Monoazo dyes which are free from water-solubilizing groups and which contain a fluorosulphonyl group and process for colouring polyamides and polyester materials therewith

Description

This application claims benefit of international application PCT/GB94/02831, filed Dec. 30, 1994.
The present invention relates to a process for colouring synthetic textile materials, to synthetic textiles when coloured, to a process for the mass coloration of plastics, to plastics when coloured, to certain novel azo dyes and to compositions containing azo dyes.
GB-A-856,348 relates to water insoluble monoazo dyestuffs and discloses one specific dye containing a 4-fluorosulphonylnaphth-1-yl group which is disclaimed from the present claims.
GB-A-819,664 relates to water insoluble monoazo dyestuffs and discloses two specific dyes both of which are disclaimed from the present claims.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,576,037 relates to the coloration of cellulose acetate with certain --SO.sub.2 F containing azo dyes. Such dyes, particularly those which also contain --NC.sub.2 H.sub.4 OH groups or derivatives thereof are dye bath unstable and as such are unsuitable for coloration of polyester textile materials.
According to the present invention there is provided a process for colouring polyamide and aromatic polyester textile material or fibre blend thereof which comprises applying to the synthetic textile material a compound or mixture thereof, which is free from water solubilising groups, of Formula (1):
A--N.dbd.N--D Formula (1)
wherein
A and D each independently is an optionally substituted heterocyclic or carbocyclic group and at least one of A or D carries directly at least one --SO.sub.2 F group or carries a substituent to which at least one --SO.sub.2 F group is attached except for 4-(4-fluorosulphonylphenylazo)-N,N-dimethylaniline, provided that one of A or D is not 3,5-difluorosulphonylthien-2-yl, optionally substituted 1-phenyl-pyrazol-4-yl-5-one, 4-fluorosulphonylnaphth-1-yl or ##STR2## or that one of A or D does not carry an --NCH.sub.2 CH(OH)CH.sub.2 Cl, --NCOCH.sub.2 Cl or --NCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 F substituent.
Different compounds of Formula (1) may be mixed or the compounds of Formula (1) may be mixed with dyes which do not contain an --SO.sub.2 F group. The mixtures may be simple physical mixtures or may be mixed crystals formed for example by co-crystallisation. Such mixtures generally show improvement in dyeing properties. Crystalline modifications of compounds of Formula (1) exist and it is intended that the present definition includes such crystalline modifications which may be formed by heat treatment.
The presence of one or more --SO.sub.2 F groups in a dye molecule generally improves the properties of that dye and confers surprisingly good wet-fastness and light-fastness properties.
According to a first embodiment of the present invention there is provided a process for colouring a synthetic textile material or fibre blend thereof which comprises applying to the synthetic textile material a compound or mixture thereof, which is free from water solubilising groups, of Formula (1) wherein A and D each independently is an optionally substituted heterocyclic or carbocyclic group in which at least one of A or D carries directly at least one --SO.sub.2 F group or carries a substituent to which at least one --SO.sub.2 F group is attached and at least one of A or D carries directly at least one ester group or carries a substituent to which at least one ester group is attached.
Azo dyes containing both an --SO.sub.2 F and an ester group have improved performances in wash fastness properties over azo dyes carrying only an --SO.sub.2 F group.
The synthetic textile material may be selected from secondary cellulose acetate, cellulose triacetate, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile and aromatic polyester. The synthetic textile material is preferably polyamide or aromatic polyester, more preferably aromatic polyester such as polyhexamethylene adipamide or polyethylene terephthalate and especially polyethlene terephthalate. Fibre blends may comprise mixtures of different synthetic textile materials or mixtures of synthetic and natural textile materials. Preferred fibre blends are those of polyester cellulose such as polyester-cotton. The textile materials or blends thereof may be in the form of filaments, loose fibres, yarn, woven or knitted fibres.
According to a second embodiment of the present invention there is provided a process for colouring a polyester textile material or fibre blend thereof which comprises applying to the polyester textile material a compound or mixture thereof, which is free from water solubilising groups, of Formula (1) in which A and D are as herein before defined except for 4-(4-fluorosulphonylphenylazo)-N,N-dimethylaniline, provided that one of A or D is not 3,5-difluorosulphonylthien-2-yl, optionally substituted 1-phenylpyrazol-4-yl-5-one, 4-fluorosulphonylnaphth-1-yl or 4-nitro-2-fluorosulphonylphenyl or that one of A or D does not carry an --NCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 SO.sub.3 F substitutent.
The dyes of Formula (1) preferably have low solubility in water, typically less than 1% preferably less than 0.5% and especially less than 0.2% solubility in water. The dyes of Formula (1) are thus free from water solubilising groups such as --SO.sub.3 H, --CO.sub.3 H, --PO.sub.3 H and quaternary amino.
The compounds of Formula (1), optionally in conjunction with other disperse dyes may be applied to the synthetic textile materials or fibre blends thereof by methods which are conventionally employed in dyeing disperse dyes to such materials and fibre blends.
The process conditions may be selected from the following:
i) exhaust dyeing at a pH of from 4 to 6.5, an a temperature of from 125.degree. C. to 140.degree. C. for from 10 to 120 minutes and under a pressure of from 1 to 2 bar, a sequestrant may be optionally be added;
ii) continuous dyeing at a pH of from 4 to 6.5, at a temperature of from 190.degree. C. to 225.degree. C. for from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, a migration inhibitor may optionally be added;
iii) printing direct at a pH of from 4 to 6.5, at a temperature of from 160.degree. C. to 185.degree. C. for 4 to 15 minutes for high temperature steaming, or at a temperature of from 190.degree. C. to 225.degree. C. for 15 seconds to 5 minutes for bake fixation with dry heat or at a temperature of from 120.degree. C. to 140.degree. C. and 1 to 2 bar for 10 to 45 minutes for pressure steaming, wetting agents and thickeners (such as alginates) of from 5 to 100% by weight of the dye may be optionally be added;
iv) discharge printing (by padding the dye onto the textile material, drying and overprinting) at a pH of from 4 to 6.5, migration inhibitors and thickeners may optionally be added;
v) carrier dyeing at a pH of from 4 to 6.5, at a temperature of from 95.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. using a carrier such as methylnaphthalene, diphenylamine or 2-phenylphenol, sequesterants may optionally be added; and
vi) atmospheric dyeing of acetate, triacetate and nylon at a pH of from 4 to 6.5, at a temperature of 85.degree. C. for acetate or at a temperature of 90.degree. C. for triacetate and nylon for from 15 to 90 minutes, sequesterants may optionally be added.
In all the above processes the compound of Formula (1) is applied as a dispersion comprising from 0.001% to 4% of the compound in aqueous medium.

