Description

The present invention relates to novel yellow anionic dyes, a process for their preparation, certain novel intermediates necessary for their preparation and the use of these dyes for dyeing natural or synthetic materials, in particular, paper.


The use of diaminobenzanilides as building blocks for the synthesis of bisazo dyes and the advantages thereof has been described in Dyes and Pigments, 17, 297-302 (1991). On this basis, a number of bisazo orange and yellow dyes containing pyrazolones and phenolic derivatives as coupling components have been described, for example, in DE 818,669, DE 845,084, DE 2,362,995, GB 28,569, U.S. Pat. No. 2,228,321 and in JP 51-11817, whilst further symmetrical bisazo dyes containining 1-phenyl-5-amino pyrazoles have also been reported in U.S. Pat. No. 5,545,725, whilst U.S. Pat. No. 2,544,087 discloses certain bis-acetoacetanilide derivatives.


However, a requirement exists to provide further anionic dyes especially of neutral or greenish yellow shades, which dyes exhibit excellent degrees of exhaustion with high colour strength, whilst being sufficiently water-soluble to provide stable aqueous formulations without the need for large quantities of solubilizers. Furthermore, dyings obtained should exhibit high degrees of bleed- and light-fastness, be even- or top-sided and be readily bleachable.


Surprisingly, it has now been found that certain bisazo dyes based on diaminobenzanilides exhibit excellent effects with respect to the desired properties.


Accordingly, the invention relates to compounds of the formula

Where, in the derivatives of formulae (4) and (5), R4 represents C2-C4alkenyl, this may, for example, be ethenyl, n-propenyl, isopropenyl, n-butenyl or isobutenyl.


Where, in the acetoacetylated amines of formula (2), X2 represents a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring containing 1-3 heteroatoms and which may be benzannelated, these may be, for example, oxazol-2-yl, thiazol-2-yl, benzoxazol-2-, 5-, or 6-yl, benzothiazol-2-, 5- or 6-yl, benzimidazolone-5-yl, pyrid-2,3- or 4-yl, quinolin-2-, 4-, 5- or 6-yl or 1,3,5-triazin-2-yl radicals.


The dyes of formula (1) of the invention may be prepared by known methods, for example by tetrazotisation of a diaminobenzanilide derivative of the formula
embedded image

in which R1, R2, R3 and R3a are as defined for formula (1), and sequential coupling with a coupling component of the formula A1H or A2H, followed by coupling with a coupling component of the formula A2H or A1H, A2 and A1 being as defined for formula (1).


Such sequential coupling reactions have been described previously (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,545,725). However, it is advantageous to perform the initial coupling reaction at a pH value of between 2 and 5, especially between 2.5 and 4, whilst the subsequent coupling reaction is performed at a pH value of between 5 and 9, preferably between 6 and 8.


The coupling components A1H and A2H are known compounds or may be prepared by known methods, whilst some of the diaminobenzanilides of formula (14) are novel. Consequently, a further aspect of the invention is a compound of the formula
embedded image

preferably 4,4′diamino-2′-methoxybenzanilide 5′-sulphonic acid or 3,4′diamino-2′-methoxybenzanilide 5′-sulphonic acid, a process for the preparation thereof, by reaction of 2-methoxy-4-nitroaniline-5-sulphonic acid with the appropriate nitrobenzoyl halide, preferably m- or p-nitrobenzoyl chloride, followed by reduction of the resulting dinitrobenzanilide by known methods and also the use of the compound (18) for the preparation of the appropriate compound of formula (1).


The dyes of the invention may be used to dye natural or synthetic materials, for example, cellulosic materials, carbonamide group containing materials such as polyamides, leather or glass fibres, but are particularly useful for dyeing paper. They are preferably used as a solid or liquid commercial form.


The pulverulent or granular form of the dye is used particularly in batchwise pulp dyeing where the dye mixture, customarily in the form of a stock solution, is added in the pulper, in the beater or in the mixing chest. Preference is here given to using dye preparations which as well as the dye, may further include extenders, for example urea as solubilizer, dextrin, Glauber salt, sodium chloride and also dispersants, dustproofing agents and sequestrants, such as tetrasodium phosphate.


The present invention accordingly further provides solid dye preparations for dyeing paper comprising a compound of the formula (1) and, optionally, further auxiliaries.


In recent years, the use of concentrated aqueous solutions of dyes has gained importance because of the advantages possessed by such solutions when compared with dyes in powder form. The use of solutions avoids the difficulties associated with dust formation and releases the user from the time-consuming and frequently difficult dissolving of the dye powder in water. The use of concentrated solutions was also prompted by the development of continuous dyeing processes for paper, since it is convenient in these processes to meter the solution directly into the pulp stream or to add it at some other suitable point of the paper-making process.


