Process for the preparation of azo dyes

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of azo dyes, these dyes, if they are novel, compounds which are obtained as intermediates from the preparation of the dyes, a process for the preparation of these compounds and a process for dyeing or printing hydrophobic synthetic fibres.
German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,263,007 discloses azo dyes of the formula ##STR3## in which D is a diazo component and Z is the radical of an alcohol, thioalcohol or amine. These dyes are prepared by coupling a diazotised amine with the corresponding substituted pyridine derivatives, which are accessible by reacting the malonodinitrile with HBr and subsequently replacing the Br by the radical of an alcohol, thioalcohol or amine.
However, with this reaction it is necessary to work under anhydrous conditions and to use HBr, which is very expensive.
The object on which the present invention was based was, therefore, to find a more advantageous process for the preparation of such dyes.
It has now been found that such dyes can be obtained in a considerably simpler manner by first coupling dimeric malonodinitrile (2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propene) with a diazo compound and then cyclising the resulting intermediate in the presence of an alcohol, thioalcohol or amine.
Surprisingly, the cyclisation can be carried out without HBr and also in an aqueous medium and dyes of the above formula and/or isomers of these compounds are obtained in good yields, the mixtures frequently being distinguished by the fact that they give a better colour yield than the individual dyes on dyeing. A considerable advantage of the process according to the invention is the possibility for carrying out the cyclisation in water. This was not possible hitherto.
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of azo dyes of the formula ##STR4## or their mixtures, in which Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl or aromatic heterocyclic radical and Y is a group of the formula --O-R, -S-R or ##STR5## in which R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic radical and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently of one another are hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic radical, and the groups R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, can form a ring, which comprises coupling a diazonium salt of the formula
ArN.sub.2.sup..sym. X.sup..crclbar.
in which Ar is as defined above and X.sup..crclbar. is an anion, with dimeric malonodinitrile to give an intermediate of the formula ##STR6## in which Ar is as defined above, and cyclising this intermediate with an alcohol or thioalcohol of the formula ROH or RSH or an amine of the formula ##STR7## in which formulae R, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above, it being necessary for the amine to be present in the form of the ammonium salt during the reaction.
Ar can be any desired substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl or aromatic heterocyclic radical, for example one of the radicals which can be used for the preparation of azo dyes.
Preferably, Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl radical or sulfur-containing and/or nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic radical, it being possible for the phenyl radical to carry as substituents one or more halogen atoms or nitro, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, m- or p-carboxyl, aryloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxycarbonyl, sulfonamide, carboxamide, acyl, acylamino or phenylazo groups and for the phenyl nucleus in the phenylazo groups to be substituted by chlorine, nitro, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxycarbonyl or sulfonamide groups. In a particularly preferred embodiment Ar is an unsubstituted phenyl radical or a 4-nitrophenyl, 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl, 2-cyano-4-nitrophenyl, 2,4-dinitrophenyl, 2-chloro-4,6-dinitrophenyl or 3- or 4-carboxyphenyl radical.
If Ar is a heterocyclic radical, it is in particular a thiazole, thiophen, imidazole, pyridine, indazole, pyrazole, triazole, benztriazole, benzthiazole, thiadiazole, isothiazole or benzisothiazole radical and these radicals can be substituted by one or more nitro, chlorine, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy groups.
Alcohols, thioalcohols or amines of the formulae ROH, RSH or ##STR8## respectively which can be employed in the process according to the invention are aliphatic or aromatic alcohols, thioalcohols or amines, and aromatic compounds are also to be understood to include heterocyclic aromatic compounds.
The alcohols or thioalcohols can be primary, secondary or tertiary monohydric or polyhydric alcohols or thioalcohols and the amines can be primary or secondary amines and these compounds can be unsubstituted or substituted.
Examples of suitable alcohols and thioalcohols are: methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, amyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, octyl alcohol, cyclohexyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol, 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, 3-methoxybenzyl alcohol, 2-methoxyethyl alcohol and 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-ethyl alcohol or the corresponding thioalcohols, and also phenol or thiophenol, which are unsubstituted or substituted by, for example, one or more alkyl, alkoxy, halogen or nitro groups, and also heterocyclic aromatic alcohols or thioalcohols, for example 2-, 3- or 4-hydroxypyridine, 2- or 4-mercaptopyridine and hydroxy- or mercapto-pyrimidine, -quinoline, -benzimidazole or -benzothiazole.
Preferably, the alcohols or thioalcohols of the formula R.sub.3 OH or R.sub.3 SH which are used are those in which R.sub.3 is a straight-chain or branched, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group.
Amongst these, suitable compounds are, in particular, the thioalcohols of the formula R.sub.4 SH and especially the alcohols of the formula R.sub.4 OH, in which R.sub.4 is a straight-chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl group, which can carry a phenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, hydroxyl, carboxyl or alkoxyalkoxy radical having a total of 2-8 C atoms.
