Description

Water-soluble phthalocyanine dyestuffs, processes for their preparation and their use.

The invention relates to the technical field of fiber-reactive dyestuffs.

The practice of dyeing using reactive dyestuffs has recently led to increased requirements in respect of the quality of the dyeings and the economy of the dyeing process. Consequently, there is still a demand for novel reactive dyestuffs, in respect not only of the fastness properties of the dyeings obtainable with them, but also of an increased degree of fixing of the dyestuffs to the material to be dyed. Fiber-reactive phthalocyanine dyestuffs are known, for example, from European Patent Application Publication No. 0,073,267A and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,505,714, 4,693,725 and 4,812,558; they contain, bonded via an N-aryl- or N-alkyl-sulfonamide radical, a fiber-reactive group from the halogenotriazine series, and additionally a fiber-reactive radical from the vinyl sulfone series. In spite of the very good dyeing properties of these known dyestuffs, it was desirable to develop dyestuffs which have an increased degree of fixing and produce dyeings having a better coloristic depth of color.

With the present invention, novel water-soluble improved phthalocyanine dyestuffs have now been found, with which high-quality dyeings in a brilliant green are obtained and which correspond to the general formula (1) (the formula (1) and also the formulae mentioned below are drawn on sheets of formulae after the Examples).

The present invention furthermore relates to processes for the preparation of the phthalocyanine dyestuffs of the general formula (1), which comprise reacting a compound of the general formula (4), in which the individual formula radicals have the meanings given for formula (1), with a halogenotriazine compound of the general formula (5), in which Hal is halogen, such as chlorine and fluorine, and W, R.sup.3, A, Y, Z and m have one of the abovementioned meanings,

or reacting a compound of the general formula (6), in which the formula radicals have the meanings given for formula (1), with an amino compound of the general formula (7), in which R.sup.3, A, Y and m have one of the abovementioned meanings and Z' has one of the meanings given for Z or is the .beta.-hydroxyethylsulfonyl group, and, in the case where Z' is the .beta.-hydroxyethylsulfonyl group, converting the resulting phthalocyanine compound containing the .beta.-hydroxyethylsulfonyl group into a phthalocyanine dyestuff of the formula (1) containing a radical Z in a manner which is known per se,

or, to prepare a copper phthalocyanine dyestuff of the formula (1), in which W is one of the amino groups given above for W, reacting a compound of the general formula (8), in which the individual formula radicals have the meanings given for formula (1) and Hal is chlorine or fluorine, with an amine of the general formula HNR.sup.6 R.sup.7, where R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 have the above meaning, or an amine of the general formula (7).

Which of the two procedures for the preparation of the phthalocyanine dyestuffs of the formula (1) according to the invention is preferably employed or advantageously carried out depends above all on the solubility of the participating starting compounds containing amino groups, and the basicity thereof.

The reactions according to the invention can be carried out in an aqueous or aqueous-organic medium. If the medium is an aqueous-organic medium, the organic solvent portion is a water-miscible solvent which is inert towards the reactants and reaction conditions, such as, for example, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetone and an N-alkylacylamide, such as dimethylformamide. The reactions of the phthalocyanine compounds containing amino groups or of the amines with the halogenotriazine compounds are carried out by a procedure which is customary per se and under the customary process conditions, which are known for analogous conversion reactions between amines or cyanamide and a halogenotriazine (cf., for example, European Patent Application Publication No. 0,218,131A and U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,758,470 and 4,350,632). As a rule, the reaction between a compound of the general formula (4) and a halogenotriazine of the general formula (5) is carried out at a temperature between 40.degree. and 90.degree. C., preferably between 60.degree. and 80.degree. C., and at a pH of between 2 and 7, preferably between 3 and 5. The reaction between a compound of the general formula (6) and an amino compound of the general formula (7) is as a rule carried out at a temperature between 30.degree. and 80.degree. C., preferably between 60.degree. and 70.degree. C., and at a pH of between 3 and 7, preferably between 3 and 5. The compounds of the general formula (8) are as a rule reacted with the amino compounds of the formula HNR.sup.6 R.sup.7 or of the general formula (7) at a temperature between 40.degree. and 90.degree. C., preferably between 70.degree. and 85.degree. C., and at a pH of between 2.5 and 6, preferably between 3 and 5.

The starting compounds of the general formula (4) are prepared in a manner which is known per se for reaction of phthalocyanine acid chlorides with amino compounds, thus by reaction of a phthalocyanine acid chloride of the general formula (9) in which

Pc and M have the abovementioned meanings,

p is an integer from 1 to 4,

q is an integer from zero to 3,

r is an integer from zero to 3 and

s is an integer from zero to 3,

in which the sum of (p+q+r+s) is an integer from 1 to 4, the sum of (p+q) is a number from 1 to 4 and the sum of (r+s) is a number from zero to 3,

or a mixture of these compounds of the general formula (9), in an aqueous or aqueous-organic medium, with an amine of the general formula (10), in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and G have the abovementioned meanings, and if appropriate with a further amine of the general formula (11), where R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 have the abovementioned meanings, simultaneously or in any desired sequence.

