Description
The present invention concerns new cobalt-containing azo dyestuffs, a process for the production thereof, their use for the dyeing of organic fiber materials or for the dyeing and pigmenting of non-fibrous polymeric organic materials, as well as, as industrial products, the organic materials dyed or pigmented with the new cobalt-containing azo dyestuffs.
It has been found that valuable, strongly colored and light-fast cobalt-containing azo dyestuffs are obtained by reacting a complex cobalt (III) compound containing per cobalt atom two molecules of a colorless tridentate, organic ligand which is bound in complex linkage to the cobalt atom by way of bridges free from --COO-- or --O--, but preferably via trivalent nitrogen atoms of said ligand having an electronic pair available for complex coordination bonding to cobalt, with an azo dyestuff capable of forming bicyclic metal complexes with cobalt, whereby complex azo dyestuff-cobalt compounds which contain a colorless, tridentate, organic ligand of the type mentioned above bound in complex linkage, are produced. The starting cobalt (III) complex compounds are referred to hereinafter as "complex Co.sup.III -ligand compounds."
The colorless, tridentate ligand in the starting complex Co.sup.III -ligand compound is preferably bound to the cobalt atom by way of three nitrogen atoms, wherein each of these nitrogen atoms is, for instance, in a primary or a secondary or tertiary amino group, e.g. an amino group substituted as defined below or a piperidino, C-pyridyl, C-quinonyl, triazinyl or C,C-pyridylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted imino group, nitrilo group, oximido group, hydrazino group or hydrazone group, substitution of said substituted amino and imino groups preferably being by a member selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, phenyl, benzyl or cyclohexyl.
The cobalt-complexing nitrogen atoms in the ligand molecule are advantageously separated from one another by a two- or three-membered, saturated or unsaturated sequence consisting of carbon atoms or carbon and nitrogen atoms, each of the cobalt-complexing nitrogen atoms and the aforesaid sequence of atoms can be part of a ring or ring system which is preferably five- or six-membered.
Examples of such ligands described by using the nomenclature according to F. P. Dwyer and D. P. Mellor, "Chelating agents and metal chelates," pages 144 et seq. are:
N,N-bis(.beta.-phenylaminoethyl)-N-ethylamine, N,N"-dibenzyldiethylenetriamine, N,N-bis-(.beta.-N'-piperidinoethyl)-N-ethylamine, 1-amino-2-(.beta.-amino-ethylamino)-cyclohexane, 2,2'-diaminodicyclohexylamine, 1-amino-2-(.beta.-amino-ethylamino)-benzene, 2,2'-diamino-diphenylamine, 2,6-(di-2'-pyridyl)-pyridine, ("Terpyridyl"), 8-(2'-amino-phenylamino)-quinoline, (2-pyridylmethylene-aminoethyl)-diethylamine, 1-(diethylamino)-2-(2'-pyridyl-methylene-amino)-benzene, 1-(dimethylamino)-2-(2'-pyridyl-methyleneamino)-cyclohexane, 2-(2'-pyridyl-methylene-amino-methyl)-pyridine, 8-(2'-pyridyl-methyleneamino)-quinoline, 2,6-bis-(benzylaminomethylene)-pyridine, 2,6-bis-(aminomethyl)-pyridine, pyridine-2,6-dialdehyde dioxime, pyridine-2,6-dialdehyde-dihydrazone, 2-methoxy-4,6-dihydrazino-1,3,5-triazine, 2-amino-4,6-dihydrazino-1,3,5-triazine.
The most important ligands are dialkylenetriamines and triaminoalkanes due to the particularly good stability of the complexes containing them. Examples of dialkylenetriamines are diethylenetriamine, monoethylene-monopropylenetriamine, dipropylenetriamine and their N-alkylated products; examples of triaminoalkanes are: .alpha.,.beta. ,.gamma. -triaminopropane, .alpha.,.beta. ,.delta. -triaminobutane or .alpha.,.gamma. -diamino-.beta.-(aminomethyl)propane.
Diethylenetriamine is particularly preferred amongst ligands which contain three nitrogen-containing groups as complex-forming groups. This ligand produces very stable cobalt-containing azo dyestuffs at good yield rates.
In the complex Co.sup.III -ligand compound used as starting material, the two ligands can be identical or different: preferably they are identical and belong to the class of dialkylenetriamines and triaminoalkanes. Preferred complex Co.sup.III -ligand compounds are water-soluble bis-(diethylenetriamine)-cobalt(III) salts, e.g. the corresponding chloride, bromide, sulfate, perchlorate or acetate.
The complex Co.sup.III -ligand compounds used as starting materials are produced, for example, by reacting the colorless ligand with a cobalt(III) salt such as cobalt (III) hexamine trichloride in aqueous or aqueous-organic solution. Instead of cobalt(III) salts, also cobalt(II) salts can be used, for example, cobalt(II) chloride, sulfate or acetate. In this case, subsequent oxidation to form the Co.sup.III -ligand compound is necessary. Mainly atmospheric oxygen or hydrogen peroxide are used as oxidizing agents.
Azo dyestuffs which are capable of forming bicyclic metal complexes and hence are usable according to the invention are well known, or can be produced by well-known methods. Especially those azo dyestuffs are useful which fall under the formula ##EQU1##
In this formula
D represents a radical of the benzene or naphthalene series wherein X is in a position adjacent to the azo bridge,
E represents the radical of a coupling component coupling in a position ortho to X',
X represents hydroxyl, carboxyl, an alkylsulfonamido group, e.g. the methylsulfonamido, or an arylsulfonamido group, wherein "aryl" is preferably mononuclear, e.g. the p-methylphenylsulfonamido group, or a substituent which can be converted into such a group, and
X' represents a hydroxyl group or a primary or secondary amino group.
Preferably, D is a radical of the benzene series; E represents, e.g. the radical of a benzene, naphthalene, 1-aryl-pyrazole or acyloacetarylamide compound.
D and E can contain the substituents usual in dyestuffs, for example, nucleophilic substituents such as hydrocarbon radicals, particularly lower alkyl groups, ether groups, preferably lower alkoxy groups, or acylamino groups, e.g. alkanoylamino, aroylamino, alkylsulfonylamino, arylsulfonylamino or carbalkoxyamino groups; or electrophilic substituents such as halogens, e.g. fluorine, chlorine or bromine, carboxyl groups and sulfonic acid groups, or functional derivatives thereof, e.g. carboxylic and sulfonic acid amide groups optionally mono- or di-substituted at the nitrogen atom preferably with lower alkyl, phenyl or cyclohexyl, or carboxylic acid ester groups such as lower alkoxy-carbonyl or phenoxy-carbonyl radicals, or sulfonic acid aryl ester groups, nitro, cyano or trifluoromethyl groups, arylazo groups such as phenylazo or naphthylazo groups, or acyl groups such as alkanoyl, aroyl, alkylsulfonyl or arylsulfonyl groups.
The aromatic rings which may be present in these substituents can be accordingly substituted in their turn by the aforesaid substituents.
Lower alkoxy groups such as methoxy or ethoxy groups, or acyloxy groups, e.g. lower alkanoyloxy groups, or (mononuclear aryl) sulfonyloxy groups such as the p-toluyl-sulfonyloxy group, are examples of the case when X in Formula I is a substituent which can be converted into a hydroxyl group. If X is a substituent which can be converted into a carboxyl group then it is, for example, a carboxylic acid ester group, particularly a lower alkoxy-carbonyl group. If X is a substituent which can be converted into an alkylsulfonamido or arylsulfonamido group, then it represents, for example, a bis-(lower alkyl-sulfone)-amido or a bis-(mononuclear arylsulfone)-amido group. By "mononuclear aryl" as used in this specification and the appended claims there are meant phenyl, lower alkyl-phenyl, chloro-phenyl, bromophenyl, sulfophenyl, lower alkylsulfonylphenyl, phenylsulfonyl phenyl, nitro phenyl, methylsulfonylaminophenyl, lower alkanoylamino-phenyl, sulfamylphenyl, N-lower alkyl-sulfamylphenyl, N-hydroxy-lower alkyl-sulfamyl-phenyl, carboxyphenyl, hydroxyphenyl and sulfophenyl-sulfonylphenyl.
Preferably, X is a hydroxyl group and X' is a hydroxyl group, an unsubstituted amino group, a lower alkylamino or an arylamino, especially a phenylamino group.
The reaction according to the invention of the complex Co.sup.III -ligand compound with the azo dyestuff is advantageously performed in weakly acid, neutral or alkaline solution or dispersion. Suitable solvents, depending on the type of complex Co.sup.III -ligand compound as defined and on the substitution of the azo dyestuff, are water or organic solvents miscible therewith such as alkanols, e.g. methanol, ethanol or butanol, alkylene glycols, e.g. ethylene glycol, propylene glycols or diethylene glycol, or their monoethers, e.g. ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether, also ketones such as acetone, fatty acid amides, e.g. formamide or dimethyl formamide, ethers, e.g. dioxan, or secondary or teriary nitrogen bases. Higher temperatures are often necessary for the reaction, but the reaction partners can also be reacted in the melt. As flux are suitable, e.g. salts of fatty acids such as sodium acetate, amides of fatty acids such as acetamide, also urea and thiourea and their N-substitution products.