Suitable amines are, for example: aliphatic amines, for example methylamine, ethylamine, dimethylamine, n-, sec.- or tert.-butylamine, amylamine, octylamine, dipropylamine or diisopropylamine, cyclohexylamine, cyclooctylamine and also pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, thiomorpholine, piperazine, aniline, N-alkylanilines, for example N-methylaniline, naphthylamine, aminopyridine, aminopyrazine and aminopyrimidine, and all of these amines can be substituted, for example by alkoxy, hydroxyl, carboxyl or phenyl, for example benzylamine, 2-methoxyethylamine or 4-aminobutyric acid.
Amines preferably employed are those of the formula ##STR9## in which R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 independently of one another are hydrogen, a straight-chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl group, which can be substituted by alkoxy, hydroxyl, carboxyl or phenyl, or a C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 cycloalkyl group or a phenyl group, or in which R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded form a pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, thiomorpholine or piperazine ring.
In the process according to the invention, these amines must be in the form of ammonium salts and this is preferably achieved by carrying out the reaction of these amines with the intermediate obtained by coupling the diazonium salt with dimeric malonodinitrile in the presence of acids, preferably of organic carboxylic acids, for example acetic acid or butyric acid but in particular benzoic acid or propionic acid. The acid is employed in an amount which is equivalent to the amine or preferably in excess.
The addition of acid is superfluous in those cases in which the amine is in the form of an inner salt, for example in the case of aminocarboxylic acids, or if the abovementioned intermediate contains an acid group.
In some cases it is also advantageous to add acid when reacting the intermediate with an alcohol or thioalcohol.
In some cases the yield and/or the composition of the reaction products can be influenced by the nature and amount of acid.
The process according to the invention is carried out by first preparing a diazonium salt of the formula
ArN.sub.2.sup..sym. X.sup..crclbar.
in which Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl or heterocyclic radical and X.sup.- is an anion, for example a chloride or sulfate anion, in a known manner and coupling this with dimeric malonodinitrile to give an intermediate of the formula ##STR10##
These intermediates can exist in several tautomeric forms. In order to simplify the description, only one tautomeric form is shown in each case. However, it should be expressly pointed out that the entire description, including the claims, always relates to all of these tautomeric forms.
The coupling reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature of about 0.degree.-30.degree. C. and especially 5.degree.-10.degree. C. and at a pH value of preferably 1 to 7. The coupling reaction is preferably carried out in water, but it can also be carried out in a mixture of water and an organic solvent, for example ethanol.
The resulting intermediates of the formula ##STR11## in which Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl or aromatic heterocyclic radical, are novel. Ar is preferably a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl radical or sulfur-containing and/or nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic radical, and the phenyl radical can carry, a substituents, one or more halogen atoms or nitro, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, m- or p-carboxyl, aryloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxycarbonyl, sulfonamide, carboxamide, acyl, acylamino or phenylazo groups and the phenyl nucleus in the phenylazo groups can be substituted by chlorine, nitro, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxycarbonyl or sulfonamide groups. In particularly preferred intermediates Ar is an unsubstituted phenyl radical or a 4-nitrophenyl, 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl, 2-cyano-4-nitrophenyl, 2,4-dinitrophenyl, 2-chloro-4,6-dinitrophenyl or 3- or 4-carboxyphenyl radical.
If Ar is a heterocyclic radical, it is in particular a thiazole, thiophen, imidazole, pyridine, indazole, pyrazole, triazole, benztriazole, benzthiazole, thiadiazole, isothiazole or benzisothiazole radical, and these radicals can be substituted by one or more nitro, chlorine, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy groups.
The intermediates described above can be isolated and purified in a conventional manner prior to further use. However, it is also possible to subject the reaction solutions in which the intermediates have been formed to further processing direct to give azo dyes. (One-pot process; preferred process variant).
The cyclisation of the intermediates with an alcohol, thioalcohol or amine is carried out in water, inert solvents, for example nitrobenzene, toluene, xylene, tetralin, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether and the like, or in an excess of the particular alcohol or thioalcohol. The use of water has the advantage that the moist intermediates or aqueous suspensions of the intermediates can be employed without isolating and drying these products. A particular advantage when the reaction is carried out in water is that it is possible to carry out the coupling reaction and cyclisation as a one-pot reaction.
The cyclisation is carried out at about 50.degree. to 200.degree. C. and preferably 60.degree. to 180.degree. C. if it is effected under anhydrous conditions and preferably at 60.degree.-100.degree. C. in water and, depending on the reaction conditions and the nature of the components employed, requires between about 5 minutes and several days.
