Water-soluble dyestuffs, processes for their manufacture, their use as fiber-reactive dyestuffs for dyeing and printing fiber materials and the fiber materials dyed with these dyestuffs

Abstract

Water-soluble dyestuffs are described which in the acid form possess the formula ##STR1## wherein D is a benzene or naphthalene nucleus, R.sub.1 is linked to D in ortho-position to the azo group and means hydrogen, halogen, lower alkoxy, lower alkyl, carboxy or sulfo, R.sub.2 is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or sulfo and X is the vinyl group or a sulfato-, chloro- or thiosulfatoethyl group, A is a bridging member preferably selected from the diphenylene, diphenylsulfone and diphenylamine series, Z and Z.sup.1 each represent a hydroxy or amino group with the proviso that each Z and each Z.sup.1 have the same meaning. These novel dyestuffs are prepared by diazotization and coupling of the corresponding diazo and coupling components in usual manner known in the art. The novel dyestuffs possess a very valuable fiber-reactivity and are suitable for dyeing natural and regenerated cellulose or natural, regenerated or synthetic polyamide fiber materials. They can easily be applied and fixed by application methods usual and known in the art, and yield on these fiber materials dyeings and prints which possess good fastnesses, especially fastnesses to light, to washing, to perspiration and to cross-dyeing. Their fixation degree on the fiber material and correspondingly their tinctorial strength are outstanding.

Description

With the present invention, new water-soluble dyestuffs of the general formula (1) ##STR2## have been found.

The new dyestuffs of the formula (1) can be in the form of the free acid or in the form of their salts. Preferably, they are in the form of the salts, especially of the alkali metal salts and alkaline earth metal salts and in particular in the form of the sodium, potassium and calcium salts. They are preferably used in the form of the alkali metal salts for dyeing and printing fiber materials.

In particular, the following radicals representing the bridging member A, can be mentioned as preferred: ##STR8##

The two radicals ##STR9## can have identical or different meanings in the general formula (1); preferably, they have the same meaning.

Here and in the text which follows, the term "lower" used in the above definitions denotes that the alkyl or alkylene radical contained in the group consists of 1-4 C atoms.

The present invention also relates to a process for the manufacture of the new dyestuffs of the formula (1) which comprises either diazotizing 2 moles of one or two aromatic amines, preferably of a single aromatic amine, of the general formula (2) ##STR10## in which D, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as defined above and R.sub.1 is in the ortho-position relative to the amino group, coupling the diazo compound or compounds with 2 moles of one or two coupling components, preferably of a single coupling component, of the general formula (3) ##STR11## in which Z and Z.sup.1 L are as defined above and n represents the number 1, in the acid pH range, preferably at a pH of 0 to 4, and preferably at a temperature of -5.degree. C. to +25.degree. C. and also preferably in an aqueous medium, and coupling the monoazo compound or compounds, thus formed, of the general formula ##STR12## in which D, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and X are as defined above, with 1 mole of a tetrazotized diamine of the general formula (5)

H.sub.2 N--A--NH.sub.2 ( 5) in which A is as defined above and the bonds from A to the amino groups lead direct from the carbocyclic and heterocyclic rings, in the weakly acid to weakly alkaline pH range, preferably at a pH of 5.0 to 9.5, and preferably at a temperature of -5.degree. C. to +25.degree. C. and also preferably in an aqueous medium, or comprises coupling 1 mole of a tetrazotized diamine of the formula (5) with the abovementioned meaning with 2 moles of one or two coupling components, preferably a single coupling component, of the formula (3) described above, in which n represents the number 2, in the acid pH range, preferably at a pH of 0 to 4, and preferably at a temperature of -5.degree. C. to +25.degree. C. and also preferably in an aqueous medium, and coupling the disazo compound or compounds, thus prepared, of the general formula (6) ##STR13## in which A is as defined above, with 2 moles of one or two diazotized amines, preferably of a single aromatic amine, of the above formula (2), in the weakly acid to weakly alkaline pH range, preferably at a pH of 5.0 to 9.5, and preferably at a temperature of -5.degree. C. to +25.degree. C. and also preferably in an aqueous medium. The compounds of the formulae (3), (4) and (6) can preferably be in the form of salts, such as alkali metal salts.

The diazotization of the aromatic amines of the formula (2) is carried out in accordance with generally known methods. However, care must be taken that these aromatic amines, and the diazonium salts obtained therefrom, are not subjected to any stronger alkaline conditions during processing.

The tetrazotization of the diamines of the formula (5) is also carried out in accordance with known methods, for example in the manner described by H. E. Fierz-David and L. Blangey in "Farbenchemie" ("Dye Chemistry"), 8th edition (1952), Springer Verlag (Vienna).

