Description

The invention relates to valuable new reactive dyestuffs of the general formula ##SPC2##

In which A stands for hydrogen, a methyl, phenyl, lower carbalkoxy, optionally substituted carboxamide or a carboxy group; B denotes a carboxy, lower carbalkoxy, optionally substituted carboxamide or nitrile group; S means a hydroxy or amino group; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 stand for identical or different radicals such as hydrogen or methyl; D denotes the radical of a diazo component containing a reactive group; and n means the number 0 or 1; the carboxamide groups may be mono- disubstituted, suitable substituents being primarily alkyl radicals with 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

The reactive groups of the radical D comprise those which contain one or more reactive groups or eliminatable substituents which, when the dyestuffs are applied to cellulose materials in the presence of acid-binding agents and optionally under the influence of heat, are capable of reacting with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose, or when they are applied to superpolyamide fibres such as wool, are capable of reacting with the NH groups of these fibres, covalent bonds being formed. A large number of such fibre-reactive groupings is known from the literature.

Suitable reactive groups according to the invention which contain at least one eliminatable substituent linked to a heterocyclic or aliphatic radical are, inter alia, those containing at least one reactive substituent linked to a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring, such as a monoazine, diazine, triazine, e.g. pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, pyrazine, thiazine, oxazine or asym. or sym. triazine ring; or to a ring system of this type containing one or more fused aromatic rings, such as a quinoline, phthalazine, cinnoline, quinazoline, quinoxaline, acridine, phenazine and phenanthridine ring system; consequently, the 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic rings which contain at least one reactive substituent are preferably those which contain one or more nitrogen atoms and may contain fused 5- or, preferably, 6-membered carbocyclic rings. Reactive substituents on the heterocycle are, for example, halogen (Cl, Br or F), ammonium including hydrazinium, sulphonium, sulphonyl, azido-(NH.sub.3), thiocyanido, thio, thioether, hydroxyether, sulphinic acid and sulphonic acid.

If the conversion leads to dyestuffs which contain more than one reactive group in the radical X or in another place of the dyestuff molecule, then these may be partially replaced with other radicals, for example, amino radicals which, in turn, may contain reactive groups, e.g. in the form of esterified alkoxy groups. In principle, the presence of two or more different reactive groups in the dyestuff is possible.

These condensation reactions are generally carried out in an aqueous or organic medium and in the alkaline, neutral or weakly acidic range.

If water-soluble dyestuffs are desired, it is expedient, for reasons of solubility, to select the diazo and coupling components in such a manner that at least one carboxyl or sulphonic acid group is contained in the final product.

Preferred compounds within the scope of the new dyestuffs correspond to the following formulae: ##SPC8##

in which A, B, D, Z, and n have the same meaning as in formula (I); ##SPC9## in which A' denotes a methyl or carboxyl group, and D, Z, and n have the same meaning as in formula (I); ##SPC10## in which A, B, Z, and n have the same meaning as in formula (I); L, M and Y have the same meaning as formula (IIIr); and, in particular, Y stands for a halogen atom or a sulphonyl radical; ##SPC11## in which m stands for the number 0 or 1; A, B, Z and n have the same meaning as in formula (I); Y has the same meaning as in the formulae (IIIr) to (IIIt); and, in particular, Y stands for a halogen atom or a sulphonyl radical; ##SPC12## in which Q stands for hydrogen, methyl, methoxy or a sulphonic acid group; A, B, Z and n have the same meaning as in formula (I); and X has the same meaning as in the formulae (IIIa) to (IIIq); ##SPC13## in which A, B, Z, and n have the same meaning as in formula (I), and L and M have the same meaning as in the formulae (IIIr) to (IIIz); ##SPC14## in which A, B, Z and n have the same meaning as formula (I), and R.sub.5, L and M have the same meaning as in formula (IIIy); ##SPC15## in which A, B, Z and n have the same meaning as in formula (I), and R.sub.6 ', L and M have the same meaning as in formula (IIIz).

The new dyestuffs are suitable for the dyeing and printing of materials containing hydroxyl or amide groups, such as textile fibres, filaments and fabrics of wool, silk, synthetic polyamide and polyurethane fibres, and for dyeing natural or regenerated cellulose fast to washing; the treatment of cellulose materials is expediently carried out in the presence of acid-binding agents and possibly under the influence of heat by the methods known for reactive dyestuffs.

