Description
The invention relates to the technical field of the preparation of dyestuffs and pigments.
Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid monoanhydride monoalkylimide compounds are already known from European Patent Application Publication No. 0,039,482-A, but corresponding monoimide-monoanhydrides cannot be prepared, or can be prepared only with difficulty and in exceptionally low yields, by the process described therein, using weakly basic amines as alkylamines.
By the present invention, new perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid monoanhydride monoimide compounds of the general formula (1) ##STR2## have now been found, in which the individual members of the formula have the following meanings:
X is a chlorine or bromine atom;
n is a number from zero to 4;
Y represents an oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom;
A, if Y represents an oxygen atom, is the phenyl radical, which can be substituted by substituents from the group comprising halogen, such as iodine, fluorine and, in particular, chlorine and bromine, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, carbalkoxy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, such as carbomethoxy and carbethoxy, hydroxyl, carboxyl, trifluoromethyl, nitro, phenoxy, phenoxy which is substituted by alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and/or halogen, such as chlorine and bromine, phenylamino, phenylamino which is substituted in the phenyl radical by alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and/or halogen, such as chlorine and bromine, phenylazo and phenylazo which is substituted by alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and/or halogen, such as chlorine and bromine, or A is the pyridyl radical, which can be substituted by halogen, such as bromine and chlorine, and/or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as ethyl and, in particular, methyl, or
A, if Y represents a nitrogen atom, is the ortho-phenylene radical, which, together with Y and the other nitrogen atom, forms the benzimidazole ring, it being possible for this o-phenylene radical to be substituted by substituents from the group comprising halogen, such as chlorine and bromine, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
Examples of alkyl groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms are the methyl group and the ethyl group; examples of alkoxy groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms are the methoxy group and the ethoxy group. The substituents in the formula radical A can be 1-, 2- or 3-substituents.
Preferred compounds of the general formula (1) are those in which Y denotes an oxygen atom and A denotes the phenyl radical, which can be substituted by substituents from the group comprising alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, chlorine and bromine, or in which Y represents a nitrogen atom and A denotes the o-phenylene radical, which can be substituted by one or two substituents from the group comprising alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and chlorine.
Those compounds of the general formula (1) in which n denotes the number zero are furthermore preferred.
The preferred invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of the new compounds of the general formula (1), which comprises reacting the tetrasalt of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid of the general formula (2) ##STR3## in which X and n have the abovementioned meanings and M.sup.(+) is the ammonium ion of a secondary or, preferably, tertiary amine which is capable of establishing a pH value of 8.5 or higher in aqueous solution, and an aromatic amino compound of the general formula (3) or (4)
B--NH.sub.2 ( 3)

in which B denotes the optionally substituted phenyl or pyridyl radical mentioned above for A and D represents the ortho-phenylene radical which, as indicated above for A, can be substituted by substituents from the group comprising halogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with one another in aqueous or aqueous-organic solution, this reaction solution initially being adjusted to a pH value of between 7 and 5, preferably between 6.8 and 6.2, by addition of acid, advantageously by gradual addition of acid, at room temperature or elevated temperature, such as at a temperature between 10.degree. C. and the boiling point of the reaction mixture, preferably between 15.degree. and 95.degree. C., and the reaction then being carried out within the given pH range at elevated temperature, preferably at a temperature between 70.degree. C. and the boiling point of the reaction medium, such as between 70.degree. and 110.degree. C.
The reaction of the compounds of the general formula (2) with the amines of the general formula (3) or (4) is carried out using equimolar amounts, a slight excess of the amine (3) or (4) being advantageous. This excess can be up to 20 mole %, depending on the amine employed as a reactant, in particular on the basicity of the amine.
The aqueous-organic reaction medium contains, as the organic solvent component, for example, dimethylformamide or an unsaturated tertiary amine, such as, in particular, a picoline or pyridine. In a preferred embodiment, the process according to the invention is carried out in an aqueous-organic reaction medium using a picoline or pyridine as the organic solvent component. These unsaturated tertiary amines can serve as buffers and solubilizing agents for the reactants in the reaction batch; the amount of this organic solvent component can here be varied within wide limits. 10 to 80% of the unsaturated tertiary amine, based on the amount of water used in the reaction solution, is preferably employed. The unsaturated tertiary amine is advantageously added to the aqueous reaction solution before the pH range of between 7 and 5 is established.
The ammonium ion M.sup.(+) in the starting compounds of the general formula (2) is preferably an ammonium ion of the general formula (5) ##STR4## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 can have meanings which are identical to one another or which differ from one another, and R.sup.1 denotes a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably a methyl or ethyl group, which can be substituted by a hydroxyl group, R.sup.2 denotes an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as the methyl or ethyl group, which can be substituted by a hydroxyl group, and R.sup.3 is an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as the methyl or ethyl group, which can be substituted by a hydroxyl group, or in which R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, together with the nitrogen atom, form a saturated, heterocyclic ring which optionally contains an oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom as a further hetero-atom. Examples of corresponding secondary or tertiary amines which are suitable for this ion are dimethylamine, diethylamine, dibutylamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, piperidine and morpholine, and of these, trimethylamine is preferred and triethylamine is particularly preferred.