The resulting dyestuffs of the formula (1) are separated off by generally known methods, either by precipitating from the reaction medium by means of electrolytes, such as, for example, using sodium chloride or potassium chloride, or by evaporating the reaction solution, for example by spray-drying. If the latter method of isolating the dyestuff is chosen, it is in many cases advisable, before evaporating, to remove any amounts of sulfate which may be present in the solution by precipitating these as gypsum and separating them off by filtration. In some cases, it can also be desirable to supply the dyestuff solution direct, if appropriate after adding buffer substances and concentrating if necessary, as liquid preparations for use in dyeing.

Preferred dyestuffs, according to the invention, of the formula (1) are those in which D represents a benzene nucleus and furthermore those in which D represents a naphthalene nucleus, in which the azo group is bonded in the .beta.-position of this naphthalene nucleus. Further preferred dyestuffs are those which contain, as the coupling component, the divalent radical of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid or of 1-amino-8-naphthol-4,6-disulfonic acid.

In addition to the said halogen atoms and the sulfonic acid group, the following individual groups are to be singled out as substituents Y in the triazine ring of the member A in the formula of the dyestuffs of the formula (1): ##STR14##

The member Y in the formula is, however, preferably a halogen atom.

The present invention also relates to the dyeing and printing of cellulose and polyamide fiber materials with the dyestuffs, according to the invention, of the formula (1) and also to these fiber materials which have been dyed or printed with a dyestuff of the formula (1).

Cellulose fiber materials are understood as meaning preferably cotton and regenerated cellulose, but also other vegetable fibers, such as linen, hemp and jute. Polyamide fiber materials are to be understood as meaning both those of natural origin and those of synthetic origin, thus, for example, wool and other animal hairs and silk and also polyamide 6,6, polyamide 6, polyamide 11 or polyamide 4.

The dyestuffs according to the invention can be applied to the said substrates by the application techniques known for reactive dyestuffs. Thus, with these dyestuffs very good color yields are obtained on cellulose fibers by the exhaustion method from a long liquor, using very diverse alkali additives.

Excellent color yields are also obtained on cellulose fibers by the pad method, and the dyes can be fixed by a residence time at room temperature, by steaming or with dry heat.

Intense prints with outlines in a good state and a clear white ground are also obtained by the conventional printing processes for cellulose fibers, such as in a single-phase process in the presence of sodium bicarbonate or an other acid-binding agent in the printing paste with subsequent steaming at 101.degree.-103.degree. C., or in a two-phase process printing with a neutral or weakly acid printing paste and then either passing through a hot electrolyte-containing alkaline bath or over-padding with an alkaline electrolyte-containing padding liquor and then developing by means of a residence time, steaming or dry heat. The appearance of the prints is only slightly dependent on changing fixing conditions. Both in dyeing and in printing, the degrees of fixation obtained with the dyestuffs according to the invention are exceptionally high.

The fastness properties of the dyeings and prints obtained on cellulose fibers with the aid of the dyestuffs according to the invention are appreciable. This applies both in the case of the most important fastness to processing and in the case of the most important fastness properties in use. The fastness to light, the fastness to wet processing, such as fastness to washing, fastness to milling, fastness to water, fastness to seawater, fastness to cross-dyeing and fastness to perspiration, and also the fastness to pleating, fastness to ironing and fastness to rubbing should be mentioned in particular.

The dyeings on polyamide fibers are usually carried out from an acid medium. Thus, for example, acetic acid or acetic acid and ammonium acetate can be added to the dye-bath in order to obtain the desired pH value. In order to obtain a usable levelness of the dyeings, it is advisable to add conventional levelling agents, for example those based on a reaction product of cyanuric chloride with three times the molar amount of an aminobenzenesulfonic acid and/or of an aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid and/or those based on a reaction product of, for example, stearylamine with ethylene oxide. The dyeings can be carried out either at the boil or at 110.degree.-120.degree. C.

In the examples which follow, the parts are parts by weight unless stated otherwise. The relationship between parts by weight and parts by volume is the same as that between kilogram and liter. The percentage data relate to percentages by weight, unless stated otherwise.

EXAMPLE 1

2.48 parts of 3,3'-diaminodiphenylsulfone are diazotized in 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid and 50 parts of ice with 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution. The excess nitrite is destroyed with amidosulfonic acid. A suspension of 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in 400 parts of water and 100 parts of ice is added to this diazonium solution. The mixture is stirred until the coupling reaction has ended. The following diazonium solution, prepared from 5.62 parts of 4-.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonylaniline, 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid, 100 parts of ice and 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution, is added to the red dyestuff solution thus obtained. The excess nitrite is destroyed with amidosulfonic acid. 5 parts of crystalline sodium acetate are added, and the pH value is adjusted to 4.5-5 with 10% strength sodium carbonate solution. After the coupling reaction has ended, a blue dyestuff solution is obtained. The dyestuff is isolated by spray-drying. When used to dye or print cotton in the presence of an acid-binding agent by conventional processes, it gives a bluish-tinged black with very good fastness properties to wet processing and good fastness to light.

