Description

The present invention relates to novel reactive dyes of the formula I ##STR2## where R.sup.1 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl,

X is hydrogen or hydroxysulfonyl, Hal is fluorine or chlorine, D is phenylene, carboxyl- or hydroxysulfonyl-monosubstituted or -disubstituted phenylene or hydroxysulfonyl-monosubstituted or -disubstituted naphthylene, A is a fiber-reactive radical, or A--D combined is a benzo-fused fiber-reactive radical, and Z is a bridge member of the formula ##STR3## where R.sup.2 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl.

JP-A-27 628/1978 and DE-A-3 135 432 disclose reactive dyes which are similar to those of the formula I. However, they differ in the bridge member Z which joins the two chromophore radicals together

It has been found that the prior art dyes still have application defects.

It is an object of the present invention to provide new reactive dyes having advantageous properties, in particular a high fixation efficiency.

We have found that this object is achieved by the reactive dyes of the formula I defined in more detail at the beginning.

R.sup.2 in the formula I is for example methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl or sec-butyl.

D is for example ##STR4##

Fiber-reactive radicals A are those which react substitutively or additively with the hydroxyl- or nitrogen-containing groups of the substrates to be treated. The fact that the reactive radical A reacts substitutively with the relevant groups in the substrates, for example with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose, means that the leaving groups or atoms (for example fluorine or chlorine) are replaced in the fiber-reactive radical A by the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose in accordance with the following scheme: ##STR5##

The fact that the fiber-reactive radical A reacts additively with the relevant groups in the substrates, for example with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose, means that the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose are added to the fiber-reactive radical in accordance with the following scheme: ##STR6##

Fiber-reactive radicals A are for example vinylsulfonyl, 2-hydroxyethylsulfonyl radicals which are esterified with polybasic inorganic acids and form vinylsulfonyl under dyeing conditions, halogen-substituted radicals of 1,3,5-triazine, quinoxaline, phthalazine, pyrimidine or pyridazone, and the 2-alkylsulfonylbenzothiazole radical.

Examples are the following radicals: --SO.sub.2 --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 OSO.sub.3 H, --SO.sub.2 --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 OPO.sub.3 H.sub.2, ##STR7## where Hal is fluorine or chlorine and R.sup.3 is hydrogen or nitro and the rings B and C may each be substituted by hydroxysulfonyl and the ring C independently thereof by chlorine, nitro, by up to two methoxy groups or by up to three C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl groups.

If the radical A--D is a benzo-fused reactive radical, a possibility is for example the 2-alkylsulfonylbenzothiazole radical. Examples are the radicals ##STR8##

Radicals of the coupling components of the formula ##STR9## are for example ##STR10## where R.sup.1 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl.

Preference is given to reactive dyes of the formula I where A is a radical of the formula ##STR11## where Hal is as defined above, R.sup.4 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl,

R.sup.5 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy and R.sup.6 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or hydroxysulfonyl.

Preference is further given to reactive dyes of the formula I where D is the radical ##STR12##

Preference is further given to reactive dyes of the formula I where the radical ##STR13##

Preference is further given to reactive dyes of the formula I where the bridge member Z conforms to the formula Z.sup.1 and is the radical ##STR14## where R.sup.2 is in each case as defined above.

Particular preference is given to reactive dyes of the formula Ia ##STR15## where X is hydrogen or hydroxysulfonyl and Z.sup.1 is as defined above.

Particular preference is further given to reactive dyes of the formula Ib ##STR16## where Hal is fluorine or chlorine,

R.sup.4 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, R.sup.5 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, R.sup.6 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or hydroxysulfonyl, X is hydrogen or hydroxysulfonyl, and Z.sup.1 is as defined above.

Particular preference is further given to reactive dyes which conform to the formula Ic ##STR17## where Z.sup.1 is as defined above.

Particular preference is further given to reactive dyes which conform to the formula Id ##STR18## where Hal is fluorine or chlorine,

R.sup.4 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, R.sup.5 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, R.sup.6 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or hydroxysulfonyl, and Z.sup.1 is as defined above.

Of particular note are reactive dyes of the formula Ib where R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each hydrogen and R.sup.6 is hydroxysulfonyl or where R.sup.4 is hydrogen, R.sup.5 is o,o'-C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 -alkyl and R.sup.6 is methyl or hydrogen.

The novel reactive dyes of the formula I are prepared in a conventional manner.

For example,

a) an amine of the formula II A--D--NH.sub.2 (II) where A and D are each as defined above, can be diazotized and coupled with a coupling component of the formula III ##STR19## where R.sup.1, X, Z and Hal are each as defined above.

A further method comprises for example diazotizing

b) an amine of the formula II and coupling it with a coupling component of the formula IV ##STR20## where R.sup.1, X and Hal are each as defined above, and reacting the product with a compound of the formula V ZH.sub.2 (V) where Z is as defined above.

A further method comprises for example diazotizing

c) an amine of the formula VI ##STR21## where Hal and D are each as defined above, coupling it with a coupling component III and optionally reacting the product with an aniline derivative of the formula VII ##STR22## where R.sup.4 and the ring C are each as defined above.

