Reactive azo dyes containing an aminocarbonyl or aminosulfonyl bridge member

The present invention relates to novel reactive dyes, to a process for their preparation and to the use thereof.
The practice of dyeing with reactive dyes in recent years has led to more exacting demands being made of the quality of the dyeings obtained and to the efficiency of the dying process. Consequently there is a continuing need to provide novel reactive dyes that have enhanced properties, especially with respect to application.
At the present time it is required of reactive dyes that they shall have sufficient substantivity for the substrate to be dyed and at the same time have the property that unfixed dye is easily washed off. They are further required to afford a good tinctorial yield and have high reactivity to give in particular dyeings of good fixation. The known dyes do not meet these requirements in all respects.
It is therefore the object of this invention to provide novel, improved reactive dyes for dyeing and printing fibre materials that have the qualities referred to above to a high degree. The novel dyes shall in particular be distinguished by high fixation yields and high fibre-bond stability, and it shall furthermore be possible to wash-off unfixed dye in the fibre with ease. The novel dyes shall also produce dyeings with good allround fastness properties, preferably light- and wetfastness properties.
It has been found that this object is substantially achieved with the novel reactive dyes defined below.

The compounds of formula (1') can be obtained by e.g. tetrazotising about 1 molar equivalent of the compound of formula ##STR16## in conventional manner, typically with nitrite such as sodium nitrite in acid medium, typically a medium containing hydrochloric acid, and then coupling the tetrazotised compound with about 1 molar equivalent of a coupling component of formula

in acid, neutral or alkaline medium, E, R, K.sub.1, K.sub.2 and s having the meanings and preferred meanings given above.
If K.sub.1 --H and K.sub.2 --H are identical coupling components then it is advantageous to react about 1 molar equivalent of the tetrazotised compound of formula (7) with about 2 molar equivalents of a compound of formula (8).
The synthesis of the compounds of formula (1') can also be carried out by first coupling the tetrazotised compound of formula (7) with a precursor of K.sub.1 --H or K.sub.2 --H and then converting the resultant disazo compound into the final compound, typically by coupling with a further diazotised diazo component.
The preferred compounds of formula (1b) and (1c) are conveniently prepared by coupling about 1 molar equivalent of a diazotised compound of formula
B.sub.1 --NH.sub.2 ( 10),
wherein B.sub.1 has the meaning given above, with about 1 molar equivalent of a coupling component of formula ##STR17## and coupling the monoazo compound so obtained with about 0.5 molar equivalent of a tetrazotised compound of formula ##STR18##
The first coupling is carried out in acid medium to prepare the compounds of formula (1b), and in alkaline medium to prepare the compounds of formula (1c). This process, in which the pH in the first coupling is in the acid range, is particularly preferred for the preparation of the compounds of formula (1b).
The compounds of formula (1b) and (1c) can also be prepared by coupling about 0.5 molar equivalent of a previously tetrazotised compound of formula (7a) with about 1 molar equivalent of a compound of the above formula (11) and then coupling the disazo compound so obtained with a diazotised compound of the above formula (10). It is particularly preferred to use this process, in which the pH in the first coupling is in the acid range, for the preparation of the compounds of formula (1c).
Replacing 1 molar equivalent of a compound of formula (11) in the above process for the preparation of the compounds of formulae (1b) and (1c) with c. 0.5 molar equivalent of each of two different compounds of formula (11), typically c. 0.5 molar equivalent of an aminonaphtholdisulfonic acid KK1 and c. 0.5 molar equivalent of an aminionaphtholdisulfonic acid KK2, gives mixtures of two symmetrical and two asymmetrical compounds, e.g. of formula ##STR19## which constitute a further object of this invention. The variable B.sub.1 in formulae (12a) to (12d) has the meanings and preferred meanings given above, and KK1 is preferably the radical of 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid (H-acid), and KK2 is preferably the radical of 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-4,6-disulfonic acid (K-acid).
The compounds of formula (7) or (7a), (8), (9), (10) and (11) are known or can be prepared in per se known manner. Accordingly, the compounds of formula (7) may conveniently be prepared by simple reaction in conventional manner of an aminobenzoyl chloride or an aminobenzenesulfoyl chloride with the corresponding diaminobenzene or aminobenzenesulfonamide.
The novel compounds of formula (1') as well as the mixtures of compounds of formulae (12a) to (12d) are fibre-reactive, i.e. they are capable of reacting with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose or with the reactive centres of natural and synthetic polyamides to form covalent chemical bonds.
The reactive dyes of formula(1') as well as of the mixtures of compounds of formula (12a) to (12d) are suitable for dyeing and printing a wide range of materials, preferably hydroxyl group-containing or nitrogen-containing fibre materials. Illustrative examples of such materials are silk, leather, wool, polyamide fibres and polyurethanes, and, in particular, cellulosic fibre materials of all kinds. Typical examples of such materials are natural cellulose fibres such as cotton, linen and hemp, as well as cellulose and regenerated cellulose. The reactive dyes of formula (1) are also suitable for dyeing or printing hydroxyl group-containing fibres which are components of blended fabrics, typically blends of cotton and polyester or polyamide fibres.
The novel dyes can be applied to, and fixed on, the fibre material by different methods, preferably in the form of aqueous dye solutions and printing pastes. They are suitable for dyeing by the exhaust process as well as by the pad dyeing process, and they can be used at low dyeing temperatures and require only short steaming times in the pad-steam process. Fixation is good and unfixed dye can be easily washed off, the difference between degree of exhaustion and degree of fixation being remarkably small, i.e. the soap loss is very insignificant. The reactive dyes of formula (1') and (12a) to (12d) are also suitable for printing, especially on cotton, but also for printing nitrogen-containing fibres such as wool, silk or blends which contain wool.
The dyeings and prints obtained with the dyes of this invention have superior tinctorial strength and high fibre-dye bonding stability in the acid as well as in the alkaline range. In addition, they have good lighffastness and very good wetfastness properties such as fastness to washing, water, seawater, cross-dyeing and perspiration, as well as good fastness to pleating, ironing, rubbing and, in particular, chlorine.

