the pH is raised to 7.
At room temperature and at pH 7-8 10.8 parts of p-phenylene diamine are added to this mixture. It is heated to 40.degree. and stirred overnight at pH 8 which is kept by adding 20% soda solution. Subsequently, the pH is adjusted to 4.5 and the temperature is raised to 85.degree.. The resulting product is precipitated by the stepwise addition of sodium chloride. After stirring for a short time the precipitate is filtered off at ca. 80.degree., washed with a 10% sodium chloride solution and dried. The resulting dyestuff which, in the free acid form, has the formula ##STR31## dyes cotton a brownish-yellow shade. These cotton dyeings show good light- and wet-fastness properties.
EXAMPLE 2
28 Parts of the dried dyestuff obtained according to the method given in Example 1 are stirred in 450 parts of water with the addition of 3.6 parts of morpholine. The resulting suspension is heated to 95.degree., and stirring is effected for one hour at this temperature. The reaction product is precipitated by the stepwise addition of sodium chloride. The thus obtained dyestuff is filtered and dried; it corresponds (in free acid form) to the formula ##STR32## and dyes cotton, particularly according to the exhaust method, a yellow-brown shade. These dyeings hav notable good light- and wet-fastness properties.
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
In the following examples the application of the compounds of this invention and the aftertreatment of the resulting dyeings with a polymeric compound (A) is illustrated. Polymeric polybasic compounds (A) suitable as fixing agent are as follows:
(Aa1)
Product (A) of Example 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,410,652.
(Aa2)
The product of Example 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,439,203.
(Aa3)
The product of Example 1 of published British Patent Application No. 2,154,615A.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE I
0.5 Parts of the dye of Example 1 are dissolved in 200 parts of water at 60.degree.. 10 Parts of cotton fabric, 16 parts of Glauber's salt and 4 parts of sodium carbonate are subsequently added to the dyebath. The temperature is raised to 98.degree. over 45 minutes.
Dyeing is continued for 1 hour at 98.degree.. During dyeing, the water that evaporates is continuously replaced. The dyed fabric is then removed from the liquor, rinsed with running cold and hot water, and washed at the boil for 15 minutes in 500 parts of demineralised water in the presence of 0.25 parts of a commercially available anion-active detergent. After rinsing and drying a brownish-yellow dyeing is obtained having good light- and wet-fastness properties.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE II
0.5 Parts of the dye of Example 1 or 2 are dissolved in 200 parts of demineralised water. The dyebath is heated to 50.degree.-60.degree., then 10 parts of cotton cretonne fabric (bleached) are added. Within 30 minutes the temperature is elevated to 98.degree.. At this temperature 1 part and after 10 minutes further 2 parts of Glauber's salt (calcined) are added, and the dyeing temperature is kept at 98.degree. for 35 minutes. Finally, the dyebath is cooled to 80.degree. within 15 minutes. Water that evaporates during the dyeing process is continuously replaced by demineralised water of 98.degree.. The dyeing is rinsed with running cold water, centrifuged and dried at 80.degree.. The resulting cotton dyeing in both cases is brownish-yellow.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE III
100 Parts of cotton woven fabric (bleached) are dyed in conventional manner, for example according to the method given in Application Example I or II, with 3 parts of the dye of Example 1 or 2. The dyed substrate is then aftertreated, without an intermediate drying step, for 20 minutes at 60.degree. at a liquor to goods ratio of 20:1 in an aqueous bath containing 2 parts of the polymeric compound (Aa1) and 6 g/l sodium carbonate, giving a pH of 11.0. Finally the substrate is rinsed with cold water and dried.
The aftertreated brownish-yellow cotton dyeing has good wash fastness properties and is resistant to washing at the boil.
When in Application Example III product (Aa1) is replaced with corresponding amounts of products (Aa2) or (Aa3), similar good results are obtained. The aftertreated cotton dyeings, in view of their good wash fastness properties, resist repeated washing processes.
EXAMPLES 3 TO 60 (TABLE 1)
By analogy with the method described in Examples 1 and 2, using appropriate starting compounds (though the analogous process step concerning the condensation with p-phenylene diamine is omitted since the chromophores in all dyes of these examples are connected by a single triazine bridge), further compounds of formula I can be prepared which are listed in the following Table 1. They correspond (in free acid form) to formula X ##STR33## in which the symbols are as defined in Table 1.
EXAMPLES 61 TO 122 (TABLE 2)
By analogy with the method described in Examples 1 and 2, using appropriate starting compounds, further compounds of formula I can be prepared which are listed in Table 2. They correspond, in free acid form, to formula XI, ##STR34## in which the symbols are as defined in Table 2.
EXAMPLES 123 TO 138 (TABLE 3)
By analogy with the method described in Example 1 further compounds of formula I can be prepared using the corresponding amount of acid dichloride instead of cyanuric chloride, while the process step concerning the condensation with a diamine is omitted. These dyes correspond to formula XII ##STR35## in which the symbols are as defined in Table 3.
EXAMPLES 139 TO 152 (TABLE 4)
By analogy with the method described in Examples 1 and 2, further compounds of formula I can be prepared which correspond, in free acid form, to formula XIII ##STR36## in which the symbols are as defined in Table 4. Since the chromophores in these dyes are not identical, pure asymmetric dyes with respect to the chromophores are obtained by reacting the different coppered monoazo compounds with cyanuric chloride (while a condensation reaction with diamine is omitted) in successive process steps. Otherwise, if the condensation reactions are carried out simultaneously or if a mixed coupling is effected, a mixture of symmetric and asymmetric dyes is obtained.
In the last column of each of Tables 1 to 4 the shade of the corresponding cotton dyeing is given under I, where
a is brownish-yellow to yellow-brown, and
b is brownish-orange.
The dyes of Examples 3 to 152 may be applied in analogous manner to Application Example I or II and aftertreated according to Application Example III; the thus obtained cotton dyeings have improved wash fastness properties.