The novel reactive dyes of the formula I are advantageously suitable for dyeing or printing hydroxyl- or nitrogen-containing organic substrates. Such substrates are for example leather and fiber material which predominantly contain natural or synthetic polyamides or natural or regenerated cellulose The novel dyes are preferably used for dyeing and printing textile material based on cotton. Used in this way, they are notable for high fixation efficiencies.

The following Examples will further illustrate the invention:

EXAMPLE 1

a) An ice-cold suspension of 2-methylamino-5-aminobenzenesulfonic acid was prepared by acidifying a solution of 63 g of the sodium salt in 1000 ml of ice-water (down to pH 2), and 111 g of cyanuric chloride were added. 77 g of sodium bicarbonate were sprinkled in to adjust the pH to 5, and the suspension was subsequently stirred at 0.degree.-5.degree. C. for 3 hours until acylation of the amino groups was complete. The suspension of the bisacyl compound was then admixed with a solution of 191 g of 1-aminonaphth-8-ol-3,6-disulfonic acid in 400 ml of water and 35 ml of 50% strength by weight sodium hydroxide solution, brought to pH 5 and stirred at 40.degree. C. for three hours. A small amount of suspended solids was then filtered off and the product of the formula ##STR23## was precipitated with 600 g of sodium chloride. The precipitate was filtered off with suction, washed with 15% strength by weight sodium chloride solution and used in the form of a moist presscake for processing into the dyes described hereinafter. The crude yield was 91% of theory as tetrasodium salt.

b) 14.1 g (0.05 mol) of 4-(2-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline were dissolved with 10 ml of saturated sodium acetate solution in 150 ml of water at room temperature and cooled by stirring with 75 g of ice in an icebath. 15 ml of 3.33N aqueous sodium nitrite solution and 15 ml of 30% strength by weight hydrochloric acid were then simultaneously added dropwise, and the suspension was subsequently stirred at 0.degree.-5.degree. C. for about an hour. After excess nitrous acid had been destroyed with sulfamic acid, the suspension was admixed with a solution of 0.024 mol of the coupling component of a) in 200 ml of water. The coupling was carried out by the dropwise addition of 15 ml of saturated sodium acetate solution (down to pH 2) and two hours' stirring with warming to room temperature. The resulting dye of the formula ##STR24## was precipitated with 150 g of potassium chloride, filtered off with suction, washed with acetone and dried at room temperature under reduced pressure

Applied to cotton from an alkaline bath, it produces bluish red dyeings over a wide temperature range, starting from room temperature, with very high dyeing efficiency.

EXAMPLE 2

a) A solution of 0.38 mol of 1-aminonaphth-8-ol-3,6-disulfonic acid in 250 ml of water and 21 ml of 50% strength by weight sodium hydroxide solution was added to a thoroughly stirred suspension of 73.8 g (0.4 mol) of cyanuric chloride in 450 ml of ice-water and 5 ml of 30% strength by weight hydrochloric acid, and the mixture was subsequently stirred at 5.degree.-8.degree. C. for 2.5 hours until acylation of the aminonaphthalene was complete. This solution was then admixed with a solution of 34 g (0.18 mol) of 3,5-diaminobenzene-1-sulfonic acid in 200 ml of water and 10 ml of 50% strength by weight sodium hydroxide solution and adjusted to pH 5 with 20% strength by weight ice-cold sodium hydroxide solution. After stirring overnight at pH 5 and room temperature, the resulting product of the formula ##STR25## was filtered off with suction as the sodium salt, washed with 5% strength by weight sodium chloride solution and used in the coupling reactions described hereinafter. The yield of crude product was 93% of theory.

b) 20.3 g (0.05 mol) of 2-(N-methyl-N-phenylamino)-4-chloro-6-(3'-amino-4'-hydroxysulfonylphenylamino)-s-triazine were dissolved with sodium bicarbonate in 250 ml of water (to pH 7) and admixed with 15 ml of 3.33 N aqueous sodium nitrite solution. The diazotization was carried out by slowly pouring this solution into 100 g of ice and 15 ml of 30% strength by weight hydrochloric acid. After stirring in the cold for one hour, excess nitrous acid was destroyed with sulfamic acid, and the jelly-like yellowish solution was added to a suspension of 0.024 mol of the binary coupling component a) in 250 ml of water, 100 g of ice and 15 g of sodium bicarbonate. The resulting dye of the formula ##STR26## was precipitated from the solution with 100 g of sodium chloride, filtered off with suction, washed with 2.5% strength by weight sodium chloride solution and then with acetone and dried at room temperature under reduced pressure. Applied to cotton from an alkaline bath by the exhaust method at 80.degree. C. it produces bluish red shades with a very high fixation efficiency.

The dyes listed in Table 1 below are obtained in a similar manner and likewise produce bluish to yellowish red shades with a very high dyeing efficiency.

This solution was added to a suspension of 51.7 g of cyanuric chloride in 250 ml of ice-water and 1 ml of 30% strength by weight hydrochloric acid, and the pH was adjusted to 5 with 30 g of sodium bicarbonate. After three hours, stirring at 0.degree.-5.degree. C. and pH 5, a sample was no longer couplable, and the diacylaminobenzenesulfonic acid was present in solution as the sodium salt.
