The new compounds of the formula I can be prepared according to methods which are in themselves known. One of the processes is to subject compounds of the formula ##STR12## wherein R, Q, a and b have the abovementioned meaning and
Y represents .dbd.O, .dbd.Cl.sub.2 or .dbd.S or its S-C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkyl derivative, to a condensation reaction with compounds of the formula ##STR13## wherein X and A have the abovementioned meaning.
The condensation reaction is carried out under conditions which are in themselves known, such as are indicated, for example, in German Offenlegungsschriften (German Published Pat.) Nos. 2,357,442, 1,931,789 and 1,569,692/3, German Patent No. 1,247,513 and French Pat. No. 1,388,599. When Y=O, the condensation reaction is carried out in the presence of POCl.sub.3 in an inert organic solvent, such as chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene or perchloroethylene, in the temperature range of 60.degree.-140.degree. C., and preferably at 80.degree.-115.degree. C. The components V and VI are employed in an approximately molar ratio and, in general, an excess of VI (for example 2-15%) is not troublesome.
The molar ratio of POCl.sub.3 to the components V and VI can be about 0.65-1.1 to 1, but a larger excess is also not troublesome.
The dyestuffs are frequently obtained primarily in the form of their acid salts, which are converted into the neutral form by subsequent treatment with customary acid-binding agents, such as K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, NaHCO.sub.3 or pyridine, or in some cases are also already converted into the neutral form during recrystallization from a polar solvent, such as ethylglycol or dimethylformamide. However, it is also possible to prepare such dyestuffs direct in this desired form if the reaction is from the start carried out in the presence of a tertiary base, such as a tri-(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl)-amine or pyridine.
When X=Cl.sub.2 or S, or its S-C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkyl derivative, the components are appropriately heated, without a condensing agent, in an inert solvent to temperatures of about 65.degree.-160.degree. C. and preferably 80.degree.-130.degree. C.
Examples of inert solvents which can be used are: benzene, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, dichlorotoluene, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, perchloroethylene, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulphoxide, sulpholane, butyrolactone, glycol monomethyl ether, glycol monoethyl ether or pyridine.
When Y=.dbd.S.sup..sym. -C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkyl, anion.sup..crclbar., acid acceptors are appropriately additionally employed. Acid acceptors which can be used are organic bases, such as pyridine, triethylamine or diethylaniline, dimethylformamide or inorganic acid-binding agents, such as potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium methylate or potassium hydroxide.
A second process is to react dyestuffs of the formula ##STR14## wherein R, A, X, a and b have the abovementioned meaning and Hal represents a chlorine or iodine atom or, preferably, a bromine atom, with mercapto compounds of the formula
Q-SH (VIII)
wherein
Q has the abovementioned meaning, and an inorganic or organic base and optionally to cyclise the reaction products.
Organic solvents which are preferably used are polar and aprotic or protic but free from groups which have an acid reaction in water. The reaction is carried out in the temperature range of 50.degree.-185.degree. C., preferably 85.degree.-120.degree. C. Bases which can be used are the customary hydroxides, carbonates, alcoholates or acetates of alkali metals or of ammonia, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, ammonium hydroxide, sodium methylate or potassium acetate, or organic bases, especially tertiary organic bases, such as pyridine or triethylamine, and also anion exchange resins. The components and the base are employed in an approximately equivalent ratio.
The cyclisation to give these compounds of the formula I in which Q represents an o-arylene radical linked to the adjacent peri-position of ring b, is carried out according to methods which are in themselves known (such as are described, for example, in German Offenlegungsschrift (German Published Pat. No.) 2,223,937), by diazotisation and a Sandmeyer reaction with Cu-II salts.
The starting compounds for the processes of preparation mentioned are either known or can be prepared according to known processes. Compounds of the formula VIII are described in German Offenlegungsschrift (German Published Pat.) No. 2,233,937.
Compounds of the formula VI in which X denotes .dbd.C(W)-are described, for example, in German Auslegeschriften (German Published Pat. Nos.) 1,201,354, 1,207,937 and 2,005,933, in German Offenlegungsschriften (German Published Pat. Nos.) 1,931,789, 2,065,552 and 2,232,449 and also in Journal Org. Chem. 35, (1970) 3,114-3,119 and in Chem. Abstracts (1967) 64 126 m, compounds of the formula V are described in German Offenlegungsschriften (German Published Pat.) Nos. 2,223,937, 2,428,198 and 2,429,760 and compounds of the formula VII are described in German Offenlegungsschriften (German Published Pat.) Nos. 2,357,442 and 1,931,789 and also in French Pat. No. 1,388,599.
The halogenation can be carried out before or after the condensation reaction with VI. Most of the mercapto compounds of the formula QSH are generally known compounds. Optionally substituted thiophenols are described, for example, in German Offenlegungsschrift (German Published Pat.) No. 2,116,978 or can be prepared easily from aromatic sulphochlorides under the conditions indicated in that specification.
The dyestuffs of the formula I which contain cationic groups are very suitable for dyeing and printing acid-modified substrates, such as polyacrylonitrile, acid-modified polyester fibres or acid-modified polyamides and also for dyeing paper.
Dyestuffs of the formula I which contain acid groups are particularly suitable for dyeing and printing polyamides and wool.
The preferred dyestuffs of the formula I, which are free from ionic groups, are, for example, valuable disperse dyestuffs, with which it is possible advantageously to dye and print hydrophobic fibre or fabric materials. Because of their good heat stability, these dyestuffs are suitable for bulk dyeing polymeric organic materials, such as polystyrene. The dyestuffs of the formula I possess particularly valuable properties on or in polyester materials, especially those made of polyethylene glycol terephthalates. Brilliant dyeings or prints in the orange, red, violet and blue range are obtained and most of these are distinguished by a good affinity and good fastness properties, in particular very good fastness to light. Comparable dyestuffs which have been proposed hitherto do not possess these advantages to the same degree.
Sublimable dyestuffs of the formula I, that is to say those which are free from ionic substituents and substituents which render the dyeings fast to sublimation, such as sulphamoyl radicals, are also suitable for dry thermal dyeing and printing processes, especially for so-called transfer printing.