One method of performing the invention is, for example, to react one mol of a complex Co.sup.3 .sup.+-ligand compound which contains, per cobalt atom, two molecules of a colorless, tridentate organic ligand bound in complex linkage to the atom by way of three nitrogen atoms and is, moreover, free from ionogenic groups not taking part in the complex formation, with one mol of an azo dyestuff capable of forming bicyclic metal complexes. A complex azo dyestuff-cobalt compound is obtained which contains one molecule of the above ligand and one molecule of azo dyestuff bound in complex linkage per cobalt atom.
If a complex Co.sup.3 .sup.+-ligand compound of the type mentioned in the previous paragraph is reacted with an azo dyestuff being free from groups which dissociate acid in neutral water and do not take part in the complex formation, then a complex azo dyestuff-cobalt compound is obtained which has a cationic character, i.e., a basic dyestuff is obtained.
Such new complex azo dyestuff-cobalt compounds are in the form of salts of strong inorganic or organic acids the anions of which are present at the time of the production. They are thus, especially, chlorides, bromides, sulfates or perchlorates. If desired, salts of other acids can also be produced by double decomposition, for example, oxalates by the addition of oxalic acid. Double salts can also be produced, e.g. with the dyestuff halides and corresponding zinc or cadmium salts.
These cationic dyestuffs are particularly suitable for the fast dyeing of polymeric and copolymeric acrylic fibers from aqueous solution.
If a complex Co.sup.III -ligand compound as described hereinbefore is reacted with an azo dyestuff which contains one group which dissociates acid in neutral water but which does not take part in the complex formation, in particular the sulfonic acid group, a complex dyestuff-cobalt compound is obtained which has the character of an inner salt (betaine) and which is slightly soluble in water and in most organic solvents. Dyestuffs of this type can be used for the dyeing and/or pigmenting of polymeric and copolymeric organic material, e.g. of lacquers such as nitro lacquers or stoving lacquers, or synthetic plastics such as polyvinyl chloride or of spinning masses such as those composed of cellulose triacetate.
A particularly valuable method of performing the invention consists, for example, in dyeing polyamide fibers, especially wool or nylon, from a weakly acid aqueous bath with an azo dyestuff capable of forming bicyclic metal complexes, which dyestuff contains one group which dissociates acid in neutral water but takes no part in the complex formation, and after-treating the dyed goods in a weakly acid, neutral or weakly alkaline bath, with a Co.sup.III -ligand compound as defined hereinbefore, which is, moreover, free from ionogenic groups not taking part in the complex formation. In this way, the corresponding complex azo dyestuff-cobalt compound is formed on and within the fiber, whereby dyeings with good fastness properties, especially wet and light fastness are obtained.
If a complex Co.sup.III -ligand compound of the last-described type is reacted with an azo dyestuff which contains at least two groups which dissociate acid in neutral water and do not take part in the complex formation, preferably sulfonic acid groups, then a complex azo dyestuff-cobalt compound is obtained which has anionic character. These dyestuffs are also suitable for the fast dyeing of polyamide fibers, e.g. wool or leather, from aqueous, acid solution.
Another method consists in reacting one mol of a complex Co.sup.III -ligand compound of the last-defined type, with 1 1/2 mols of an azo dyestuff capable of forming bicyclic metal complexes, which dyestuff is free from groups which dissociate acid in neutral water and do not take part in the complex formation. In this way, complex dyestuff-cobalt compounds are obtained which contain one molecule of ligand and three molecules of azo dyestuff bound in complex linkage to each two cobalt atoms. These are salt-like compounds the cation of which is formed by one cobalt atom, one molecule of ligand and one molecule of azo dyestuff, and the anion of which is formed by one cobalt atom and two molecules of azo dyestuff. These dyestuffs are slightly soluble in water but are soluble in organic solvents miscible therewith, e.g. alkanols or ketones. They can be used, for example, as dyestuffs for lacquers.
The term "lower" as used in this specification in connection with "alkyl" and alkoxy" means that these radicals have from one to five carbon atoms.
The following non-limitative examples serve to illustrate the invention. The temperatures are given in degrees Centigrade; percentages are by weight unless expressly stated otherwise.