EXAMPLE 2

If, in Example 1, the 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid are replaced by 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-4,6-disulfonic acid and the procedure followed is the same as that described above, an isomeric dyestuff with similar properties is obtained.

Polyazo dyestuffs with similar properties can be obtained by a similar procedure by using the corresponding equimolar amounts of the substances indicated in Table (1) which follows.

EXAMPLE 101

2.48 parts of 3,3'-diaminodiphenylsulfone are diazotized in 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid and 50 parts of ice with 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution. Excess nitrite is destroyed with amidosulfonic acid. A suspension of 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in 400 parts of water and 100 parts of ice is added to this diazonium solution. The mixture is stirred until the coupling reaction has ended. A diazonium solution prepared from 3.66 parts of vinylsulfonylaniline, 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid, 100 parts of ice and 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution is now added. Excess sodium nitrite is destroyed with amidosulfonic acid. 5 parts of crystalline sodium acetate are added to the mixture and the pH value is adjusted to 4.5-5.0 with 10% strength sodium carbonate solution. After the coupling reaction has ended, the dyestuff is precipitated with potassium chloride, filtered off and washed with potassium chloride solution. After drying in vacuo at 50.degree.-60.degree. C., a dark powder is obtained which dissolves in water to give a blue color. On cotton, dyeings or prints in black shades with very good fastness properties to wet processing and good fastness to light are obtained by conventional processes in the presence of acid-binding agents.

EXAMPLE 102

If the 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in Example 101 are replaced by 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-4,6-disulfonic acid and in other respects the procedure followed is the same as that described above, an isomeric dyestuff with similar properties is obtained.

EXAMPLE 103

The excess nitrite is destroyed with amidosulfonic acid. A suspension of 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in 400 parts of water and 100 parts of ice is added to this diazonium solution. The mixture is stirred until the coupling reaction has ended. The tetrazonium solution, prepared from: 2.48 parts of 3,3'-diaminodiphenylsulfone, 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid, 50 parts of ice and 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution, is now added, after the excess nitrite has been removed with amidosulfonic acid, to the red dyestuff solution thus obtained. After adding 5 parts of crystalline sodium acetate, the pH value is adjusted to 5 with sodium carbonate solution. After the 2nd coupling reaction has ended, the dyestuff formed is isolated from the blue solution by spray-drying. A black powder is obtained which dissolves in water to give a blue color. When applied to cotton by the conventional processes for reactive dyestuffs, the dyestuffs, which is a single compound, (i.e. a unitary dyestuff product) gives a bluish-tinged black with very good fastness to wet processing and good fastness to light. Its color shade is a little redder than that of the dyestuff of Example 1.

EXAMPLE 463

If, in the above Example 462, the 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid are replaced by 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-4,6-disulfonic acid and in other respects the procedure followed is as described above, a dyestuff with similar properties is again obtained.

Black dyestuffs which have similarly good properties can be obtained by a similar procedure by using, as the second diazo component in Example 463, the 2nd diazo components listed under Example 27 to 50 and 76 to 100 in Table 1, in place of the 4-.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonylaniline.

EXAMPLE 464

If, in the above Examples 462 and 463, the 5.62 parts of 4-.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonylaniline are replaced by 5.94 parts of 4-.beta.-thiosulfatoethylsulfonylaniline and in other respects the procedure followed is the same as that described in the said examples, dyestuffs with similar properties are obtained.

EXAMPLE 465

3.66 parts of 4-vinylsulfonylaniline are diazotized in 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid and 100 parts of ice with 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution and the diazonium solution is then freed from excess nitrite with amidosulfonic acid. A suspension of 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in 400 parts of water and 100 parts of ice is added. After the coupling reaction has ended, a diazonium suspension from the reaction product of 2 moles of 1,4-diaminobenzene-3-sulfonic acid and 1 mole of cyanuric chloride is added. This diazo suspension had been prepared from 4.875 parts of that diamino-reaction product by means of 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution in 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid and 50 parts of ice, the excess nitrite having been removed with amidosulfonic acid. 5 parts of crystalline sodium acetate are then added to the coupling mixture and the pH value is adjusted to 6-6.5 with 10% strength sodium carbonate solution. When the coupling reaction has ended, the dyestuff formed is precipitated with potassium chloride, filtered off and washed with potassium chloride solution. It is dried in vacuo at 40.degree.-50.degree. C. When applied to cotton by conventional processes in the presence of acid-binding agents, this dyestuff gives black dyeings and prints with very good fastness properties to wet processing and good fastness to light.

