Water-soluble azo dyes having a substituted 2-hydroxypyridone (6) coupling component

Abstract

Azo dyes containing sulfonic or carboxylic acid groups and having a substituted 2-hydroxypyridone-(6) as coupling component. The dyes are particularly valuable for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamides.

Description

The invention relates to azo dyes having the general formula (I): ##SPC1##

where D denotes the radical of an aromatic diazo or tetrazo component; R denotes hydrogen or unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl having a total of one to eight carbon atoms; A.sup.1 denotes methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl or phenyl; A.sup.2 denotes cyano, carbamoyl or carbalkoxy; X denotes a sulfonic acid or carboxylic group or a radical having the formula --SO.sub.2 --NH--SO.sub.2 --Y; Y denotes alkyl, aryl or unsubstituted or substituted carbamoyl; m denotes one of the integers 1 and 2; and n denotes one of the integers 1, 2 and 3.

The groups X may be situated in the radical D or in the radical R when R denotes aryl, or in both.

Examples of specific radicals R are (besides hydrogen) alkyl radicals having one to eight carbon atoms such as methyl, butyl, hexyl or .beta.-ethylhexyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl, phenylethyl and phenyl bearing chlorine; bromine, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy and/or sulfonic acid as a substituent. The alkyl groups in particular may bear hydroxy groups or alkoxy groups as substituents or may have oxygen atoms in the chain as in the case of polyglycol ethers.

Examples of carbalkoxy groups A.sup.2 are carbethoxy, carbopropoxy, carbobutoxy and carbohexoxy.

Examples of Y are alkyl radicals having one to four carbon atoms, dimethylamino and preferably phenyl.

The radical D is derived from a diazotizable aromatic monamine or diamine. For example amines of the benzene, naphthalene, azobenzene, phthalic acid, phthalimide, benzidine, terephthalic acid, diphenyl ether, diphenyl sulfide, diphenylamine, benzophenone, dibenzofuran, diphenylsulfone, diphenylmethane, diphenylurea or diphenylstilbene series are suitable.

The components may bear substituents which are customary in azo dyes and also sulfonic acid groups, carboxyl groups or a radical having the general formula:

--SO.sub.2 --NH--SO.sub.2 --Y (as defined above).

The following specific substituents are given by way of example: fluoro, chloro, bromo, nitro, cyano, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy, phenoxy, trifluoromethyl, acetylamino, benzoylamino, N-phenylcarbamoylamino, N-methylcarbamoylamino, hydroxy, acetyl, benzoyl, methylsulfonyl, ethylsulfonyl, phenylsulfonyl, arylazo, carboxy, carbalkoxy, carbophenoxy, carbamoyl, N-monosubstituted or N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl, and radicals having the formulae: --SO.sub.2 --R.sup.1, --O--SO.sub.2 --R.sup.1, ##EQU1## where R.sup.1 denotes alkyl having one to four carbon atoms, phenyl or tolyl and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each denotes hydrogen or alkyl having one to four carbon atoms, or one of the radicals R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 denotes aryl.

The radicals R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may form a ring with the nitrogen atom, with or without the inclusion of another hetero atom, for example a pyrrolidine, piperidine or morpholine ring.

Carbalkoxy radicals as substituents for the component D may contain for example the following alcohol components: methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, isobutanol, hexanol, ethylhexanol, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol, phenol, .beta.-hydroxyethanol, .beta.-methoxyethanol, .beta.-ethoxyethanol or .beta.-butoxyethanol or the compounds having the formulae: HO--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O), HO--(CH.sub.2 Ch.sub.2 O).sub.2 C.sub.2 H.sub.5, HO--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.3 CH.sub.3, HO--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.3 --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, HOCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OCOCH.sub.3 and the compounds .beta.-hydroxypropanol, .gamma.-hydroxypropanol, .delta.-hydroxybutanol and .omega.-hydroxyhexanol.