In the following Examples the parts are parts by weight; the temperatures are given in degrees Centigrade.

EXAMPLE 1

22.8 Parts 2-methylsulphonyl-6-amino-benzothiazole are stirred in 150 parts of ice-water and 25 parts by volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid. A solution of 7 parts sodium nitrite in 20 parts of water is added thereto in one jet. The diazo compound dissolves with a yellow colour. After removing the excess of nitrous acid, the diazo solution is added to a neutral solution of 20 parts 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid in 100 parts of water, the pH being kept between 4 and 6 by the dropwise addition of a sodium carbonate solution. The coupling is rapidly completed. The yellow coupling solution is evaporated to dryness in a vacuum at a bath temperature of 60.degree.. The resultant dyestuff corresponds to the formula ##SPC16##

When a cotton nettle cloth is printed with a printing paste which contains, per kilogram, 10 g of the dyestuff, 100 g urea, 300 ml of water, 500 g of an alginate thickening agent (60 g sodium alginate per kg of thickening agent), and 10 g sodium carbonate, and which has been made up with water to 1 kilogram, the material is then dried, steamed at 103.degree. for 1 minute, rinsed with hot water and soaped with boiling, then an intense golden yellow print of good fastness to wet processing and light is obtained; the unfixed dyestuff is very easily washed out.

Valuable yellow reactive dyestuffs are also obtained when the procedure described in the present Example is followed, but with the use of the diazo and coupling components set out in the following Table.

Further valuable dyestuffs can be obtained by replacing the diazo components mentioned in the Table with 2-chloro-6-amino-benzothiazole, 2-chloro-6-amino-benzothiazole-7-sulphonic acid, 2-methylsulphonyl-5-amino-6-methoxy-benzothiazole, thiazole, 2-alkylsulphonyl-6-amino-7-methoxy-benzothiazole, 2-alkylsulphonyl-6-methoxy-7-amino-benzothiazole, 2-alkylsulphonyl-5-methyl-6-amino-benzothiazole, 2-alkylsulphonyl-6-methoxy-5-amino-benzothiazole, 2-alkylsulphonyl-6-amino-7-methyl-benzothiazole, 2-alkylsulphonyl-4-alkoxy-5-amino-6-chlorobenzothiazole, 2-n-propylsulphonyl-6-amino-benzothiazole and 2-(4'-carboxyphenylsulphonyl)-6-amino-benzothiazole.

EXAMPLE 2

33.7 Parts 4-[2',6'-difluoro-5'-chloro-pyrimidinyl-(4')-amino]-2-aminobenzene-sulphonic acid are dissolved in 1000 parts of water with the addition of a dilute sodium carbonate solution in a neutral reaction. A solution of 7 parts sodium nitrite in 30 parts of water is added thereto. The mixture is poured into 30 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 50 parts of ice, care being taken by the addition of ice that the temperature does not exceed 5.degree.. The diazo compound is partially precipitated in the form of yellow needles. After 5 minutes, a possible excess of nitrous acid is destroyed by the addition of amino-sulphonic acid. The diazotized material is slowly poured into a neutral solution of 18 parts 1-(.beta.-cyanoethyl)-5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid in 100 parts of water, the pH of the coupling mixture being kept between 4 and 6 by the dropwise addition of a sodium acetate solution.

The resultant dyestuff of the formula ##SPC17##

is salted out by the addition of 10% sodium chloride and dried at 40.degree. in a vacuum. It dyes cotton by the exhaust process in the presence of sodium carbonate in clear greenish yellow shades.

The equally valuable yellow dyestuffs set out in the following Table can be obtained in a similar manner by using the specified diazo and coupling components:

Further valuable yellow dyestuffs can be obtained by coupling the diazo components specified in the above Table, instead of with 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid, with 1-(.beta.-cyanoethyl-5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid, 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone, 1-carboxyme-thyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone, 1-carboxyme-thyl-5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid, 1-(.omega.-carboxyisopropyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone, 1-(.omega.-carboxyisopropyl)-5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid, 1-carboxymethyl-5-pyrazolone, 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-3-phenyl-5-pyrazolone, 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-3-methyl-5-aminopyrazole, 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-5-aminopyrazole-3-carboxylic acid, 1-(.omega.-carboxyisopropyl)-3-methyl-5-aminopyrazole, 1-(.omega.-carboxyisopropyl)-5-aminopyrazole-3-carboxylic acid or 1-(.beta.-cyanoethyl)-3-methyl-5-aminopyrazole.

