Abstract
Fiber-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyestuffs are disclosed which are tricyclic and wherein the heavy metal is a metal of an atomic number ranging from 24 to 30 and is bonded via a --COO-- and --O-- substituent to different diazo components and to the terminal nitrogen atoms of the central formazane bridge portion ##STR1## wherein R represents an optionally substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, a cycloaliphatic radical or a carbo- or heterocyclic-aromatic radical, one of the aforesaid diazo components or the radical R bearing the fiber-reactive substituent. These dyestuffs are useful for the dyeing and printing of textile materials, and also of synthetic materials for other then textile uses. The dyestuffs may contain or may be free from watersolubilizing groups the former being especially useful for the dyeing of leather, paper, and natural or synthetic polypeptide fiber materials, as well as for the dyeing and printing of material or regenerated cellulosic fiber materials, especially cotton. Dyestuffs in which this fiber-reactive substituent is a pyrimidyl amino radical containing at least one fluorine atom are distinguished by their high reactivity; dyeings or prints obtained therewith are very stable vis-a-vis acid or alkaline hydrolysis and exhibit very good fastness to light, milling and wet treatments.

Description
Description of the Invention
The present invention concerns new, valuable, fiber-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyestuffs having very pure shades, processes for the production of these dyestuffs, their use for the dyeing or printing of organic materials, particularly textile material as well as, as industrial product, the material dyed or printed using the new dyestuffs.
Because of their purity of shade, blue to green anthraquinone dyestuffs are of particular interest. Up to the present, it has not been possible to produce azo dyestuffs with equally pure blue to green shades and equally good total fastness properties.
It has now been found that new, reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyestuffs of the general formula I ##STR2## have shades which, in addition to their great colour strength, good fastness properties and good fastness to light, in their purity attain the usual standard for anthraquinone dyestuffs. In addition, they can be produced by the use of cheap starting materials.
In this formula
A represents the radical of a diazo component which contains X in the o-position to the azo bond,
X represents a metal binding substituent,
P represents an optionally substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon radical a cycloaliphatic radical or a carbo- or heterocyclic-aromatic radical,
R' represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl group,
Y represents a acyl radical which enters into at least one covalent bond with the substrate,
Z represents a salt-forming, water solubilising group which dissociates acid in water,
Me represents a heavy metal of the atomic numbers 24 to 30, and
m represents a positive whole number of at most 7.
As radical of a diazo component, A preferably belongs to the series of aromatic carbocycles which can be mono- or di-nuclear. Chiefly A is the radical of an o-phenylene compound, optionally also the radical of an o-naphthylene compound which can contain further ring substituents usual in azo dyestuffs or can be condensed with other heterocycles. In the latter case A is, e.g. the radial of a 1,3-benzo-oxythiol-3,3-dioxide.
Examples of substituents in the ring A which are usual in azo dyestuffs are: halogen such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine, lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, isopropyl or tert.butyl groups; ether groups, preferably aryloxy groups such as the phenoxy group; lower alkylsulphonyl groups such as the methyl- or ethyl-sulphonyl group; lower alkanoyl groups such as the acetyl or propionyl group; sulphonic acid amide groups including the N-mono- and N,N-di-lower-alkyl substituted amide groups such as the sulphamoyl, sulphonic acid-N-methyl, sulphonic acid-N,N-dimethyl sulphonic acid-N-ethyl, sulphonic acid-N,N-diethyl or sulphonic acid-N-propylamido group; nitro or cyano group; or .beta.-sulphatoethyl or .beta.-halogenethyl sulphonic acid group or .beta.-sulphatoethyl or .beta.-halogenethyl sulphonic acid amide group.
As substituent important for the metal complex formation, the radical A contains a metal binding substituent symbolised by X in o-position to the azo bond. This substituent is derived, e.g. from a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group or from an acidic imide group, the latter being substituted, e.g. by the radical of an organic sulphonic acid. In particularly valuable dyestuffs according to the invention, A represents an o-phenylene radical substituted by a sulphonic acid group, which phenylene radical can optionally be further substituted by a sulphonic acid group, a lower alkylsulphonyl group, sulphonic acid amide group, mono- or N,N-di-lower alkylsulphonic acid amide group, and X is oxygen.