The azo dyes obtained by the process according to the invention are those of the formula ##STR12## or their mixtures, in which Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, naphthyl or aromatic heterocyclic radical and Y is a group of the formula ---O-R, --S-R or ##STR13## in which R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic radical and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently of one another are hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic radical, and the groups R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded can form a ring.
Amongst these dyes, those in which the azo group is located in the p-position relative to the Y grouping are known in some cases, for example from German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,263,007, whilst the dyes in which these groups are located in the o-position, and also the dye mixtures, are novel.
Amongst the novel dyes, preferred dyes are those of the formula ##STR14## in which Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl radical or a sulfur-containing and/or nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic radical. In particular Ar is a phenyl radical which can carry one or more halogen atoms or nitro, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, m- or p-carboxyl, aryloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxycarbonyl, sulfonamide, carboxamide, acyl, acylamino or phenylazo groups, and the phenyl nucleus in the phenylazo groups can be substituted by chlorine, nitro, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxycarbonyl or sulfonamide groups, and is especially a phenyl radical, a 4-nitrophenyl, 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl, 2-cyano-4-nitrophenyl, 2,4-dinitrophenyl or 2-chloro-4,6-dinitrophenyl radical or a 3- or 4-carboxyphenyl radical.
Further preferred dyes are those in which Ar is a thiazole, thiophen, imidazole, pyridine, indazole, pyrazole, triazole, benztriazole, benzthiazole, thiadiazole, isothiazole or benzisothiazole radical, which can be substituted by one or more nitro, chlorine, cyano, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy groups.
In preferred dyes, Y is a radical of the formula OR.sub.3 or SR.sub.3, in which R.sub.3 is a straight-chain or branched, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group.
Y is preferably a radical of the formula --SR.sub.4 or especially --OR.sub.4, in which R.sub.4 is a straight-chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl group, which can carry a phenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, hydroxyl or carboxyl radical or an alkoxy-alkoxy radical having a total of 2-8 C atoms.
Particularly valuable dyes are, in addition, those in which Y is a radical of the formula ##STR15## in which R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 independently of one another are hydrogen, a straight-chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl group, which can be substituted by alkoxy, hydroxyl, carboxyl or phenyl, or a C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl group or a phenyl group, or in which R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded form a pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, thiomorpholine or piperazine ring.
Amongst these, preferred dyes are those of the formula ##STR16## in which Ar.sub.3 is a phenyl radical or a 4-nitrophenyl, 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl, 2-cyano-4-nitrophenyl, 2,4-dinitrophenyl, 2-chloro-4,6-dinitrophenyl or 3- or 4-carboxyphenyl radical and Y.sub.2 is a radical of the formula --OR.sub.4 or --SR.sub.4, in which R.sub.4 is a straight-chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl group, which can carry a phenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, hydroxyl or carboxyl radical or an alkoxyalkoxy radical having a total of 2-8 C atoms, and also the dyes of the formula ##STR17## in which Ar.sub.3 is a phenyl radical or a 4-nitrophenyl, 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl, 2-cyano-4-nitrophenyl, 2,4-dinitrophenyl, 2-chloro-4,6-dinitrophenyl or 3- or 4-carboxyphenyl radical and Y.sub.4 is a radical of the formula ##STR18## in which R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 independently of one another are hydrogen, a straight-chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkyl group, which can be substituted by alkoxy, hydroxyl, carboxyl or phenyl, or a C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl group or a phenyl group, or in which R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded form a pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, thiomorpholine or piperazine ring.
The water-insoluble dyes obtainable according to the invention are processed to dye preparations in a generally known manner, for example by grinding in the presence of dispersing agents and/or fillers. Dyeing, padding or printing from a so-called long or short liquor can be carried out with the preparations, which are dried in vacuo if desired, after adding a greater or lesser amount of water.
The uptake of the dyes from an aqueous suspension on textile material made of wholly synthetic or semi-synthetic, hydrophobic, high-molecular weight organic materials is excellent. The dyes are particularly suitable for dyeing and printing textile material made of cellulose 21/2-acetate, cellulose triacetate and synthetic polyamides and especially textile material made of aromatic polyesters, for example those of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol or 1,4-dimethylolcyclohexane and fibres of copolymers of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid and ethylene glycol.
For dyeing from aqueous liquors, the dyes are advantageously employed in a finely divided form and dyeing is carried out in the presence of dispersing agents or wetting agents or in the presence of a combination of different wetting agents and dispersing agents.
In order to obtain intense dyeings on polyethylene terephthalate fibres from an aqueous dye liquor it is appropriate to add a carrier to the dye liquor or to carry out the dyeing process under pressure at a temperature above 100.degree. C. Suitable carriers are, for example, benzenedicarboxylate, o-phenylphenol, chlorobenzene or an alkylnaphthalene.
