Claims
- 1. A process for the preparation of a pigment composition comprising
- a) 90-99.7 mol % of a diketopyrrolopyrrole of formula ##STR12## wherein A and B are each independently of the other a ##STR13## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently of the other hydrogen, chloro, bromo, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkoxy, C.sub.2 -C.sub.19 alkoxycarbonyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.19 alkylcarbamoyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkylmercapto, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkylamino, C.sub.5 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl, G is a direct bond or --O--, --S--, --SO, --SO.sub.2 or --NR.sub.5 --, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are each independently of the other hydrogen, chloro, bromo, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkoxy or C.sub. -C.sub.18 alkylamino, and R.sub.5 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, and
- b) 10-0.3 mol % of a diketopyrrolopyrrole of formula ##STR14## wherein one of R.sub.6 or R.sub.7 is hydrogen and the other is --CN; the process which comprises reacting 1 mol of a dialkyl succinate or diphenyl succinate, in which succinate radical alkyl is C.sub. -C.sub.18 alkyl, and phenyl is phenyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or two halogen atoms, one or two C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy groups, with one mole each of a nitrile of formulae A--CN and B--CN, wherein A and B have the meaning cited above, in an inert organic solvent in the presence of an alkali metal or an alkali metal alcoholate as strong base at elevated temperature to a pigment alkali metal salt with subsequent release of the diketopyrrolopyrrole of formula I by protolysis of the corresponding pigment alkali metal salt with subsequent conditioning,
- which process comprises adding before or during this synthesis 0.3-10 mol % of a diketopyrrolopyrrole of formula ##STR15## wherein one of R.sub.8 or R.sub.9 is hydrogen and the other is --CN.
- 2. A process according to claim 1 wherein A and B in formula I are identical.
- 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the addition of the diketopyrrolopyrrole of formula III is carried out prior to the protolysis of the pigment alkali metal salt.
- 4. A process according to claim 1, wherein the addition of the diketopyrrolopyrrole of formula III is carried out at the beginning of the synthesis, before succinates and nitriles are added to the given solvent and the base.
- 5. A process according to claim 1, wherein in formulae II and III R.sub.6 and R.sub.8 are hydrogen, and R.sub.7 and R.sub.9 are --CN.
- 6. A process for the warp-free pigmenting of polyolefins which comprises contacting at least one polyolefin with an effective pigmenting amount of the pigment composition prepared as claimed in claim 1.
- 7. A high molecular weight organic material pigmented with a pigment composition prepared as claimed in claim 1.