According to a further feature of the present invention there is provided a process for the mass coloration of plastics which comprises incorporating into a plastics material a compound or mixture thereof which is free from water solubilising groups, of Formula (1) wherein A and D each independently is an optionally substituted heterocyclic or carbocyclic group and at least one of A or D carries directly a least one --SO.sub.2 F group or carries a substituent to which at least one --SO.sub.2 F group is attached and at least one of A or D carries directly at least one ester group or carries a substituent to which at least one ester group is attached.
The plastics may be selected from polystyrene, acrylics, styrene/acrylonitrile mixtures, acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene mixtures, polycarbonate, polyether-sulphone, nylons, rigid PVC (uPVC) and polypropylene.
The compound may be incorporated by blending with granules or powdered plastics material by, for example, dry tumbling or high-speed mixing followed by injection moulding on a screw machine or by conventional compounding/masterbatching techniques. The present dyes generally dissolve or disperse readily in hot plastics melt and provide bright coloration generally with good clarity and good light fastness.
The plastics materials when coloured with the above dyes form a further feature of the present invention.
The compounds of Formula (1) may be obtained by usual methods for the preparation of azo compounds such as by diazotisation of an amine of Formula A--NH.sub.2 or A.sup.1 --NH.sub.2 and coupling onto a component D--X or D.sup.1 --X in which A, A.sup.1, D and D.sup.1 are as hereinbefore defined and X is a group displaceable by a diazotised amine. Typically the amine, A--NH.sub.2 or A.sup.1 --NH.sub.2 may be diazotised in an acidic medium, such as acetic, propionic or hydrochloric acid using a nitrosating agent such as nitrosylsulphuric acid, sodium nitrite or methylnitrite at a temperature from -10.degree. C. to 10.degree. C. Coupling onto the component D--X or D.sup.1 --X may be achieved by adding the diazotised amine to a mixture of D--X or D.sup.1 --X in an alkanol such as methanol at a temperature from 0.degree. C. to 10.degree. C. After coupling the compound of Formula (1) may be recovered from the reaction mixture by any convenient means such as by filtration.
Fluorosulphonyl groups may be introduced into the compounds of Formula (1) or Formula (2) or into the A, A.sup.1, D and D.sup.1 components prior to coupling by methods generally available in the literature. For example reaction of the compound of Formula (1) or Formula (2), A--NH.sub.2, A.sup.1 --NH.sub.2, the NH.sub.2 being protected as necessary, D--X or D.sup.1 --X, in which A, A.sup.1, D and D.sup.1 are as hereinbefore defined, with chlorosulphonic acid optionally in the presence of dimethylformamide and thionylchloride at a temperature of from 30.degree. C. to 140.degree. C. gives the chlorosulphonyl derivative. The chlorosulphonyl derivative may be reacted in boiling aqueous media with potassium fluoride to give the fluorosulphonyl derivative.
Alternatively the compound of Formula (1) or Formula (2), A--NH.sub.2, A.sup.1 --NH.sub.2, D--X or D.sup.1 --X may be sulphonated with sulphuric acid or oleum to give the sulphonic acid derivative which may be converted to the chlorosulphonyl derivative by reaction, either of the free acid or an inorganic salt thereof, with thionylchloride optionally in the presence of a chlorophosphorus compound such as phosphorus oxychloride or phosphorus pentachloride in an organic liquid such as an aromatic hydrocarbon at a temperature of from 20.degree. C. to 110.degree. C. Similarly a sulphonate ester may be converted to the corresponding chlorosulphonyl derivative. The chlorosulphonyl derivative may then be converted to the fluorosulphonyl derivative as described above.
The compounds of Formulae (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (7) are useful for the coloration of synthetic textile materials particularly polyester textile materials and fibre blends thereof to which they impart colours which have excellent wet and light fastness properties.
The compounds of Formula (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) or (7) are also useful for the mass coloration of plastics as described above and impart bright colours generally with good clarity and light fastness.

The invention is further illustrated by the following Examples.