When R represents an unsubstituted aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, then it is, e.g. straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl groups (in the latter case particularly .DELTA..sup.2 -alkenyl groups) having, preferably, up to 8 carbon atoms such as the methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, allyl, n-butyl, sec.butyl, tert.butyl, n-amyl, tert.amyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl and n-octyl group. All these groups can contain, as substituents, halogen atoms such as fluorine or chlorine, the cyano group, a lower alkoxy group such as the methoxy or ethoxy group, an aralkoxy group such as the benzyloxy group, an aryloxy group such as the phenoxy group, a carbalkoxy group such as the acetyloxy, propionyloxy or benzoyloxy group, a carbacyl group such as the acetyl, propionyl or benzoyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group such as the methoxycarbonyl or ethoxycarbonyl group, or an N,N-dialkylamino group such as the N,N-dimethylamino or N,N-diethylamino group. The aliphatic hydrocarbon radical R, however, can also be substituted by aromatic radicals, in which case particularly by the phenyl radical. In this case, e.g. the benzyl or phenethyl group is meant.
As cycloalphatic radical symbolised by R, e.g. cycloalkyl groups having, preferably, 5- or 6-membered rings, in particular the cyclohexyl group, are meant.
When R is a carbocyclic-aromatic radical, preferably radicals of mono- or di-nuclear aromates, particularly the phenyl group or also the naphthyl group is meant. The phenyl group can contain, as further ring substituents, e.g. halogen such as chlorine, also fluorine or bromine; the hydroxyl, nitro or cyano group; alkyl and alkoxy groups having up to 5 carbon atoms, di-lower-alkylamino groups, sulphonic acid-N,N-di-lower-alkylamide groups or lower alkylsulphonyl groups.
When R is a heterocyclic-aromatic radical, it is chiefly the pyrazolyl-2, furyl-2, thienyl-2, pyridyl-3, pyridyl-4-quinolyl- 4 and benzimidazolyl-2 radical.
When R' is a lower alkyl group, this preferably has from 1 to 5 carbon atoms; e.g. it is the methyl, ethyl, isopropyl or tert.butyl group.
In preferred formazane dyestuffs of formula I, R is a, at most, dinuclear carbocyclic-aromatic radical, particularly a phenyl radical optionally substituted by 1 or 2 sulphonic acid groups and/or by halogen, particularly chlorine, or lower alkyl groups, particularly methyl, and R' is hydrogen.
The acyl radical Y which enters into at least one covalent bond with the substrate is derived from organic carboxylic acids, organic sulphonic acids as well as from nitrogen heterocycles which contain the so-called fibre reactive groupings which can be split off under the dyeing conditions together with the pair of electrons forming the bond or which contain at least one polylinkage to which addition can be made. If Y is the radical of an organic carboxylic acid, then it is, e.g. a preferably lower aliphatic carboxylic acid radical having a polylinkage to which addition can be made such as an unsubstituted alkenoyl radical, e.g. the acryloyl or methacryloyl, fumaroyl or maleinoyl radical, an alkinoyl radical such as the propioloyl radical or a substituted alkanoyl or alkenoyl radicals such as the chloro- or bromo-acetyl, .beta.-chloropropionyl, .alpha.- or .beta.-chloro- or .beta.- or 3-bromo-acryloyl, .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionoyl, monochloro- or monobromomaleinoyl or .beta.-chlorocrotonoyl radical.
Fibre reactive, particularly cellulose reactive, dyestuffs obtainable according to the invention contain, as reactive acyl radical Y, preferably the radical of a nitrogen heterocycle, especially the radical of aromatic 6-membered nitrogen heterocycles or of a halogen polyazine carboxylic acid containing advantageously more than one ring hetero atom. These heterocyles contain at least one mobile halogen atom, preferably chlorine or also fluorine or bromine, or instead of these halogen atoms an ammonium or sulphonic acid or alkylsulphonyl group as substituent at the ring carbon atom and, optionally, they are bound to the ##STR3## group of dyestuffs of formula I according to the invention by way of a carbonyl or sulphonyl group.
