Abstract
A dye of Formula (1): ##STR1## wherein: D is a group of Formula (2): ##STR2## or a group of Formula (3): ##STR3## or a group of Formula (4): ##STR4## The variables are defined in the specification. The dyes and dye mixtures produce blue to green shades on synthetic textile materials such as polyester which have good build up and good light- and wet-fastness.
Description

This invention relates to dyes particularly 4-cyano-5-dicyanomethylidene derivatives, mixtures thereof, mixtures with other dyes types, their use to colour textile materials and to a process for the manufacture of such dyes.
Various types of disperse dyes, such as anthraquinone and azo dyes, have been used to dye synthetic textile materials blue to green shades but few of these have fully satisfactory properties and either do not build up well on the material, have poor temperature range properties or have inadequate light or wet fastness or are dyebath unstable or dull in shade.
The market leading dye in this shade area is an anthraquinone dye, C.I. Disperse Blue 60, its build up, heat fastness properties, on synthetic textile material, and its dyebath stability are relatively poor and it is tinctorially weak and thus relatively expensive to use.
GB 2191498 discloses certain symmetrical N,N-di-C.sub.1-6 -alkyl or substituted N-alkyl pyrroline dyes which are generally poor dyes which do not build up well on synthetic textile materials.
According to the present invention there is provided a dye of Formula (1): ##STR5## wherein:
D is a group of Formula (2): ##STR6##
or a group of Formula (3): ##STR7##

The dyes of the present invention may be used for the coloration of textile materials particularly synthetic textile materials especially polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide such as polyhexamethylene adipamide, polyurethane elastomers, cellulose acetate and triacetate. The dyes are also useful for colouring blends of fibres containing one or more synthetic textile materials together with other types of fibre such as polyester-cotton, polyester-wool and polyester-viscose blends. These uses form further features of the present invention. The textile materials may be in the form of filaments, loose fibres, yarn or may be in the form of woven or knitted fabrics. The present dyes, optionally in conjunction with other disperse dyes may be applied to the synthetic textile materials by methods employed in applying disperse dyes to such material for example by exhaust dyeing, continuous dyeing, printing and discharge printing processes using the conditions and additives conventionally used in carrying out such processes. The present dyes are generally dyebath stable and produce blue to green shades on polyester which have good build-up, temperature range and good light- and wet-fastness.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples in which all parts and percentages are by weight. Where NMR analyses are provided in the following examples m=multiplet, s=singlet, d=doublet, tr=triplet, bs=broadsinglet, q=quartet.

Preparation of 3-(1-heptyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-5-yl)-4-cyano-5-dicyanomethylidene-2-oxo-2,5-dihydropyrrole
i) Sodium metal (6.9 parts) was added to absolute ethanol (130 parts) in small portions over about 1 hour allowing the temperature to rise to approximately 60.degree. C. The solution of sodium ethoxide thus formed was cooled to 30.degree. C. and diethyloxalate (22.5 parts) was added over about 10 minutes whilst maintaining the temperature at 30.degree. C. to 35.degree. C. Malononitrile dimer (19.7 parts, ex Lonza Chemicals) was added over about 15 minutes whilst maintaining the temperature at 35.degree. C. to 40.degree. C.
The reaction mixture was heated to 60.degree. C. for 30 minutes before cooling to ambient temperature. The precipitated product was collected by filtration, washed with ethanol and dried at 50.degree. C. to give the disodium salt of 4-cyano-5-dicyanomethylidene-3-hydroxy-2-oxo-2,5-dihydropyrrole (33 parts, 96%).
ii) 1-Heptyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole
A mixture of indoline (17 parts), 1-bromoheptane (31 parts), potassium carbonate (24 parts) and N,N-dimethylformamide (30 parts) was stirred at 100.degree. C. for 3 days. The cooled mixture was diluted with toluene, washed with water (.times.4), dried (MgSO.sub.4) and evaporated to leave 1-heptyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole (30 parts).
iii) A stirred mixture of the disodium salt of 4-cyano-5-dicyanomethylidene-3-hydroxy-2-oxo-2,5-dihydropyrrole (8.7 parts), 1-heptyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole (9.2 parts), acetic anhydride (1.5 parts) and dry N,N-dimethylformamide (70 parts) was cooled to between -10.degree. C. and -15.degree. C. Phosphorus oxychloride (13.4 parts) was added to this dropwise while maintaining the temperature at less than -10.degree. C. The reaction was allowed to warm up to room temperature over 1 hour and then stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was poured into a stirred ice-water mixture (300 parts) and 3-(1-heptyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-5-yl)-4-cyano-5-dicyanomethylidene-2-oxo-2,5-dihydropyrrole (9.6 parts) was collected by filtration.

Comparative Testing
The build up of certain pyrroline dyes on polyester textile material and the maximum Integ for 1% colour of the dye was assessed after exhaust dyeing at 130.degree. C. C.I. Disperse Blue 60 was used as a control.
The Integ value is a single number estimate of the depth of shade of a dye on a fabric. The higher the Integ value the deeper shade. Measurement and calculation of integ values is described in Journal of Society of Dyers and Colourists, Volume 96, April 1980, pages 166-176.
The results are summarised in Table 1 below:
