Formation of the copper complex of the metal-free o,o'-dihydroxy-azo compounds by reaction with an agent which donates copper is likewise carried out by procedures which are known per se; these are described, for example, in German Auslegeschriften Nos. 1,544,541 and 1,644,155.

Thus, the abovementioned diazotization reactions can be carried out, for example, in aqueous solution at a temperature between -5.degree. C. and +10.degree. C., in particular between 0.degree. and 5.degree. C., by means of sodium nitrite and a mineral acid. The abovementioned coupling reactions can likewise be carried out in aqueous solution, a pH value of between 4.5 and 6.8, in particular between 5.5 and 6.5, and a temperature of between 0.degree. and 20.degree. C., preferably between 5.degree. and 10.degree. C., preferably being maintained.

The coppering reactions can likewise be carried out in an aqueous medium; in this case, the reaction is carried out, for example, at a temperature between 10.degree. and 60.degree. C., preferably between 15.degree. and 40.degree. C., and at a pH value between 4 and 5.5, preferably between 4.5 and 5.

Examples of agents which donate copper are salts of divalent copper, such as copper sulfate, copper chloride, copper acetate and copper carbonate.

The starting compounds of the general formula (4) can be prepared, for example, by procedures analogous to the procedures in German Patent Specification No. 485,185 or the European Publications mentioned above.

Other preferred compounds are those in which X is a group of the general formula (2c) in which R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group which has 1 to 4 carbon atoms and can be substituted by a hydroxy or sulfo group and in which R.sup.4, which is identical to R.sup.3 or different from R.sup.3, denotes a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group which has 1 to 4 carbon atoms and can be substituted by a hydroxy, sulfo, sulfato, methoxy or ethoxy group, or denotes the phenyl radical, which can be substituted by one or two substituents from the group comprising sulfo, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy, chlorine and carboxy or can be substituted by a .beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl group, or denotes the naphthyl radical, which can be substituted by one, two or three sulfo groups, such as, for example, the toluidino, xylidino, chlorophenylamino, methoxy or dimethoxyphenylamino group, the ethoxyphenylamino, sulfophenylamino, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-phenylamino or 4-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-phenylamino group, the disulfophenylamino group, the carboxyphenylamino group or the 2-carboxy-5-phenylamino, 2-carboxy-4 -sulfophenylamino, 4-sulfonaphth-1-ylamino, 3,6-disulfonaphth-1-ylamino or 3,6,8-trisulfonaphth-1-ylamino group, or the morpholino radical.

Copper complex disazo compounds according to the invention which are furthermore to be singled out are the compounds corresponding to the general formulae (15), (16), (17) and (18) ##STR16##

In these formulae, the formula members M, Y, n, Z and X have the abovementioned, particularly preferred, meanings.

The copper complex disazo compounds according to the invention which are described in Examples 14 to 23 may be particularly singled out as individual compounds

The compounds of the general formula (1) prepared according to the invention can be separated out of and isolated from the synthesis solutions by generally known methods, thus, for example, by precipitation from the reaction medium by means of electrolytes, such as, for example, sodium chloride or potassium chloride, or by evaporation of the reaction solution, for example by spray-drying, it being possible to add a buffer substance, such as, for example, a mixture of mono- and di-sodium phosphate, to this reaction solution. If appropriate, these synthesis solutions can also be passed directly, as a liquid preparation, for use in dyeing, if necessary after addition of a buffer substance and after any necessary concentration.

The copper complex disazo compounds according to the invention have valuable dyestuff properties and, as a result of their radicals of the vinylsulfone type and the halogenotriazinyl radical, have fiber-reactive properties. The new compounds are preferably used for dyeing (in the general sense, including printing) materials containing hydroxy groups and/or carboxamide groups, for example in the form of sheet-like structures, such as paper and leather, or for dyeing polyamide films, or for bulk-dyeing, such as, for example, of polyamide and polyurethane, but also of these materials in fiber form. The present invention thus also relates to the use of the compounds of the general formula (1) for dyeing (in the above sense) these materials and to processes for dyeing such materials by procedures which are customary per se and in which a compound of the general formula (1) is used as the dyeing agent. The materials are preferably in the form of fiber materials, in particular in the form of textile fibers, such as yarns, wound packages, woven fabrics and knitted fabrics.

Materials containing hydroxy groups are naturally occurring, regenerated or synthetic materials containing hydroxy groups, such as, for example, cellulose fiber materials or regenerated cellulose materials and polyvinyl alcohols. Preferred cellulose fiber materials are cotton, as well as other vegetable fibers, such as linen, hemp, jute and ramie fibers; examples of regenerated cellulose fibers are viscose staple and filament viscose.

Examples of materials containing carboxamide groups are synthetic polyamides, such as polyamide 6,6, polyamide 6, polyamide 11 and polyamide 4, and polyurethanes, in particular in the form of fibers, or naturally occurring polyamides, for example wool and other animal hair, silk and leather.