If such acyl radicals Y contain several fibre reactive groupings, then reaction products of such a group with organic radicals, particularly with a primary or secondary amine, or a water soluble dyestuff containing an acylatable amino group, or with an organic compound, from which latter dyestuffs can be formed, can also be used.
As examples of such preferred fibre reactive acyl groups Y containing a component which can be split off under the dyeing conditions together with the pair of electrons forming the bond can be mentioned: cyanuric chloride derivatives such as 2,4-dichloro-, 2,4-dibromo-, 2-chloro- or 2-bromo- 4-amino-, 2-chloro- or 2-bromo- 4-low-alkoxy-, -4-phenylamino-, -4-(2'- or 4'-sulphophenylamino)-, -4-(2', 4'- or 2', 5'-disulphophenylamino)-, 2-chloro-4-[4", 8"-disulphonaphthyl-2"-azo-(4')]-phenylamino-, 2-chloro-4-[4", 7"-disulphonaphthyl-2"-azo-(4')]-3'-methyl-, the 2-chloro-4-[3'-(4"-(4'"-sulphophenylazo)-3"-carboxyl-5"-pyrazolon-1"-yl)]- phenylamino- or 2-chloro-4-[3'-(4"-(2'", 4'"-disulphophenylazo)-3"-carboxyl-5"-pyrazolon-1"-yl) ]-phenylamino- 1,3,5-triazinyl-6-radical or also the 1,3,5-triazine-2-dimethylamino-4-fluoro-6-N-methyl-N-carbonyl radical;
derivatives of the pyrimidyl-6 radical such as the 2,4-dichloro-, 2,4-dibromo-, 2-chloro-4-(2'-sulphophenylamino)-, 2-chloro-4-carboxylic acid arylamide-, 2-chloro-5-cyano- or -5-acetyl-, 2,4,5-trichloro-, 2,4,5-tribromo-, 2,4-dichloro-5-cyano-, -5-acetyl-, -5-alkyl-, -5-aryl-, -5-carboxylic acid arylamide-, -5-arylsulphonyl- or -5-bromo-pyrimidyl- 6 radical, as well as derivatives of the pyrimidyl-5 radical such as 2-chloro- or 2-bromo-pyrimidyl- 5-carbonyl radical having further halogen
in the 4-position, or a 2-chloro- or 2-bromo-pyrimidyl- 6-carbonyl radical having further halogen in 4- or 4,5-position, or having an inert substituent, e.g. a lower alkyl, halogenoalkyl or dihalogenoalkyl or a phenyl group in one position and halogen in the other, e.g. the 2,4-dichloro-6-methyl-pyrimidyl-5-carbonyl radical, or having two inert substituents in these positions.
Also reaction products of these fibre reactive groups containing mobile halogen can be used. These then contain, e.g. at least one ammonium substituent which can be split off, e.g. an N-pyridinium, N-trialkylammonium, an N-triethylene-diammonium or an asymmetrical N-dialkyl hydrazinium group.
Derivatives of quinoxaline such as a 2,3-dichloro-quinoxaline -6-carbonyl or -6-sulphonyl radical,
derivatives of phthalazine such as a 1,4-dichloro- or 1,4-dibromo-phthalazine- 6-carbonyl radical,
derivatives of quinazoline such as a 2,4-dichloro-quinazoline- 6- or -7-carbonyl radical,
derivatives of pyridazone such as a 4,5-dichloro-pyridazone-( 6)-1-alkanoyl- or -1-phenylcarbonyl radical,
derivatives of benzothiazole and benzoxazole such as 2-chloro- or 2-sulpho-benzothiazole- 6-carbonyl or -6-sulphonyl radical or 2-chloro- or 2-sulpho-benzoxazole- 6-carbonyl or -6-sulphonyl radical,
derivatives of benzoylsulphonyl or phenylsulphonyl radicals such as the m-nitro, m-methylsulphonyl or m-sulphamyl-phenylcarbonyl or sulphonyl radical having mobile halogen, preferably fluorine or also chlorine in o- or p-position to the nitro, methylsulphonyl or sulphamyl group.