EXAMPLE 3

23 Parts 2-amino-4-acetylamino-benzene-sulphonic acid are diazotized. The diazo solution is added dropwise to a solution of 20 parts 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid and 35 parts sodium carbonate in 200 parts of water. The coupling solution is adjusted to 2N with a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution and then stirred at 95.degree. for 1 hour. Hydrochloric acid is then added until pH 3 prevails, and the aminoazo dyestuff formed is filtered off with suction. The paste is dissolved in 1000 parts of water at pH 6 and, after the addition of 26.1 parts 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride, the mixture is stirred at 45.degree. for 1 hour, the pH being kept between 4.5 and 6 by the dropwise addition of a sodium carbonate solution. The resultant reactive dyestuff of the formula ##SPC18##

is then salted out with 10% sodium chloride. It is filtered off with suction and dried at 50.degree.. The dyestuff so obtained dyes cotton in the presence of sodium carbonate in a very clear greenish yellow shade.

The same dyestuff can also be obtained, when 1-(.beta.-cyanoethyl)-5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester is used as coupling component, as both acid functions of the pyrazolone are converted into carboxy groups during the hydrolysis of the acetamino group.

Other valuable dyestuffs of virtually the same shade are obtained, when the aminoazo dyestuff is reacted, instead of with 26.1 parts 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride, with equivalent amounts of the following acid chlorides:

1,4-dichlorophthalazine-6-carboxylic acid chloride 2-methylsulphonyl-benzothiazole-5-carboxylic acid chloride 2,4,6-trichloro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid chloride 2,5-bismethylsulphonyl-isothiazole-4-carboxylic acid chloride 3-methylsulphonyl-propionyl chloride 3-phenylsulphonyl-propionyl chloride 3-(4',5'-dichloropyridazone-6'-yl-1')-propionyl chloride 2,2,3,3-tetrafluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid chloride 2,3,3-trifluoro-2-chloro-cyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid chloride .beta.-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluorocyclobutyl-1)-acrylic acid chloride .beta.-(2,3,3-trifluoro-2-chloro-cyclobutyl-1)-acrylic acid chloride .alpha.-bromoacrylic acid chloride

EXAMPLE 4

When the process is carried out according to Example 3, but using 23 parts 5-acetamino-2-aminobenzene-sulphonic acid as diazo component, then the structurally isomeric dyestuff of the formula ##SPC19##

is obtained, which dyes cotton in a golden yellow shade by the exhaust process in the presence of sodium carbonate.

EXAMPLE 5

18 Parts by weight of the potassium salt of 3-(N-methyl-N-ethionylamino)-1-aminobenzene (cf. German published specification No. 1,204,762) are dissolved cold in 150 parts of water, the solution is mixed with 30 parts by volume of 5N hydrochloric acid and diazotized at 0.degree. - 5.degree.. When the diazotization is completed, the pH value of this solution is adjusted to 6 to 6.5 with the aid of sodium hydrogen carbonate. A neutral solution of 9.5 parts 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone in 50 parts of water is then added. When the coupling is completed, the dyestuff is salted out, filtered off and dried. The resultant yellow reactive dyestuff corresponds to the formula ##SPC20##

Yellow prints are obtained on cotton with printing pastes thickened with alginate, and with the addition of alkali.

Further valuable dyestuffs are obtained by following the procedure of Example 5, but replacing the diazo and coupling components there mentioned with equivalent amounts of the diazo and coupling components specified in the following Table.Table of Example 5______________________________________Diazo component Coupling component Shade______________________________________4-amino-1-(.beta.-sulph- 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-5- yellowatoethyl-sulphonyl)- pyrazolone-3-carboxylicbenzene acid" 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-3- " methyl-5-pyrazolone" 1-carboxymethyl-3- " methyl-5-pyrazolone4-amino-2-methyl-5- " golden-methoxy-1-(.beta.-sulph- yellowatoethylsulphonyl)-benzene" 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-5- " pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid" 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-3- " methyl-5-pyrazolone4-amino-2,5-bis- " "methoxy-1-(.beta.-sulph-atoethylsulphonyl)-benzene" 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-5- " pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid" 1-carboxymethyl-3- " methyl-5-pyrazolone4-amino-1-(.beta.-diethyl- 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-5- yellowaminoethylsulphonyl)- pyrazolone-3-carboxylicbenzene acid4-chloro-3-(N-methyl- 1-carboxymethyl-5- "N-ethionylamino)-1- pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acidamino-benzene" 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-5- " pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid______________________________________

