When dry, the dyestuff, which is in the sodium salt form, is a dark brown powder and dyes leather in deep reddish brown shades.
The corresponding Co- and Cr-complexes may be produced by replacing the iron-III-chloride, used above, with cobalt- and chromium-donating copounds employing the conditions as set out in Examples 2 and 4.
EXAMPLE 52
The dyestuff of the formula ##STR65## obtained in analogy with the process described in Example 1 may be metallized to form 1:2 cobalt, 1:2 chromium, 1:2 iron, 1:1 copper and 1:1 nickel complexes in analogy with the procedure described in Examples 1 to 5. Among the preferred compounds of this application are those of the formulae ##STR66## and the 1:2 cobalt and 1:2 iron complexes thereof, wherein M is hydrogen or a non-chromophoric cation, and mixtures of 1:2 iron and 1:2 cobalt complexes of a compound of the formula ##STR67## wherein M is hydrogen or a non-chromophoric cation.
Application Example A
100 Parts of newly tanned and neutralised chromium grain leater are milled in the dyeing vessel for 30 minutes in a liquor consisting of 250 parts of water at 55.degree. and 1 part of the dyestuff produced in Example 1, they are treated for 30 minutes in the same bath with 2 parts of an anionic fat-liquor based on sulphonated train oil, and the leathers are dried and finished in the usual manner. An evenly dyed leather in a deep grey-brown shade is obtained.
Application Example B
100 Parts of calf suede leather are milled for 4 hours in the dyeing vessel with 1000 parts of water and 2 parts of ammonia and are dyed as follows in a new bath containing 500 parts of water at 55.degree., 2 parts of ammonia and 10 parts of the dissolved dyestuff produced in Example 1, for 1 hour and 30 minutes. In order to exhaust the dyebath, 4 parts of formic acid (85%) are slowly added and dyeing is continued until the dyestuff has been completely fixed. The suede leather which is rinsed, dried and finished in the usual manner is evenly dyed in a deep brown shade after buffing the suede side.
Application Example C
100 Parts of chromium-vegetable tanned lamb's leather and 10 parts of the dyestuff obtained in Example 1 are milled for 45 minutes in the dyeing vessel in a liquor consisting of 1000 parts of water at 55.degree. and 1.5 parts of an anionic sperm oil emulsion and the dyestuff is fixed on the leather by slowly adding 5 parts of formic acid (85%) over the course of 30 minutes. After the usual drying and finishing processes, a leather is obtained which is dyed in an even deep grey-brown shade.
Application Example D
A solution of 20 parts of the dyestuff produced in accordance with Example 1 in 847 parts of water, 150 parts of ethyl gylcol and 3 parts of formic acid (85%) is applied by spraying, plushing and pouring to the grain side of a buffed, combination-tanned cow-hide. The leather is dried and finished under mild conditions. A leather dyed in a dark grey-brown shade having notable fastness properties is obtained.
Replacing the dyestuff of Example 1 with the same amount of the dyestuffs of Examples 2 to 51 and employing the procedure of Examples A to D above, leather dyeings with similar properties are obtained, the shade of the dyeings obtained is indicated in the corresponding production Examples or in the introduction to the Tables.