Special industrial significance attaches to dyes having the general formula (Ia): ##SPC2##

where Z denotes alkyl having one to six carbon atoms, benzyl or a benzylsulfonic acid radical; n denotes one of the integers 1 and 2; D.sup.1 phenyl substituted by sulfonic acid or the same sulfophenyl further substituted by chlorine, bromine, methyl or ethyl; phenyl substituted by carboxylic acid or the same carboxylphenyl further substituted by chlorine or bromine; or naphthyl substituted once or twice by sulfonic acid, with the proviso that D.sup.1 and Z together contain at least one sulfonic or carboxylic group. X has the meanings given above.

Particularly valuable dyes are those having the following alkyl radicals:

CH.sub.3, C.sub.2 H.sub.5, n-C.sub.3 H.sub.7, iso-C.sub.3 H.sub.7, n-C.sub.4 H.sub.9, n-C.sub.6 H.sub.13 and ##EQU2##

The new dyes are yellow to red and on synthetic polyamides (for example polycaprolactam) and wool give yellow to red dyeings which exhibit very good fastness properties; dyes having carboxyl group but are devoid of sulfonic groups also go onto polyesters.

The new dyes may be manufactured by reacting a diazo or tetrazo compound of an amine having the general formula:

D--(NH.sub.2).sub.m with a coupling component having the general formula: ##SPC3## (A.sup.1, A.sup.2, D, m and R having the meanings given above) at least one of the components bearing at least one water-solubilizing group.

Coupling is carried out as usual in aqueous medium with or without the addition of solvents in the weakly acid or weakly alkaline range.

Another possibility for the manufacture of the water-soluble dyes having the general formula (I) with X denoting --SO.sub.3 H is the sulfonation of the water-insoluble azo dyes having the general formula (III): ##SPC4##

in which A.sup.2, D, m and R have the meanings given in the general formula (I) with 20 to 50% oleum.

The following Examples illustrate the invention. References to parts and percentages in the following Examples are by weight unless otherwise specified.

EXAMPLE 1 ##SPC5##

150 parts of water and 15 parts by volume of 30% hydrochloric acid are added to 10.9 parts of 4-nitraniline-2-sulfonic acid and the whole is stirred for fifteen minutes. Then 75 parts of ice and 16 parts by volume of 23% sodium nitrite solution is added, stirring is continued for two hours at 0.degree. to 5.degree.C and then any excess of nitrous acid present is removed in the usual way. The diazonium salt mixture is then added in portions to a solution, cooled to 0.degree.C, of 11.6 parts of 1-n-butyl-2-hydroxy-3-carboxamido-4-methylpyridone-(6) in 300 parts of water, 5 parts of 50% caustic soda solution and 5 parts of sodium carbonate. When coupling is complete, the dye is precipitated by adding 30 parts of sodium chloride, suction filtered, washed with 10% sodium chloride solution until neutral and dried at 130.degree.C. It is obtained in the form of a yellow powder which dissolves in water giving a yellow color.

The shade of the dyeing on polycaprolcatam is pure yellow.

EXAMPLE 87 ##SPC6##

75 parts of water, 6 parts of sodium carbonate and 15 parts by volume of 23% sodium nitrite solution are added to 11.2 parts of 2-aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid. The mixture is added in portions to a mixture of 75 parts of ice and 13 parts by volume of 30% hydrochloric acid and the whole is stirred for two hours at 0.degree. to 5.degree.C. Any excess of nitrous acid present is then removed as usual and the diazonium salt mixture is added in portions to a solution, cooled to 0.degree.C, of 9.5 parts of 1-methyl-2-hydroxy-3-carboxamido-4-methylpyridone-(6) in 300 parts of water, 5 parts of 50% caustic soda solution and 6 parts of sodium carbonate. When coupling has ended, 30 parts of sodium chloride and then 30% acetic acid are added to the mixture until it has a pH of from 6 to 7. The deposited dye is filtered off, washed neutral with 10% sodium chloride solution and dried. An orange powder is obtained which dissolves in water with a yellow color.

The shade of the dyeing on polycaprolactam is golden yellow.