Examples of aromatic amines (3) which serve as starting compounds are aniline, 2-methyl-aniline, 3-methyl-aniline, 4-methyl-aniline, 3,5-dimethyl-aniline, 2,4-dimethyl-aniline, 2,5-dimethyl-aniline, 2,6-dimethyl-aniline, 3,4-dimethyl-aniline, 4-isopropyl-aniline, 2,4,6-trimethyl-aniline, 2-chloro-aniline, 3-chloro-aniline, 4-chloro-aniline, 2,4-dichloro-aniline, 3-bromo-aniline, 3-iodo-aniline, 2-methyl-5-chloro-aniline, 3-chloro-4-methyl-aniline, 3-trifluoromethyl-aniline, 3,5-bis-(trifluoromethyl)-aniline, 2-aminophenol, 3-aminophenol, 4-methoxy-aniline, 4-ethoxy-aniline, 2-amino-1,4-dimethoxy-benzene, 4-amino-diphenyl ether, 4-amino-4'-chloro-diphenyl ether, 4-amino-diphenylamine, 4-amino-azobenzene, 3-nitro-aniline, dimethyl 5-amino-isophthalate, 3-aminobenzoic acid, 2-aminopyridine and 3-aminopyridine.
Examples of amino compounds of the general formula (4) which serve as starting compounds are 1,2-diaminobenzene, 4-methyl-1,2-diaminobenzene, 4-methoxy-1,2-diaminobenzene, 4-chloro-1,2-diaminobenzene and 4,5-dichloro-1,2-diaminobenzene.
The process according to the invention can be carried out, for example, by first treating the perylenetetracarboxylic acid or its dianhydride, in water, with the amount of amino compound, which should be capable of establishing a pH value of 8.5 or more in water, required for conversion into the tetracarboxylate in the customary manner at elevated temperature. A slight excess, such as up to 10% of the amine, i.e. up to 4.4 moles of this amine per mole of perylenetetracarboxylic acid or its dianhydride, is advantageously employed. The amine of the general formula (3) or (4) and, if appropriate, an unsaturated tertiary amine, such as pyridine, as the organic solvent component, are then added and a pH value within the abovementioned pH range is then established by addition of acid. Acids which can be used for this are inorganic and organic acids, thus, for example, mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, but preferably, because of their buffer action, moderately strong to weak organic or inorganic acids, such as, for example, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, carbonic acid or phosphoric acid. The batch is then warmed and the given pH range is maintained by addition of further acid, since the pH value otherwise rises during the reaction.
The reaction product formed is isolated by acidification of the reaction mixture and filtration in a manner which is customary per se. The diimide or bis-benzimidazole compound which is also formed and is insoluble in alkali is removed by addition of alkali and by filtration. Any unreacted perylenetetracarboxylic acid still contained in the product can be removed from the potassium salt of the end product according to the invention, which is usually sparingly soluble, via its readily soluble tetrapotassium salt.
The new compounds of the general formula (1) according to the invention are useful starting substances for the preparation of colorants (dyestuffs and pigments), such as symmetric or asymmetric N-substituted perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimides (cf., for example, Chemistry Letters 1979, 151-154). However, they can themselves also be used as colorants, such as, for example, in lacquers or for dyeing polymers, such as polyolefins and polyvinyl chloride, if necessary after appropriate conditioning.
The examples which follow serve to illustrate the invention in more detail. The parts are by weight and the percentage are by weight, unless indicated otherwise. Parts by weight bear the same relationship to parts by volume as that of the kilogram to the liter.
EXAMPLE 1
39.2 parts of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride are dissolved in a mixture of 500 parts of water and 44.5 parts of triethylamine at 90.degree. C. After addition of 12.3 parts of 3,5-dimethylaniline, a pH value of between 6.3 and 6.6 is established with 85% strength aqueous phosphoric acid. Stirring is continued at 90.degree. C. for 6 hours, during which the given pH range is maintained by dropwise addition of further phosphoric acid; a total of about 33 parts of 85% strength phosphoric acid are consumed.
When the reaction has ended, a further 20 parts of 85% strength phosphoric acid are added and the reaction product which has precipitated is filtered off with suction and washed first with 2% strength aqueous hydrochloric acid and then with water until free from acid.
To remove unreacted perylenetetracarboxylic acid and the diimide also formed, the procedure is as follows: the moist filter cake is stirred in 1,500 parts of 5% strength aqueous potassium hydroxide solution at 90.degree. to 95.degree. C. for two hours and the solid is then filtered off with suction at 20.degree. to 25.degree. C. and washed with 5% strength aqueous potassium hydroxide solution until the filtrate runnings are colorless. The filter cake is then treated with hot water, whereupon the dipotassium salt of perylenetetracarboxylic acid mono-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-imide dissolves giving a solution deep red-violet in color.
The insoluble diimide is removed by filtration and the compound according to the invention is precipitated by acidifying the filtrate and isolated.
After drying, the compound of the formula ##STR5## is obtained as a dark red powder.