Preferably the ##STR4## group is in the p-position to the hydrazone group.
Preferred fibre reactive acyl groups Y are derived from cyanuric chloride or its mono-reaction products or from tetrachloro -pyrimidine, 2,4-dichloropyrimidine-5- or -6-carboxylic acid or its mono-reaction products.
Dyestuffs according to the invention preferably contain sulphonic acid groups, but also phosphonic acid groups or carboxyl or disulphimide or monoester groups of polybasic acids, e.g. sulphate groups as salt forming, water solubilising groups corresponding to Z which dissociate acid in water. In the dyestuff molecule, Z can also have more than one of these meanings.
The fiber-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyestuffs of formula I can be produced by methods known per se.
They are produced, e.g. by coupling the diazonium compound of an amine of the general formula II
wherein A has the meaning given in formula I, and
X' represents a metallisable group or a substituent which can be converted into a metallisable group, with a coupling component of the general formula III ##STR5## wherein Y, R' and R have the meanings given in formula I, and
Q represents hydrogen or a substituent which can be replaced by azo coupling, to form a formazane dyestuff of the general formula IV ##STR6## wherein A, R, R', Y, Z and m have the meanings given in formula I and
X' has the meaning given in formula II, the components of formulae II and III being so chosen that the formazane dyestuff of formula IV contains at most 6 Z, and reacting the formazane dyestuff obtained of formula IV, simultaneously or subsequently, with an agent introducing a heavy metal Me, to form a formazane dyestuff of formula I.
Naturally the groups given in the description of X in formula I can be used as metallisable groups X'. Examples of substituents X' which can be converted into metallisable groups are lower, optionally substituted, alkoxy groups such as the methoxy, ethoxy, carboxymethoxy or carboxyethoxy group, also bis-alkyl- or bis-aryl-sulphonylamide groups or acyloxy groups which, after diazotisation and coupling, can easily be saponified to alkyl- or aryl-sulphonylamide or hydroxyl groups. Finally, X' can represent a substituent which, under oxidising coppering conditions, can be converted into oxygen having two separate bonds, e.g. hydrogen or the sulphonic acid group.
If Q in coupling components of the general formula III represents a substituent which can be replaced by azo coupling then it is the formyl or carboxyl group or a substituent which can be converted into the carboxyl group, such as a cyano, carboxylic acid ester or carboxylic acid amide group.
Advantageously the o-hydroxyaminobenzene and o-hydroxyaminonaphthalene as well as o-caboxyamino-benzene and -naphthalene compounds usual in the production of metallisable azo dyestuffs are used as diazo components of formula II having a metallisable group X' in the o-position to the nitrogen bond. As examples can be mentioned: 2-hydroxyl-1-aminobenzenes mono- and poly-substituted by identical or different lower alkyl, halogen, nitro, cyano, alkanoyl, alkylsulphonyl, sulphamide, N-alkyl- or N-cycloalkyl-sulphamide or .beta.-chloroethylsulphonyl, .beta.-hydroxyethylsulphonyl sulphuric acid esters, .beta.-hydroxyethylsulphamoyl sulphuric acid esters, 2-hydroxy-1-aminobenzene-3-, -4-, -5-, or -6-, sulphonic acids or 2-aminobenzene-1-carboxylic acids or sulphonated 2-aminobenzene-1-carboxylic acids such as 2-aminobenzene -1-carboxylic acid -5-sulphonic acid, also optionally further substituted, particularly sulphonated, o-aminonaphthalene carboxylic acids such as 2-aminonaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid, 2-amino-3-carboxy-naphthalene-6-sulphonic acid and -6,8-disulphonic acid, 1-hydroxy-2-aminonaphthalene sulphonic acids and 2-hydroxy-1 - or -3-aminonaphthalene sulphonic acids, such as 2-hydroxy-1-amino-naphthalene -4-sulphonic acid and its compound nitrated or sulphonated in the 6-position.