The copper complex disazo dyestuffs according to the invention can be applied to and fixed on the above substrates, in particular on the above fiber materials, by the use techniques known for water-soluble dyestuffs, in particular for fiber-reactive dyestuffs.

Thus, very good color yields and an excellent color build-up are obtained with them on cellulose fibers by the exhaustion process using the most diverse acid-binding agents and, if necessary, with the addition of neutral salts, such as sodium chloride or sodium sulfate. Dyeing is carried out at temperatures between 40.degree. and 105.degree. C., if appropriate at temperatures of up to 120.degree. C. under pressure, and if appropriate in the presence of customary dyeing auxiliaries, in an aqueous bath. The procedure followed can be to introduce the material into the warm bath, to warm this gradually to the desired dyeing temperature and to bring the dyeing process to completion at this temperature. If desired, the neutral salts which accelerate the exhaustion of the dyestuff can first be added to the bath after the actual dyeing temperature has been reached.

Excellent color yields are likewise obtained on cellulose fibers by the padding method, it being possible for the dyestuffs to be fixed in the customary manner by batching at room temperature or elevated temperature, for example up to 60.degree. C., by steaming or by dry heat.

Deep prints with sharp contours and a clear white ground can also be obtained by the customary printing processes for cellulose fibers, which can be carried out as a one-phase process - for example by printing with a printing paste containing sodium bicarbonate or another acid-binding agent and subsequent steaming at 100.degree.-103.degree. C. or as a two-phase process - for example by printing with a neutral or weakly acid printing ink, subsequent fixing, either by passage through a hot alkaline bath containing electrolytes or by over-padding with an alkaline padding liquor containing electrolytes and subsequent batching or steaming or treatment of the over-padded material with dry heat. The quality of the prints is only slightly dependent on the varying fixing conditions. The degrees of fixing obtained with the compounds according to the invention are very high both in the dyeing industry and in the printing industry.

As well as customary steam at 100.degree.-103.degree. C., it is also possible to use superheated steam and pressurized steam at temperatures of up to 160.degree. C. Hot air at 120.degree. to 200.degree. C. is used for fixing by means of dry heat by the customary thermofixing processes.

Examples of the acid-binding agents and the agents which effect fixing of the compounds according to the invention onto the cellulose fibers are water-soluble basic salts of alkali metals and also of alkaline earth metals and inorganic and organic acids or compounds which liberate alkali under the influence of heat. The alkali metal hydroxides and alkali metal salts of weak to moderately strong inorganic or organic acids may be mentioned in particular, and alkali metal compounds preferably means the sodium and potassium compounds. Examples of such acid-binding agents are sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium formate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium trichloroacetate, waterglass and trisodium phosphate.

By treatment of the compounds according to the invention with the acid-binding agents, if necessary under the action of heat, these are chemically bonded to the cellulose fibers. In particular, after the customary after-treatment by rinsing to remove non-fixed portions, the cellulose dyeings display excellent fastness to wet processing.

In respect of the coloristic properties of the compounds according to the invention, it should be particularly emphasized that they are distinguished by a good stability in printing pastes and padding liquors, even in the presence of alkali, by a very good affinity from a long liquor, by a good color build-up when used in customary dyeing and printing processes, by the same depth of color in the dyeing of cotton and regenerated cellulose fibers, by a level appearance of the dyeings and prints produced with them, and also by a uniform quality of dyeings obtained from a long liquor with the addition of various amounts of electrolytes. Non-fixed portions of dyestuff can easily be washed out.

Polyurethane fibers and polyamide fibers are usually dyed from an acid medium. Thus, for example, acetic acid and/or ammonium sulfate or acetic acid and ammonium acetate or sodium acetate can be added to the dye-bath in order to achieve the desired pH value. It is advisable to add customary leveling agents, such as, for example, those based on a reaction product of cyanuric chloride with three times the molar amount of an aminobenzenesulfonic acid and/or an aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid or based on a reaction product of, for example, stearylamine and ethylene oxide, for the purpose of achieving a good levelness of the dyeing. As a rule, the material to be dyed is introduced into the bath, which has first been rendered weakly alkaline, at a temperature of about 40.degree. C. and is agitated in the bath for some time, the dyebath is adjusted to a weakly acid pH value, preferably a weakly acid pH obtained with acetic acid, and the actual dyeing is carried out at a temperature between 60.degree. and 100.degree. C. The dyeing processes can, however, also be carried out at temperatures up to 120.degree. C. under pressure.

The copper complex disazo compounds according to the invention are distinguished by a high degree of fixing in the dyeing and printing of fiber materials. For economic, energy and ecological reasons, this is of great advantage in practice, since the better utilization of the available dyestuff is equated with an energy-saving, easier washing out of the decreased portion of non-fixed dyestuff and a lower pollution of the effluent.