In the reaction of the phthalocyanine acid chloride of the general formula (9) with an amino compound of the general formula (10) or the amines of the general formula (10) and (11), partial hydrolysis of the carboxylic acid chloride groups and of any sulfonic acid chloride groups present can take place simultaneously during these condensation reactions. As a rule, partial hydrolysis of these acid chloride groups into carboxy and sulfo groups is unavoidable.

The starting compounds of the general formula (6) or (8) are likewise obtained by procedures analogous to known procedures for reaction of amino compounds or cyanamide with halogenotriazine compounds or a cyanuric halide (1,3,5-halogeno-s-triazine), thus by reaction of a compound of the general formula (10) with a cyanuric halide, such as cyanuric chloride or cyanuric fluoride, or a dihalogeno-s-triazine of the general formula (12), in which Hal and W have the abovementioned meanings, and an amine of the general formula (7) or cyanamide in any desired sequence, the sequence of the various reactions depending on the solubility of the amino compounds participating or on the cyanamide and the basicity thereof to the halogenotriazines. The expert is familiar with the choice of these process steps. Such procedures are known, for example, from the abovementioned literature and European Patent Application Publication No. 0,073,267A.

If a starting amine of the formula (5) in which Z' is the .beta.-hydroxyethylsulfonyl group is used as the starting substance in the process according to the invention for the preparation of the phthalocyanine compounds of the general formula (1), the resulting phthalocyanine compound, which corresponds to the general formula (1) in which, however, Z here is the .beta.-hydroxy-ethylsulfonyl group, is converted into a phthalocyanine compound according to the invention, which contains an ester group, such as, for example, the sulfato group, in the .beta.-position of the ethylsulfonyl radical. This esterification reaction is carried out by procedures analogous to known procedures, using the customary esterifying and acylating agents for such acids, such as, for example, acetic anhydride, polyphosphoric acid, phosphorus pentachloride and, in particular, 96-100% strength sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid containing sulfur trioxide, such as oleum having a sulfur trioxide content of up to 35%, or chlorosulfonic acid, for introduction of the sulfato group. The reaction with sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid containing sulfur trioxide is carried out at a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 25.degree. C. The reaction with chlorosulfonic acid can also be carried out in a polar organic solvent, such as, for example, N-methylpyrrolidone, at 10.degree. to 80.degree. C.

Phthalocyanine dyestuffs of the general formula (1) can be converted by a customary and known procedure into phthalocyanine dyestuffs of the general formula (1) having a different substituent which can be eliminated under alkaline conditions in the fiber-reactive radical Z. Such procedures are described in numerous instances in the literature relating to fiber-reactive dyestuffs containing a fiber-reactive radical of the vinyl sulfone series. Phthalocyanine dyestuffs containing the .beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl radical can thus be converted into the phthalocyanine dyestuffs having the vinylsulfonyl group for the radical Z by treatment with an alkali, such as in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at a temperature of 0.degree. to 40.degree. C. in the course of a few minutes. Phthalocyanine dyestuffs according to the invention containing the .beta.-thiosulfatoethylsulfonyl radical can be obtained, for example, from phthalocyanine dyestuffs containing the vinylsulfonyl group by reaction with sodium thiosulfate.

The condensation reactions according to the invention between the compounds of the general formula (9) and the amines of the general formula (10) and (11) are carried out, for example, by a procedure analogous to the procedures of German Offenlegungsschriften Nos. 28 42 640 and 34 05 204 at a pH of between 3.5 and 8.5, preferably between 5 and 8, and at a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., preferably between 40.degree. and 60.degree. C.

Phthalocyaninesulfonic acid chlorides and phthalocyaninecarboxylic acid chlorides have been known in the literature for a long time. The preparation of phthalocyaninesulfonic acid chlorides can be seen, for example, from information in the abovementioned U.S. Patents and from German Patent No. 891,121. Phthalocyaninecarboxylic acid chlorides can be prepared analogously to the information in U.S. Pat. No. 3,301,814, one or more of the starting compounds being substituted by carboxylic acid groups. The carboxy substituted phthalocyanines thus obtained are converted into their carboxylic acid chloride compounds by well-known procedures for conversion of carboxy groups into carboxylic acid chloride groups. Phthalocyanine compounds which contain both carboxylic acid chloride and sulfochloride groups can be obtained by sulfochlorination of the phthalocyaninecarboxylic acid or -carboxylic acid chloride compounds.