As diazo components of formula II having a substituent X' in the o-position to the nitrogen bond which can be converted into a metallisable group can be mentioned, e.g.: 1-aminobenzene-2-bis-(alkyl- or aryl-sulphonyl)-imides as well as derivatives thereof substituted in the ring, e.g. 1-aminobenzene-2-bis-(4'-methylbenzene-sulphonyl)-imide as well as the corresponding 4- or 5-chloro, 4- or 5-alkylsulphonyl, 4- or 5-cyano, or 4- or 5-methyl compounds which can be diazotised, coupled and, under mild conditions, can be saponified in an alkaline medium to form the corresponding metallisable o-toluene sulphonylamidobenzene azo dyestuffs. Also o-low alkoxyarylamines can be used which are metallised under de-alkylating conditions.
Coupling components of general formula III can be produced by various methods. They are obtained, e.g. by condensing an aldehyde of formula V ##STR7## with a hydrazine of formula VI ##STR8## to form the aryl hydrazone of formula III, or by coupling an H-R-methine or H-R-methylene compound which can be coupled twice with a diazonium compound of an amine of formula VII ##STR9## and then, if necessary, saponifying a substituted carboxylic acid or nitrile group Q to the carboxyl group.
In formula V, VI and VII, R, R' and Y have the meanings given in formula I.
As aldehydes of formula V for the production of the aryl hydrazones of formula III, chiefly carbocyclic-aromatic aldehydes are used as they lead to the particularly valuable dyestuffs. Examples of such aldehydes are: benzaldehyde, 2-, 3-, or 4-methyl-benzaldehyde, 4-methoxy-benzaldehyde, 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2- or 4-chlorobenzaldehyde, 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde, 2-chloro-5-sulphobenzaldehyde, 4-dimethylamino- or 4-diethylamino-benzaldehyde, 2-, 3- or 4-sulphobenzaldehyde and 2,4-disulphobenzaldehyde. Also, polynuclear and heterocyclic-aromatic aldehydes can be used, e.g. 1- or 2-naphthaldehyde, pyrazolyl-2-, furfurol-2-, thiophene- 2-aldehyde, pyridine-3-aldehyde, quinoline-4-aldehyde and benzimidazole-2-aldehyde. Also aliphatic aldehydes can be used, e.g. propanal, crotonaldehyde, butyraldehyde, enanthaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde or cinnamaldehyde.
Hydrazines of formula VI can be produced by the usual methods, e.g. by diazotising the corresponding acylaminobenzene carboxylic acids of formula VII and reducing their diazonium compound with salts of sulphurous acid while saponifying the N-sulphonic acids formed as intermediate products with strong mineral acid or with alkali stannites, to form the aryl hydrazine of formula VI.
The condensation of the aldehydes of formula V with the hydrazines of formula VI to the aryl hydrazones of formula III is performed very easily,, optionally by heating in aqueous or organic solution.
As methylene or methine compounds which can be coupled twice and which, on completion of the coupling, contain a carboxyl group or a substituent which can be converted into such at the methine carbon atom, are used, preferably, e.g. phenyl formyl acetic acid alkyl esters as well as the corresponding nitrile, also chlorophenyl formyl acetic acid alkyl ester, benzyl formyl acetic acid alkyl esters, phenylcyanoacetic acid, phenylcyanoacetic acid alkyl esters, phenylcyanoacetic acid amide, .alpha.-phenylacetacetic acid alkyl esters, .alpha.-phenylacetacetic acid nitrile or also .alpha.-naphthyl formyl acetic acid alkyl esters.