The invention is illustrated by the following Examples in which, unless otherwise stated, parts and percentages are by weight. The ratio of parts by weight to parts by volume is the same as that of the kilogram to the liter.

To this solution are added 50 parts of a solution which contains 16 g/ of sodium hydroxide and 0.04 1 of sodium silicate (38.degree.be). A cotton fabric is padded with the solution obtained to a pick-up of 70%, rolled up and stored in this manner for 10 hours at room temperature. The dyed fabric is then rinsed, soaped at the boil for a quarter of an hour with a non-ionic detergent, rinsed again and dried.
Dyeing Procedure VI
2 parts of the reactive dye obtained in Example 11 are dissolved in 100 parts of water with the addition of 0.5 parts of sodium m-nitrobenzenesulfonate. A cotton fabric is impregnated with the solution so obtained to a pick-up of 75% and then dried. The fabric is then impregnated with a 20.degree. C. solution which contains 4 g/l of sodium hydroxide and 300 g of sodium chloride and then pinched off to a pick-up of 75%. The dyed fabric is steamed for 30 seconds at 100.degree. to 102.degree. C., rinsed, soaped at the boil for a quarter of an hour with a non-ionic detergent, rinsed again and dried.
Printing Procedure I
3 parts of the reactive dye obtained in Example 11 are sprinkled, with rapid stirring, into 100 parts of a stock thickening which contains 50 parts of 5% sodium alginate thickening, 27.8 parts of water, 20 parts of urea, 1 part of sodium m-nitrobenzenesulfonate and 1.2. parts of sodium hydrogen carbonate. A cotton fabric is printed with the printing paste so obtained and dried. The printed fabric is steamed for 2 minutes at 102.degree. C. in saturated steam, then rinsed, if necessary soaped at the boil, then rinsed once more and subsequently dried.
Printing Procedure II
5 parts of the reactive dye obtained in Example 11 are sprinkled, with rapid stirring, into 100 parts of a stock thickening which contains 50 parts of 5% sodium alginate thickening, 36.5 parts of water, 10 parts of urea, 1 part of sodium m-nitrobenzenesulfonate and 2.5 parts of sodium hydrogen carbonate. A cotton fabric is printed with the printing paste so obtained, the stability of which meets the technical requirements, and dried. The printed fabric is steamed for 8 minutes at 102.degree. C. in saturated steam, then rinsed, if necessary soaped at the boil, then rinsed once more and subsequently dried.