Phthalocyanine starting compounds of the general formula (9) are, for example, the carboxylic acid chlorides, which optionally contain sulfo and/or sulfonyl groups, and the carboxylic acid chlorides, which contain carboxy groups, of metal-free phthalocyanine and, preferably, of copper phthalocyanine, cobalt phthalocyanine and nickel phthalocyanine, such as, for example, the mono-, di-, tri- and tetracarboxylic acid chloride of copper phthalocyanine, of cobalt phthalocyanine and of nickel phthalocyanine, thus, for example, copper phthalocyanine-(3)-monocarboxylic acid chloride, copper phthalocyanine-(3)-dicarboxylic acid chloride, copper phthalocyanine-(3)-tricarboxylic acid chloride, copper phthalocyanine-(3)-tetracarboxylic acid chloride, nickel phthalocyanine-(3)-tetracarboxylic acid chloride, cobalt phthalocyanine-(3)-monocarboxylic acid chloride, cobalt phthalocyanine-(3)-di- and -tricarboxylic acid chloride, copper phthalocyanine-(4)-mono- and -dicarboxylic acid chloride, copper phthalocyanine-(4)-tri- and -tetracarboxylic acid chloride, copper phthalocyanine-(3)-monocarboxylic acid chloride-disulfonic acid chloride, copper phthalocyanine-(3)-dicarboxylic acid chloride-monosulfonic acid chloride, copper phthalocyanine-(3)-monocarboxylic acid chloride-monocarboxylic acid, copper phthalocyanine-(3)-dicarboxylic acid chloride-monocarboxylic acid and copper phthalocyanine-(3)-dicarboxylic acid chloride-disulfonic acid chloride, and furthermore the acid chlorides of this type which additionally contain other substituents on the phthalocyanine nucleus, such as phenyl radicals and halogen atoms, such as, for example, the carboxylic acid chlorides or mixed carboxylic acid/sulfonic acid chlorides of tetraphenyl-copper phthalocyanine or tetrachloronickel phthalocyanine.

Acid-binding agents which are used in the process according to the invention for the preparation of the phthalocyanine dyestuffs of the general formula (1) are, for example, the hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, secondary phosphates, tertiary phosphates, borates and acetates of metals of groups 1 to 3 of the Periodic Table, preferably of the alkali metals, such as of sodium, potassium and lithium, and of the alkaline earth metals, such as those of calcium.

The process according to the invention for the preparation of the compounds (1) is preferably carried out in an aqueous medium. To improve the solubility of the starting substances or end products in the aqueous reaction medium, an organic solvent, preferably an amide of an aliphatic carboxylic acid, such as dimethylformamide or N-methyl-pyrrolidone, can be added if appropriate.

The phthalocyanine dyestuffs of the general formula (1) prepared according to the invention, called "dyestuffs (1)" below, are separated out of the synthesis batches by generally known methods, either 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 for a buffer substance to be added to this reaction solution. They have fiber-reactive properties and have very good dyestuff properties. They can therefore be used for dyeing and printing material containing hydroxyl and/or carboxamide groups, in particular fiber material, and also leather. The solutions obtained during synthesis of the compounds according to the invention can also be put to use for dyeing directly as a liquid preparation, if appropriate after addition of a buffer substance and if appropriate after concentration.

The present invention therefore also relates to the use of the dyestuffs (1) for dyeing (including printing) materials containing hydroxy groups and materials containing carboxamide groups, and to processes for their use on these substrates. The materials are preferably used in the form of fiber materials, in particular in the form of textile fibers, such as yarns, wound packages and woven fabrics.

Materials containing hydroxy groups are natural or synthetic materials containing hydroxy groups, such as, for example, cellulose fiber materials, also in the form of paper, or regenerated products thereof, and polyvinyl alcohols. Cellulose fiber materials are preferably cotton, but also other plant fibers, such as linen, hemp, jute and ramie fibers; regenerated cellulose fibers are, for example, staple viscose and viscose rayon.

Materials containing carboxamide groups are, for example, synthetic and natural polyamides and polyurethanes, in particular in the form of fibers, for example wool and other animal hair, silk, leather, polyamide 6,6, polyamide 6, polyamide 11 and polyamide 4.

The dyestuffs (1) can be applied to and fixed on the substrates mentioned, in particular the fiber materials mentioned, by the use techniques known for water-soluble dyestuffs, in particular for fiber-reactive dyestuffs. Dyeings in very good color yields and with an excellent color build-up are thus obtained with them on cellulose fibers by the exhaustion process from a long liquor using the most diverse acid-binding agents and if appropriate 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 up to 130.degree. C., under pressure, if appropriate in the presence of customary dyeing auxiliaries, and in an aqueous bath. A procedure can be followed here in which the material is introduced into the warm bath and this is gradually heated up to the desired dyeing temperature, and the dyeing process is brought to completion at this temperature. If desired, the neutral salts, which accelerate exhaustion of the dyestuff, can also be added to the bath only after the actual dyeing temperature has been reached.