The present invention accordingly further provides aqueous solutions, preferably concentrated solutions, for dyeing paper, comprising a compound of the formula (1), preferably in a concentration of from 5 to 30% by weight. Due to their excellent solubility in water, the dyes of formula (1) are particularly suitable for the preparation of such solutions.


The concentrated solutions preferably contain a low level of inorganic salts, which may be achieved, if necessary, by known methods, for example reverse osmosis.


The solutions may include further auxiliaries, for example solubilizers such as ε-caprolactam or urea, organic solvents, for example glycols, polyethylene glycols, dimethyl sulphoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, acetamide, alkanolamines or polyglycolamines, which is a still further aspect of the invention.


In addition, the aqueous dye solutions of the present invention may be applied to paper by use of the so-called spraying technique.


The novel dyes of the invention dye paper in predominantly yellow shades with excellent degrees of exhaustion with high colour strength, whilst being sufficiently water-soluble to provide stable aqueous formulations without the need for large quantities of solubilizers. Furthermore, dyings obtained exhibit high degrees of bleed- and light-fastness, are even- or top-sided and readily bleachable.


Furthermore, as a result of their high colour strength and water solubility, the novel dyes of the invention are suitable for use in the ink-jet printing method.


Consequently, one further aspect of the invention is paper which is dyed with a compound of the formula (1), either in the form of a solid dye preparation, or an aqueous solution, as described above.


The following Examples serve to illustrate the invention without intending to be restrictive in nature. Parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise stated.

73.5 g of p-penylenediamine 2-sulphonic acid are added to 300 g of water and, after addition of approximately 40 g of sodium carbonate, the violet suspension is stirred until solution results. The pH is adjusted to 7.5 by addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid and a solution of 78 g of p-nitrobenzoyl chloride in 100 ml of acetone then added slowly at 25-32° C., the pH being maintained at 6.7-7.0 by addition of 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide. After stirring for a further 1.5 hours, 210 ml of water are added and the pH adjusted to 4.0 by addition of 22 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 437
Unsized Without Filler

A mixture consisting of 50% long fibre spruce sulphite bleached and 50% short fibre beech sulphite bleached fibres is suspended in deionised water, as a 2% suspension, and refined and beaten to 22°SR (Schopper Riegler). After dewatering by means of a centrifuge and testing for dry weight, the equivalent to 10 g of dry fibre are placed in a beaker and made up to a volume of 500 ml with tap water. After stirring for 1 hour, 0.42%, based on the weight of dry fibre, of compound (101) as a 5 g/l aqueous solution are added to the furnish suspension and stirring continued for a further 15 minutes. The suspension is made up to 700 ml with water and from 300 ml of the resulting suspension a hand sheet is produced using a Lhomargy sheet former. After drying on a cylinder at 90° C. for 12 minutes, a greenish-yellow dyeing is obtained showing excellent bleed-fastness to water, soda and acetic acid and good light-fastness. The backwater from the dyeing is almost colourless and the degree of exhaustion amounts to 92-94%.


EXAMPLES 438-

The procedure described in Example 437 is repeated using, instead of compound (101), sufficient amounties of the appropriate dye to produce a dyeing of standard depth 0.2. The degrees of exhaustion of the respective dyes are calculated and the results summarized in Table 12 below.

The above results clearly demonstrate the excellent degrees of exhaustion of the dyes tested, the backwater, in all cases, being almost colourless.


EXAMPLE 456
Neutral Sized with Filler

A mixture consisting of 50% long fibre spruce sulphite bleached and 50% short fibre beech sulphite bleached fibres is suspended in deionised water, as a 2% suspension, and refined and beaten to 35°SR (Schopper Riegler). After dewatering by means of a centrifuge and testing for dry weight, the equivalent to 10 g of dry fibre and 2 g of dry chalk filler are placed in a beaker and made up to a volume of 500 ml with tap water. After stirring for 1 hour, 0.78%, based on the weight of dry fibre, of compound (101) as a 5 g/l aqueous solution are added to the furnish suspension and stirring continued for a further 15 minutes. 2% of alkyl ketene dimer size is then added, the suspension stirred for 30 minutes, 0.05% retention aid added and the suspension stirred vigorously for a further 5 minutes. The suspension is made up to 700 ml with water and from 300 ml of the resulting suspension a hand sheet is produced using a Lhomargy sheet former. After drying on a cylinder at 90° C. for 12 minutes, a greenish-yellow dyeing is obtained showing excellent fastness values. The backwater from the dyeing is only weakly coloured.
