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 containing 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.

Within the scope of the definitions of the above formulae and radicals (1) to (16), a C1-C8alkyl radical may be branched or unbranched, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, 2-ethylbutyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, 1-methylpentyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, n-hexyl, 1-methylhexyl, n-heptyl, isoheptyl, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl, 1-methylheptyl, 3-methylheptyl, n-octyl or 2-ethylhexyl.

When such alkyl or alkoxy radicals are substituted, appropriate substituents may typically include one or two hydroxy, SO3H, carboxy, C1-C4alkoxy, hydroxy-substituted C1-C4alkoxy, phenyl or phenoxy groups. Suitable radicals of this type may include hydroxyethyl, 1-hydroxyisopropyl, ethoxymethyl, 2-hydroxyethoxypentyl, benzyl, 1-phenylethyl, 2-phenylethyl, 1-methyl-2-phenylethyl, 1-isobutyl-3-phenylpropyl or 1-methyl-2-phenoxyethyl.
Halogen in the above formulae and radicals is iodine, bromine, fluorine or, especially, chlorine.
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
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, further aspect of the invention is a compound of the formula
preferably 4,4′diamino-2′-methoxybenzanilide 5′-sulphonic acid or 3,4′diamino-2′-methoxy-benzanilide 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.

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.