As diazo components of an amine of formula VII the following can be mentioned as easily accessible: 4- or 5-(2', 4'-dichloro-s-triazinyl-6'-amino)-, 4- or 5-[2'-chloro-4'(3"-sulphophenylamino)-s-triazinyl-6'-amino]-, 4- or 5-(2', 5', 6'-trichloropyrimidyl -(4') -amino)-, 4- or 5-(2', 3'-dichloroquinoxaline-6'-carbonylamino)-, 4- or 5-(1', 4'-dichlorophthalazine-6'-carbonylamino)-, 4- or 5-(2', 4'-dichloro-quinazoline-6'-or -7' -carbonylamino)-, 4- or 5-[(4', 5'-dichloropyrazine-6'on-1'-yl)-.beta.-propionylamino]-2-aminobenzene-1-ca rboxylic acid.
The diazotisation of amines of formula VII and coupling with methylene or methine compounds which can be coupled twice to form the aryl hydrazone of formula III is performed by the usual methods, advantageously in a weakly alkaline medium and at a temperature of 0.degree. to about 40.degree. C.
The coupling of the diazonium compound of amines of formula II with the coupling components of formula III to form the formazane dyestuffs of formula IV is performed by known methods, advantageously in the presence of an agent introducing metal. e.g. agents introducing calcium, magnesium, zinc or coper. It is performed preferably in a weakly acid to weakly alkaline medium and at a temperature of 0.degree. to about 40.degree. C. If alkaline earth metals are used then these can very easily be replaced by a heavy metal Me from the formazane complex formed, e.g. by simple heating in an aqueous or organic solution containing the heavy metal salt.
As agents introducing heavy metal Me, with which the metal-free formazane compounds of formula IV are converted by known methods into their heavy metal complexes of formula I, the usual, advantageously water soluble, simple or complex salts of heavy metals of the atomic numbers 24 to 30 of organic or inorganic acids are used, i.e. the water soluble chromium, cobalt, nickel, zinc, manganese and, mainly, the copper or nickel salts of mineral acids or low fatty acids such as copper sulphate, copper acetate or nickel acetate. When heavy metal salts of mineral acids are used, metallisation is advantageously performed in the presence of a mineral acid buffering agent, of which examples are, in particular, alkali hyroxides or alkali carbonates or alkali metal salts of low fatty acids such as alkali acetates, or alkali metal salts of polybasic oxygen acids of phosphorus, or ammonia or tert.nitrogen bases such as pyridine. Optionally, also complex salts of these metals can be used.
At least equimolecular amounts of the agent introducing heavy metal are used so that at least one heavy metal atom is present per mol of dyestuff. Metallisation is usually completed even at room temperature; often however, heating up to about 80.degree. C is necessary. Without complex forming agents, the metallisation is advantageously performed at pH values of 4 to 8 whilst in the presence of complex forming agents such as tartaric or citric acid, it is preferably performed at a pH of between about 8 and 14.
A modification of the process according to the invention for the production of new, heavy metal-containing, fiber-reactive formazane dyestuffs of formula I consists in reacting a heavy metal-containing aminoformazane dyestuff of formula VIII ##STR10## wherein A, R, R', X and Me have the meanings given in formula I, with an agent introducing the fibre reactive acyl radical Y to form a formazane dyestuff of formula I, the components of formula VIII and the acylating agent introducing the fibre reactive radical being so chosen that A, R and Y in formula I contain together at most 6 Z as substituents.
Starting materials of formula VIII wherein ##STR11## is an acylatable amino group can be obtained, e.g. by saponification of dyestuffs of formula I in which Y is an acyl group, e.g. an acetyl- or alkoxy-carbonyl group which can be obtained according to the invention, or they can also be produced by reduction of corresponding formazane dyestuffs of formula I which contain a nitro group instead of the characteristic ##STR12## group. These nitroformazane dyestuffs can be produced by the usual diazotisation, coupling and metallisation methods.
As suitable agents introducing the fibre reactive radical Y in this embodiment of the invention, naturally the halides or anhydrides of the carboxylic acids and sulphonic acids metioned in the discussion of Y as well as isocyanates and isothiocyanates or halogen triazines and diazines containing more than one mobile halogen atom are used.