If the dye is applied by padding or printing, the polyester fabric, advantageously after drying, is heated, for example in steam or warm air, to temperatures above 100.degree. C., for example to temperatures of between 180.degree. and 210.degree. C.
The dyeings obtained according to the invention can be subjected to an after-treatment, for example by heating with an aqueous solution of a non-ionic detergent.
Cellulose 21/2-acetate fibres are preferably dyed at temperatures of 80.degree.-85.degree. C., whilst cellulose triacetate fibres are advantageously dyed at the boiling point of the dye liquor. The use of carriers or swelling agents is superfluous when dyeing cellulose 21/2-acetate or polyamide fibres.
In many cases the colour yield is improved if dye mixtures such as are frequently obtained from the process according to the invention are used. Preferably, each component is present in the mixtures in an amount of at least 5% by weight.
On synthetic textile material, the dyes according to the invention give deep, luminous dyeings with very good general fastness properties. The stability to heat-curing, the fastness to thermofixing, pleating, off-gas, cross-dyeing, drycleaning and chlorine and also the good wet fastness properties, for example towards water, seawater, washing and perspiration, and the good fastness to light are to be singled out. Furthermore, the dyes are distinguished by a good absorption and build-up on the said material.
The dyes show good affinity for the fibre and a good degree of exhaustion. The dyeings are fast to oiling agents, ozone, flue gas, rubbing and solvents and the reserve on cotton and the stability to high temperatures are good.
It is also possible to use the water-insoluble dyes according to the invention for spin dyeing (bulk dyeing) of polyamides, polyesters and polyolefins. The polymers intended for dyeing are preferably dyed in the form of powders, grains or flocks, as they come from the spinning solution, or are mixed in the molten state with the dye, which is introduced in the dry state or in the form of a dispersion or a solution in a solvent, which can be volatile. After the dye has been uniformly dispersed in the solution or melt of the polymer, the mixture can be processed in a known manner by casting, shaping or extruding to give fibres, yarns, monofilaments, films and the like.

The following examples illustrate the invention. The temperatures are in degrees centigrade and the parts and percentages are by weight.
EXAMPLE 1
9.83 g of aniline are dissolved in 60 ml of 4 N hydrochloric acid and a solution of 7.25 g of sodium nitrite in 25 ml of water is added slowly at 0.degree. to 5.degree.. After the diazotisation has ended, the pH is adjusted to 6.1 with about 3.35 g of sodium bicarbonate. 15.4 g of the sodium salt of 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propene, dissolved in 200 ml of water, are now allowed to run in dropwise at 5.degree. to 10.degree. and the pH rises to about 6.4 by the end of the reaction. The precipitate is stirred for a further 1/2 hour at 5.degree. to 10.degree. and is filtered off through a G4 glass suction filter and washed with water. After drying at 50.degree. in vacuo, this yields 22.4 g of 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propen-3-one phenylhydrazone, which corresponds to 94.9% of theory (based on the sodium salt of 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propene employed). The product decomposes at about 195.degree. (recrystallisation from acetone).

After drying at 50.degree., this yields 16.3 g of 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propen-3-one 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, which corresponds to 90.4% of theory (based on 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propene employed); this product decomposes at >148.degree. (recrystallisation from ethyl acetate).
EXAMPLE 30
A mixture of 10 ml of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, 1.0 g of cyclohexylamine and 1.11 g of propionic acid is warmed to 95.degree. and 1.805 g of 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyano-1-propen-3-one 2,4-dinitro-phenylhydrazone are added. After reacting for 45 minutes at 95.degree.-180.degree., the mixture is cooled to 25.degree. and the crude product is precipitated by adding 15 ml of water and filtered off. The residue is dissolved in hot ethylene chloride and subjected to column chromatography on 350 g of silica gel 60 F245 (Merck), in ethylene chloride as the solvent. This yields 0.84 g (37%) of the dye which has the formula given below and a melting point of 271.degree.-4.degree. (recrystallisation from ethyl chloride):

Dyeing Instructions
1 part of the crude dye obtained according to Example 7 is ground wet with 2 parts of a 50% aqueous solution of the sodium salt of dinaphthylmethanedisulfonic acid and the mixture is dried.
This dye preparation is stirred with 40 parts of a 10% aqueous solution of the sodium salt of oleyl methyltauride and 4 parts of a 40% acetic acid solution are added. By diluting with water, a dyebath of 4,000 parts is prepared from this mixture.
100 parts of a cleaned polyester fibre material are put into this bath at 50.degree., the temperature is raised to 120.degree. to 130.degree. in the course of half an hour and dyeing is carried out at this temperature for one hour in a closed vessel. The material is then cleaned reductively and rinsed well. A deep yellow dyeing with outstanding fastness to light and sublimation is obtained.