Black dyestuffs which have similarly good properties can be obtained by a similar procedure by using, as the first diazo component in Example 465, the 1st diazo components listed under Example 317 to 342 and 369 to 394 in Table 4, in place of the 4-vinylsulfonylaniline.

EXAMPLE 468

4.875 parts of the reaction product of 2 moles of 1,4-diaminobenzene and 1 mole of cyanuric chloride are diazotized in 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid and 50 parts of ice with 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution. The excess nitrite is removed with amidosulfonic acid. A solution of 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in 400 parts of water, 10 parts of 2 N sodium hydroxide solution, 5 parts of crystalline sodium acetate and 100 parts of ice is added dropwise to this diazonium solution in the course of 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is stirred until the coupling reaction has ended. The diazonium solution prepared from 3.66 parts of 4-vinylsulfonylaniline, 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid, 100 parts of ice and 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution is then added, after the excess nitrite has been removed with amidosulfonic acid. 5 parts of crystalline sodium acetate are introduced and the pH value is adjusted to 4.5-5 with 10% strength sodium carbonate solution. After the coupling reaction has ended, the dyestuff formed is precipitated with potassium chloride, filtered off and washed with potassium chloride solution. It is dried in vacuo at 40.degree.-50.degree. C. When dyed or printed on cotton by conventional processes in the presence of acid-binding agents, the dyestuff gives black dyeings and prints with very good fastness properties to wet processing and good fastness to light.

Black dyestuffs which have similarly good properties can be obtained by a similar procedure by using, as the second diazo component in Example 468, the 2nd diazo components listed under Example 104 to 128 and 154 to 178 in Table 2, in place of the 4-vinylsulfonylaniline.

EXAMPLE 470

If, in Examples 468 and 469, 4.39 parts of 4-.beta.-chloroethylsulfonylaniline are employed in place of the 3.66 parts of 4-vinylsulfonylaniline and in other respects the procedure followed is the same as that described in the said examples, 2 further dyestuffs with similar properties are obtained.

EXAMPLE 471

5.62 parts of 4-.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonylaniline are diazotized in 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid and 50 parts of ice with 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution. The excess nitrite is destroyed with amidosulfonic acid. A suspension of 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in 400 parts of water and 100 parts of ice is added to this diazonium solution. The reaction mixture is stirred until the coupling reaction has ended. The diazo suspension obtained from: 3.44 parts of 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl-2,2'-disulfonic acid, 25 parts of water, 10 parts of 2 N sodium hydroxide solution and 4 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution, stirred into 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid, 50 parts of ice and 0.5 part of 5 N sodium nitrite solution, this mixture being stirred for a further 15 minutes and amidosulfonic acid then being added in order to remove the excess nitrite, is then added to this red dyestuff solution. After adding to the red dyestuff solution, 5 parts of crystalline sodium acetate are introduced and the pH value is adjusted to 7 with 10% strength sodium carbonate solution. The mixture is stirred until the coupling reaction has ended. A blue dyestuff solution is obtained. The dyestuff formed is precipitated with potassium chloride. It is filtered off and washed with potassium chloride solution. After drying at 60.degree.-70.degree. C. in vacuo, a dark dyestuff powder is obtained.

EXAMPLE 591

5.62 parts of 4-.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonylaniline are diazotized in 100 parts of water, 30 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid and 50 parts of ice with 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution and the diazonium solution is freed from excess nitrite with amidosulfonic acid. A suspension of 6.38 parts of 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in 400 parts of water and 100 parts of ice is added to this diazonium solution. The reaction mixture is stirred until the coupling reaction has ended. The diazo solution prepared from 1.98 parts of 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 25 parts of 2 N hydrochloric acid, 50 parts of ice and 4.1 parts of 5 N sodium nitrite solution is then added, after the excess nitrite has been removed with amidosulfonic acid. After adding 5 parts of crystalline sodium acetate, the pH value is adjusted to 7 with 10% strength sodium carbonate solution and the reaction mixture is stirred until the coupling reaction has ended. This gives a blue dyestuff solution and the pH value thereof is corrected to a pH value of 5 with a little hydrochloric acid. The dyestuff formed is isolated by spray-drying. When applied to cotton by conventional processes in the presence of an acid-binding agent, this dyestuff gives black dyeings or prints with very good fastness properties to wet processing and good fastness to light.

Black dyestuffs which have similarly good properties can be obtained by a similar procedure by using, as the first diazo component in Example 592, the 1st diazo components listed under Example 234 to 260 and 287 to 313 in Table 3 and under Example 343 to 368 and 395 to 420 in Table 4, in place of the 4-.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonylaniline.
