The condensation reactions of the halogenotriazines (7) and (10) with the triphendioxazine dyestuffs (6), compounds (8) and amines (9) are carried out in aqueous or aqueous-organic or organic medium at temperatures between 0.degree. C. and 110.degree. C., during which the hydrohalic acid liberated in the condensation steps is, if desired, trapped by adding acid-binding agents, such as, for example, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal bicarbonates, carbonates, hydroxides, phosphates or borates. The pH range established in this procedure can be selected within wide limits. The individual condensation steps are usually carried out in succession, in which, depending on the reactivity of the halogenotriazine (7) or (10), a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 60.degree. C. is chosen for the exchange of the first halogen atom, a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 80.degree. C. for the exchange of the second halogen atom, and a temperature between 40.degree. C. and 110.degree. C. for the exchange of the third halogen atom.

Although the individual condensation steps can be carried out in any desired order, it is preferred first to react a dyestuff (6) with a halogenotrizine (7) or (10) to give an acylation product of the formula (11) ##STR18## in which R, R', T.sub.1, T.sub.2, Hal and n have the abovementioned meaning and

X.sub.3 has the meaning Hal or X.sub.2, which is then condensed with compounds (8) or (9), it being preferable to use the amine having the highest basicity or the compound having the highest nucleophilicity for the exchange of the last halogen atom.

Furthermore, preference is given to the process variant in which the individual steps are carried out in succession but in a "one-pot reaction".

For the condensation reactions, the triphendioxazine dyestuffs (6) are preferably used in the form of their neutral alkali metal salts, in particular their lithium salts.

The dyestuffs are isolated, for example by addition of salt, and dried. However, it is also possible to lead the condensation solutions or suspensions through a drum or spray drier.

Just as well, concentrated aqueous solutions can be prepared from the moist pastes of the dyestuffs, for example by subjecting suspensions or solutions of these dyestuffs in water to desalting, for example by pressure permeation.

The dyestuffs dye cellulose-containing materials, in particular paper, cotton and viscose and leather in blue hues which have good wet and light fastness properties.

The dyestuffs can be used by all processes customary in the paper and textile industry for direct dyestuffs, in particular in mass and surface coloration of paper for sized and unsized grades, stating from bleached or unbleached pulp of various provenance, such as softwood or hardwood sulphite and/or sulphate pulp. They can also be used in the yarn- or piece-dyeing of cotton, viscose and linen by the exhaust process from long liquor or in continuous processes.

The paper dyeings obtained with the dyestuffs according to the invention are distinguished by good light and wet fastness (bleeding fastness). The brilliance and clarity of the shades may also be mentioned. Furthermore, their compatibility with suitable dyestuffs is very good.

The formulae of the water-soluble dyestuffs in the description and in the examples are those of the free acids. The dyestuffs are in general isolated and used in the form of their alkali metal salts, in particular lithium salt, sodium salt or potassium salt.

The hue indicator numbers given in the examples refer to the Colour Index Hue Indication Chart (indicator numbers).

The formulae given in the examples which follow refer in each case to one of the isomeric reaction products formed in the reaction, reference being made with respect to the substituents in the two outer aromatic rings of the triphendioxazine system of the isomeric reaction products to what has been said under formula (1).

EXAMPLE 1

0.1 mol of 2,9-diamino-6,13-dichlorotriphendioxazine-disulphonic acid (obtained according to Example 1 of European Patent Specification 170,838 or Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colorists Volume 105, page 262-263; the dyestuff is present in the form of a double betaine) was stirred in 2 l of water and dissolved with lithium hydroxide solution under neutral conditions. 500 g of ice was then added, 0.1 mol of cyanuric chloride was scattered into the solution and the mixture was stirred at 0.degree. C. to 5.degree. C. until only traces of the starting material could be detected in the thin-layer chromatogram. During the acylation, the pH was maintained between 4.5 and 5.5 by dropwise addition of lithium hydroxide solution. 0.1 mol of the amine of the formula ##STR20## was then added in the form of the neutral lithium salt, and the mixture was heated to 40.degree. C. to 50.degree. C., while at the same time trapping the hydrochloric acid liberated by dropwise addition of lithium hydroxide solution, so that the pH was 4.5 to 5.5.

After the condensation step was complete, the mixture was heated to 75.degree. C. and morpholine was added dropwise at such a rate that the pH was 8.5. The exchange of the third chlorine atom is completed when the pH no longer changes. The dyestuff was salted out by addition of 5% by volume of sodium chloride, dried at 90.degree. C. and ground, giving a dyestuff powder forming a clear blue solution in water and dyeing cotton by a dyeing process customary for direct dyes in clear blue shades (hue indicator number 13).

The dyestuff has the formula ##STR21## Further valuable dyestuffs which dye cotton in clear blue shades (hue indicator number 13) by direct dyeing methods were obtained analogously to the procedure of Example 1, by using the dyestuff used there for the exchange of the first chlorine atom on the cyanuric chloride, amines (I) mentioned in column 1 for the exchange of the second chlorine atom and amines (II) listed in column 2 for the exchange of the third chlorine atom.

