This invention relates to triphenodioxazine (TPD) dyes, especially TPD reactive dyes, their preparation and use.
TPD reactive dyes having chloro atoms at the 6- and 13-positions are known from GB patent 1,450,746 and are useful for colouring a wide range of textile materials, particularly cellulosic materials, by forming a covalent bond thereto. There is a strong demand for TPD dyes having good dyeing properties, particularly those having good water-solubility which can be used to prepare high-strength liquid dye formulations.

As examples of arylene radicals represented by B there may be mentioned 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-phenylene and 1,4-naphthylene which are optionally sulphonated.
The optional substituent which may be present on D is preferably a C.sub.1-4 -alkyl or C.sub.1-4 -alkoxy group.
As examples of particularly useful dyes within the scope of the invention there may be mentioned water-soluble dyes of Formulae (3), (4) or (5) and salts thereof: ##STR6## wherein: T.sup.1, Z, A.sup.1, A.sup.2, X.sup.1, B, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and Y.sup.1 are as hereinbefore defined;
m and n are each independently 1, 2 or 3;
each R.sup.6 independently is H or C.sub.1-4 -alkyl; and

In Formulae (3) and (4), Z is preferably a triazinyl group having a labile substituent as discussed above.
The dyes of the invention may be prepared by reactions analogous to those which are known in the preparation of fibre-reactive triphenodioxazine dyes having chloro atoms at both the 6- and 13-positions, except that intermediates are used which result in the 6- and 13-positions having substituents as described herein for the present invention. Thus, for example, dyes of the invention may be prepared by condensation of an acylating agent and an acylatable TPD compound having a chloro or bromo atom at one of the 6- and 13-positions and a group of Formula (1) at the remaining 6- or 13-position. An acylatable TPD compound has an amino, hydroxy or thio substituent, e.g. --NH.sub.2, --OH or --SH. Condensation is preferably performed in the presence of base, for example an alkali metal hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate, preferably in aqueous solvent, for example water. Preferably the condensation is performed at a temperature in the range 0.degree. to 60.degree. C.; a pH of from 7 to 10 is preferred.
Suitable acylating agents particularly include cyanuric chloride or fluoride and its primary condensation products with ammonia, primary or secondary amines, alcohols or mercaptans.
Compounds of Formula (4) may be prepared by condensing a dyebase of Formula (4), wherein in place of Z there is H, with an acylating agent, preferably of formula Z-Cl, wherein Z is a heterocyclic reactive group, preferably using the above described conditions.
Suitable acylatable TPD compounds containing an amino, hydroxy or thio group may be obtained by methods analogous to those described in the art, for example by ring closure of the corresponding dianilides using strongly acid condensing agents, for example oleum with a persulphate a reaction time of 1 to 24 hours, especially 2 to 10 hours is preferred. Sulphonic acid groups may be introduced into the dianilide during cyclisation, for example into any aryl groups which may be present. Cyclisation conditions may also convert beta-hydroxyethyl sulphonyl groups, when present, to beta-sulphatoethylsulphonyl groups.
Thus the acylatable TPD compounds may be prepared by ring closure of a dianilinide of Formula (6) using oleum and a persulphate: ##STR7## wherein: W.sup.3 and W.sup.4 are each independently --X.sup.1 --(B--X.sup.2).sub.p --H or --X.sup.1 --(B--X.sup.2).sub.q D--SO.sub.2 --Y.sup.2 ; and
T.sup.1, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, A.sup.1, A.sup.2, X.sup.1, X.sup.2, B, D, m, n, p and q are as hereinbefore defined and Y.sup.2 is vinyl or 2-hydroxyethyl.