Dyeings with excellent color yields and a very good color build-up are likewise obtained on cellulose fibers by the padding processes, it being possible for the dyeings to be fixed in the customary manner by batching at room temperature or elevated temperature, for example up to about 60.degree. C., by steaming or with dry heat.

Deep-colored prints having a good sharpness of contors and a clear white background are likewise obtained by the customary printing processes for cellulose fibers--which can be carried out either in one phase, for example by printing with a printing paste comprising sodium bicarbonate or another acid-binding agent and the coloring agent and by subsequent steaming at 100.degree. to 103.degree. C., or in two phases, for example by printing with a neutral or weakly acid printing paste which comprises the coloring agent and subsequent fixing, either by passing the printed goods through a hot alkaline bath containing electrolyte or by overpadding with an alkaline padding liquor containing electrolyte and subsequent batching of this treated material or subsequent steaming or subsequent treatment with dry heat. The print result depends only little on the varying fixing conditions. The degrees of fixing obtained with the compounds according to the invention are very high both in dyeing and in printing. Hot air at 120.degree. to 200.degree. C. is used for fixing by means of dry heat by the customary thermofixing processes. In addition to the customary steam at 101.degree. to 103.degree. C., superheated steam and pressurized steam having temperatures of up to 160.degree. C. can also be employed.

The agents which effect binding of the acids and fixing of the dyestuffs to the cellulose fibers are, for example, water-soluble basic salts of alkali metals and of alkaline earth metals with inorganic or organic acids, and also compounds which liberate an alkali under the effect of heat.

The alkali metal hydroxides and alkali metal salts of weak to moderately strong inorganic or organic acids are to be mentioned in particular, and of the alkali metal compounds, the sodium and potassium compounds are preferably meant. Such acid-binding agents are, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium formate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate.

By treatment of the dyestuffs (1) with the acid-binding agents, if appropriate under the effect of heat, the dyestuffs are bonded chemically to the cellulose fiber; the cellulose dyeings in particular show excellent wet-fastnesses after customary after-treatment by rinsing to remove non-fixed dyestuff portions, especially since non-fixed dyestuff portions can easily be washed out because of their good solubility in cold water.

Dyeings on polyurethane fibers and polyamide fibers are usually carried out from an acid medium. Thus, for example, acetic acid and/or ammonium sulfate and/or acetic acid and ammonium acetate or sodium acetate can be added to the dyebath to obtain the desired pH. To achieve a usable levelness of the dyeing, addition of customary leveling agents, such as, for example, those based on a reaction product of cyanuric chloride with three times the amount of an aminobenzenesulfonic acid or aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid or based on a reaction product of, for example, stearylamine with ethylene oxide, is advisable. As a rule, the material to be dyed is introduced into the bath at a temperature of about 40.degree. C. and is agitated therein for some time, the dyebath is then adjusted to the desired weakly acid, preferably weakly acetic acid, pH and the actual dyeing is carried out at a temperature between 60.degree. and 98.degree. C. However, the dyeings can also be carried out at the boiling point or at temperatures up to 120.degree. C. (under pressure).

The dyeings and prints produced with the compounds (1) according to the invention on cellulose fiber materials have a good depth of color, and moreover good light-fastnesses and good wet-fastnesses, such as fastness to washing, milling, water, sea-water, cross-dyeing and perspiration, and moreover a good fastness to pleating, fastness to ironing and fastness to rubbing. Their alkaline perspiration light-fastness and the good wet light-fastness of dyeings wetted with drinking water are to be singled out in particular.

The following Examples serve to illustrate the invention. The compounds described by their formulae are shown in the form of the free acid; in general, they are prepared and isolated in the form of their alkali metal salts, and used for dyeing in the form of their salts. The starting compounds mentioned in the following Examples, in particular the Tabular Examples, in the form of the free acid can likewise be employed in the synthesis as such or in the form of their salts, preferably alkali metal salts, such as sodium salts or potassium salts.

The parts mentioned in the Examples are parts by weight, and the percentage data are percentages by weight, unless noted otherwise. Parts by weight bear the same ratio to parts by volume as the kilogram to the liter. The formula radical CuPc is the copper phthalocyanine radical, and the formula radical NiPc is the nickel phthalocyanine radical.

The absorption maxima (.lambda..sub.max) in the visible range stated for the compounds according to the invention were determined with the aid of their alkali metal salts in aqueous solution. In the Tabular Examples, the .lambda..sub.max values are placed in parentheses alongside the color shade data; the wavelength data are in nm.