Example 626

The exchange of the first and second chlorine atom was first carried out analogously to the procedure of Example 1, except that 0.1 mol of m-sulphanilic acid was used in the form of a neutral lithium salt for the exchange of the third chlorine atom instead of morpholine, and the mixture was heated at 100.degree.

Example 635

The exchange of the first and second chlorine atom was first carried out by the procedure of Example 1, except that 0.1 mol of 2-mercaptoethanol was used instead of morpholine.

Example 644

The acylation of the dyestuff using cyanuric chloride was first carried out by the procedure of Example 1. The pH was then brought to 8.5 with morpholine, the mixture was heated to 30.degree. C. to 35.degree. C., while maintaining the pH at 8.5 by dropwise addition of further morpholine until the exchange of the second halogen atom had taken place. The temperature was then increased to 75.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. and the pH was maintained at 8.5 by addition of morpholine. After the exchange of the third chlorine atom, the dyestuff was salted out, filtered off with suction, dried and ground. It dyes cotton in a clear blue (hue indicator number 13) by direct dyeing methods and wool and polyamide in clear blue shades which have good fastness properties as an acid dye.

It has the formula ##STR50##

A dyestuff having similar properties was obtained by using diethanolamine instead of morpholine.

Example 645

0.1 mol of the triphendioxazine dyestuff of the formula (present in the form of a double betaine) ##STR51##

were suspended in 1.5 l of water and dissolved with lithium hydroxide solution under neutral conditions. 600 g to 700 g of ice was then added, and 1.35 g of trifluorotriazine were added dropwise, while maintaining the pH between 5 and 6 by dropwise addition of lithium hydroxide solution. In some cases, a small amount of trifluorotriazine had to be added again. 0.1 mol of 2-amino-6-acetylamino-4,8-disulphonaphthalene was then added, and the temperature was allowed to rise to 15.degree. C. to 20.degree. C., while maintaining the pH at 5 to 6 by addition of lithium hydroxide solution. After the second fluorine atom had been exchanged, the mixture was heated to 50.degree. C. to 60.degree. C., and morpholine was added dropwise until the pH was 8.5. The exchange of the third fluorine atom was complete when no more morpholine was necessary to maintain the pH at 8.5. The dyestuff was salted out, filtered off with suction, dried and ground. It is identical to the dyestuff obtained in Example 176.

The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, replacing 2,9-diamino-6,13-dichlorotriphendioxazinedisulphonic acid by an equimolar amount of 2,9-diamino-6,13-dimethoxytriphendioxazinedisulphonic acid or 2,9-diamino-6,13-diethoxytriphendioxazinedisulphonic acid. The remaining procedure was as in Examples 1 to 475, to give likewise direct dyestuffs which dye material containing cellulose fibres in clear, strong reddish blue shades.

Example 646

0.7 mol of 2,9-diamino-6,13-dichlorotriphendioxazine-disulphonic acid was dissolved in 2 l of water in the form of the neutral lithium salt. 0.1 mol of 2,4-dichloro-6-(.beta.-methoxyethoxy)triazine was then added dropwise, while maintaining the pH between 5 and 6 by dropwise addition of lithium hydroxide solution. The temperature was 25.degree. C. to 30.degree. C.: after the condensation was complete the mixture was heated to 75.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. and morpholine was added dropwise so that a pH of 8.5 was reached. The exchange of the second chlorine atom had taken place when no moremorpholine was consumed. The dyestuff was then salted out, filtered off with suction, dried and ground.

It dyes wool or polyamide fibres as an acid dye in a clear blue (hue indication number 13).

It has the following structure: ##STR52##

A dyestuff having similar properties was obtained by the procedure of this example by using an equivalent amount of 2,4-dichlorotriazine or 2,4-dichloro-6-methyltriazine instead of 2,4-dichloro-6-(.beta.-methoxyethoxy)triazine.

Example 647

0.1 mol of the disazo dyestuff of the formula ##STR53## was dissolved in 1 l of ice water under neutral conditions. 0.1 mol of cyanuric chloride was then scattered in the solution and the pH was maintained at 5 to 6 by dropwise addition of lithium hydroxide solution. After the condensation was complete, 0.1 mol of the triphendioxazine dyestuff from Example 1 was added, and the mixture was heated to 70.degree. C., during which the hydrochloric acid liberated was tapped by dropwise addition of lithium hydroxide solution in such a manner that the pH was between 4.5 and 5.5. After the exchange of the second chlorine atom, 0.2 mol of diethanolamine was added, and the mixture was heated to 90.degree. C. until the exchange of the third chlorine atom was complete. The dyestuff was isolated by spray-drying.

It has the formula ##STR54##

It dyes cotton by direct dyeing methods in grey hues having good fastness properties.

Further dyestuffs which dye cotton by direct dyeing methods in grey hues were obtained by the procedure of Example 647 by using the dyestuffs shown below instead of the disazo dyestuff used there. ##STR55##