The dianilinides of Formula (6) may be prepared by condensation of monoanilinide of Formula (7) (where B is Cl or Br), with a compound of Formula (8). It is preferred that the condensation is carried out in a solvent, such as water or methanol, at a pH of approximately 6 (e.g. pH 5.5 to 6.5), and at elevated temperatures of around 50.degree. C. (e.g. 40.degree.-60.degree. C.) for a period of several hours (e.g. 0.5 to 24 hours). ##STR8##
The monoanilinides of Formula (7) may themselves be prepared by an analogous process to that described in European Patent Specification 0356014 A1, particularly page 10 line 25 to page 12 line 20. Typically a para-substituted aniline derivative is condensed with 3,5,6-trihalo-1,4-benzoquinone having a substituent of Formula (1) at the 2-position. It is preferred that the condensation takes place in a solvent, e.g. methanol or water, a temperature of 18.degree. C. to 50.degree. C. is normally employed, and a pH of approximately 5-6 over a period of 0.5 to 24 hours is normally sufficient.
The 3,5,6-trihalo-1,4-benzoquinone having a substituent of Formula (1) at the 2-position may be prepared by bubbling chlorine gas through or adding bromine to a hot aqueous sulphuric acid solution of an aniline compound having a substituent of Formula (1) at the 2- or 3-position. 3,5,6-trihalo-1,4-benzoquinones having a substituent of Formula (1) at the 2-position and their use in the preparation of dyes, especially triphenodioxazine dyes, form a further feature of this invention; preferably the halo is chloro or bromo.
The dyes prepared as described above may be isolated by any conventional means, for example by spray drying or precipitation and filtration.
Dyes according to the invention preferably contain sulphonic acid groups which confer water-solubility and may be isolated with such groups in the free acid form. However, it is usually found more convenient to isolate the dyes in the form of salts particularly alkali metal salts, especially sodium or mixed sodium/lithium salt.
The dyes of the present invention may be used for colouring a wide range of textile materials containing hydroxyl or amino groups, for example wool, silk, leather, synthetic polyamides and natural or regenerated cellulose, for example cotton or viscose rayon materials, by a method comprising applying thereto a dye according to the invention (preferably as a solution in water). Conventional dyeing, padding or printing methods may be used for colouring such materials. In the case of cellulose, the dyes are preferably applied in conjunction with a treatment with an acid binding agent, for example caustic soda, sodium carbonate, phosphate, silicate or bicarbonate, which may be applied to the cellulose textile materials before, during or after the application of the dye.
The dyes of the present invention are particularly valuable dyes for cellulosic materials and have good dyeing properties, for example good wash-off, low cross staining of adjacent fibres during domestic washing or level dyeing. They generally yield bright blue coloured textiles with good resistance to washing and light. They are usually characterised by good solubility in water and salt solutions and an ability to build-up to high depths of shade, the shades being somewhat redder than those of the 6,13-dichlorotriphenodioxazine reactive dyes.
A further feature of the present invention provides a composition comprising an inert carrier and a water-soluble dye according to the invention, preferably in a weight ratio of 1:99 to 99:1, more preferably 50:1 to 1:50, especially 20:1 to 1:20. The inert carrier preferably comprises inorganic salts and optionally a de-dusting agent. Examples of inorganic salts include alkali and alkali earth metal halides, carbonates, bicarbonates, nitrates and mixtures thereof. Dodecylbenzene may be used as a de-dusting agent.
The present invention also provides liquid dye formulations comprising at least five parts, and preferably at least 10 parts of a reactive dye according to the invention dissolved in 100 parts of water. It is preferred that such liquid dye formulations contain total inorganic salts in a percentage of less than 30%, more preferably less than 10%, especially 0.5%, wherein the % figure is expressed as grammes of inorganic salt in volume of 100 cm.sup.3. The term "inorganic salts" means any of the salts resulting from the dye manufacturing processes and commonly found in liquid dye formulations, for example NaCl, KCl, Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4 etc.
Inorganic salts can be substantially removed from the liquid dye formulations using conventional means, for example by a membrane separation process such as reverse osmosis.
The invention is illustrated but not limited by the following Examples in which all parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