EXAMPLE 6

21.6 Parts 4-methylaminomethyl-2-aminobenzenesulphonic acid are dissolved in 125 parts of ice-water and 21 parts by volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid and diazotized with 6.9 parts sodium nitrite. The diazo solution is poured into a solution of 15.1 parts 1-(.beta.-cyanoethyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and 30 parts of sodium carbonate in 200 parts of water. The pH is adjusted to 7 - 8 with the aid of hydrochloric acid. The aminoazo compound is acylated with 18.4 parts cyanuric chloride at 0.degree. - 5.degree., the pH being kept constant by the dropwise addition of a sodium carbonate solution. The reactive dyestuff is salted out with sodium chloride, filtered off with suction and dried. The dyestuff which corresponds to the formula ##SPC21##

dyes cotton in clear, strongly greenish shades.

EXAMPLE 7

The diazo solution of 23 parts 2-amino-5-acetylaminobenzene-sulphonic acid is added dropwise to a solution of 15.6 parts 1-carboxymethyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and 35 parts sodium carbonate in 200 parts of water. The coupling solution is adjusted to 2N by means of a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution and subsequently stirred at 95.degree. for 1 hour. Hydrochloric acid is then added until pH 3 prevails and the precipitated aminoazo dyestuff is filtered off with suction. The paste is dissolved in 1000 parts of water at pH 6. After the addition of 26.1 parts 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride, the mixture is stirred at 45.degree. for 1 hour, the pH being kept between 4.5 and 6 by the dropwise addition of a sodium carbonate solution. The resultant reactive dyestuff of the formula ##SPC22##

is then salted out with 10% sodium chloride. It is filtered off with suction, and dried at 50.degree.. The dyestuff so obtained yields on cotton from a long bath in the presence of sodium carbonate an intense yellow dyeing of very good fastness to light.

The same dyestuff can also be obtained with the use of 1-carbethoxymethyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone as coupling component.

Further valuable dyestuffs of virtually the same shade are obtained when the aminoazo dyestuff is reacted, instead of with 26.1 parts 2.3-dichloroquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid chloride, with equivalent amounts of the following acid chlorides:

1,4-dichlorophthalazine-6-carboxylic acid chloride 2-methylsulphonyl-benzothiazole-5-carboxylic acid chloride 2,4,6-trichloro-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid chloride 2,5-bismethylsulphonyl-isothiazole-4-carboxylic acid chloride 3-methylsulphonyl-propionyl chloride 3-phenylsulphonyl-propionyl chloride 3-(4',5'-dichloropyridazone-6'-yl-1)-propionyl chloride 2,2,3,3-tetrafluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid chloride 2,3,3-trifluoro-2-chloro-cyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid chloride .beta.-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluorocyclobutyl-1)-acrylic acid chloride .beta.-(2,3,3-trifluoro-2-chloro-cyclobutyl-1)-acrylic acid chloride .alpha.-bromoacrylic acid chloride

EXAMPLE 8

When the process is carried out according to Example 7, but using 17.0 parts 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone as coupling component, extremely valuable dyestuffs are also obtained corresponding, for example, to the formula ##SPC23##

EXAMPLE 9

When the process is carried out according to Examples 7 and 8, but using 23 parts 4-acetamino-2-aminobenzenesulphonic acid as diazo component, structurally isomeric yellow dyestuffs of extremely valuable properties are obtained.

EXAMPLE 10

When the process is carried out according to Examples 7 - 9, but using 1-carboxymethyl-3-methyl-5-aminopyrazole or 1-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-3-methyl-5-amino-pyrazole as coupling component, extremely valuable dyestuffs, e.g. of the formula ##SPC24##

are also obtained.