The dyeings and prints produced with the copper complex disazo compounds of the formula (1) are distinguished by clear shades. In particular, the dyeings and prints on cellulose fiber materials have, as already mentioned, a good depth of color, and moreover a good to very good fastness to light and very good wet-fastness properties, such as fastness to washing, milling, water, seawater and perspiration, and furthermore a good fastness to pleating, fastness to ironing and fastness to rubbing.

The examples which follow serve to illustrate the invention. The parts mentioned therein are parts by weight, and the percentages are percentages by weight, unless indicated otherwise. Parts by weight bear the same relation to parts by volume as that of the kilogram to the liter.

The compounds described by way of their formulae in the examples below are shown in the form of the free acids; in general, they are prepared and isolated in the form of their sodium or potassium salts, and are used for dyeing in the form of their salts. The starting compounds and components mentioned in the form of the free acid in the examples which follow, in particular in the tabular examples, can likewise be used in the synthesis as such or in the form of their salts, preferably their alkali metal salts, such as sodium or potassium salts.

EXAMPLE 1

(a) 14.9 parts of 4-.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl-2-aminophenol are suspended in a mixture of 50 parts of water and 25 parts of ice and are dissolved by addition of 3.3 parts of sodium carbonate; 10.3 parts by volume of an aqueous 5N sodium nitrite solution are added, and the entire mixture is allowed to run into a mixture of 13 parts by volume of 31% strength aqueous hydrochloric acid and 100 parts of ice, while stirring, the temperature being kept at 0.degree. to 5.degree. C. Stirring is continued at this temperature for 30 minutes; the pH is then adjusted to a value from 5.8 to 6.2 with sodium bicarbonate. 16 parts of 6-amino-1-naphthol-3,5-disulfonic acid are introduced, while stirring, the pH is adjusted to a value of 6.8 and the coupling reaction is continued and brought to completion over a period of a few hours at a temperature between 5.degree. and 10.degree. C., while maintaining the above pH value and while stirring. 11.5 parts by volume of aqueous 5N sodium nitrite solution are then added and the mixture is stirred into a mixture of 15 parts by volume of 31% strength aqueous hydrochloric acid and 300 parts of ice. Stirring is continued at 0.degree. to 5.degree. C. for another 60 minutes, an excess of nitrous acid is destroyed, in the customary manner, with amidosulfonic acid and the mixture is adjusted to a pH value of 6 with sodium bicarbonate.

(b) In a separate operation, the following reaction solution is prepared: 16 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid are suspended in 150 parts of water of about 10.degree. C., while stirring. 9.7 parts of 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine are stirred in at a temperature between 0.degree. and 10.degree. C. and the batch is stirred further for two hours at a pH value between 2 and 2.5 (which is maintained with sodium bicarbonate) and then clarified and poured into a solution of 8.65 parts of aniline-3-sulfonic acid in 75 parts of water and 25 parts by volume of aqueous 2N sodium hydroxide solution. This mixture is stirred at a temperature between 35.degree. and 40.degree. C. and at a pH value between 4 and 4.5 for a further six hours.

(c) The diazonium salt solution, prepared under (a), of the aminoazo compound and the solution, prepared under (b), of the two-fold condensation product are combined at a temperature of about 5.degree. C. and the mixture is stirred further at 8.degree. to 10.degree. C. and at a pH value of 5.5-6.5 for several hours, until the coupling reaction has ended. 12.5 parts of crystalline copper sulfate and 8.5 parts of crystalline sodium acetate are then added, and the mixture is stirred at 25.degree.-35.degree. C. and at a pH value between 4.5 and 5.0 for about two hours. This solution of the disazo compound is clarified by means of 5 parts of kieselguhr and filtration and the disazo compound according to the invention is precipitated by addition of about 380 parts of potassium chloride. After the product has been filtered off, dried and ground, a blue-black powder is obtained, which contains the alkali metal salt, predominantly the potassium salt, of the copper complex disazo compound of the formula ##STR17## This powder has very good fiber-reactive dyestuff properties and dyes the materials mentioned in the description, such as, for example, cotton, in deep, dark-blue shades with very good fastness properties, of which fastness to light, washing, water and perspiration and fastness to chlorinated water may be particularly singled out, by the use methods customary in industry, in particular by the application and fixing processes customary for fiber-reactive dyestuffs in the dyeing industry and in printing.

EXAMPLE 2

To prepare a copper complex disazo compound according to the invention, the procedure followed is similar to the procedure in Example 1, but the solution described in Example 1b is replaced by an equivalent amount of a solution of the primary condensation product of 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine and 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid.

The corresponding alkali metal salt of the compound of the formula ##STR18## is obtained, which likewise has very good fiber-reactive dyestuff properties and, when used by the application and fixing methods customary in industry for fiber-reactive dyestuffs, gives, for example on cotton materials, reddish-tinged navy blue dyeings and prints of very good fastness properties in use and in manufacturing processes, of which the fastness to light, water, washing and perspiration can be singled out in particular.