The reaction of the aminoformazane dyestuffs of formula VIII with the compound introducimg the fibre reactive acyl radical Y is performed in the usual way, advantageously in aqueous medium, optionally in the presence of inert organic solvents which can easily be removed such as low aliphatic ketones, e.g. acetone, and preferably in the presence of mineral acid buffering agents such as sodium or potassium carbonate, sodium or potassium hydroxide, di- or tri-sodium phosphate or di- or tri-potassium phosphate, sodium or potassium acetate or tertiary nitrogen bases such as pyridine.
Particularly valuable, easily accessible, heavy metal-containing, fiber-reactive formazane dyestuffs according to the invention which are distinguished by good dyeing properties are derived from formazane dyestuffs of formula I containing at least 2 and at most 6, preferably 2 to 4, sulphonic acid groups, in which Me is cooper or nickel, A and R are radicals of the benzene series, R' is hydrogen, X is oxygen and Y is a fibre reactive acyl radical, particularly the radical of an aromatic, 6-membered nitrogen heterocycle.
These particularly interesting fiber-reactive dyestuffs are obtained, e.g. by using the starting components having fibre reactive substituents mentioned above, or advantageously, by a modification of the process according to the invention, by subsequent reaction of dyestuffs containing acylatable amino groups of the general formula VIII with acylating agents introducing fibre reactive radicals Y, particularly with poly-N-heterocycles containing more than one mobile chlorine atom such as cyanuric chloride or its mono-reaction products, or tetrachloropyrimidine, with carboxylic acid chlorides having halogen polyazine rings such as 2,4-dichloropyrimidine-5- or -6-carboxylic acid chloride as well as their mono-reaction product.
The fiber-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyestuffs of formula I obtainable according to the invention are worked up and isolated by the usual methods. Optionally, the crude products are purified by dissolving and recrystallising.
The fiber-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyestuffs of formula I obtainable according to the invention are used for the dyeing and printing of textile and synthetic materials of all types. Heavy metal-containing formazane dyestuffs according to the invention containing no water solubilising groups can be used, e.g. for the dyeing of synthetic materials of all types such as lakes, varnishes or spinning masses made of acetyl cellulose or synthetic polyamides.
The fiber-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyestuffs according to the invention which contain water solubilising groups such as carboxylic acid or phosphonic acid and, mainly, sulphonic acid groups, are dark powders which, in the form of their alkali metal salts, have very good water solubility. They are suitable for the dyeing and printing of leather, paper and fibre material, particularly natural or synthetic polypeptide fibre material such as wool, silk, synthetic polyamide and polyurethane fibres. Dyestuffs according to the invention which contain a sulphonic acid group, preferably a lower alkylsulphonyl or a sulphamoyl group, have very good affinity to wool and material which is dyed similarly thereto and, in many cases, are drawn onto such materials completely even from a neutral to weakly acid bath. Optionally, the water solubility of such dyestuffs is increased by the admixture of anion active or nonionogenic wetting and dispersing agents or of reducing agents.
For the dyeing of protein fibre material, the new fiber-reactive dyestuffs are preferably used in a weakly acid, e.g. weakly acetic acid bath. Often, the addition of compounds containing basic nitrogen, e.g. polyquarternary ammonium compounds, is indicated. Advantageously the dyeing is subjected to an aftertreatment with mineral acid binding agents such as ammonia or hexamethylenetetramine.
The new fiber-reactive formazane dyestuffs of formula I obtainable according to the invention are suitable, in particular, for the dyeing and printing of natural and regenerated cellulose material such as staple fibre, jute, ramie, hemp and, chiefly, cotton. To attain sufficient solubility, in this case the dyestuffs should generally contain at least 2, preferably 3 to 4, water solubilising, salt-forming groups which dissociate acid in water such as sulphonic acid or carboxyl groups.
These materials are dyed with the reactive formazane dyestuffs obtainable according to the invention by the known methods. Cellulose material is impregnated or printed at a low temperature, e.g. at 20.degree. to 50.degree. C with the optionally thickened dyestuff solution and then the dyestuff is fixed by treatment with acid binding agents. As such, e.g. sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, di- and tri-sodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide solution and, at temperatures over 50.degree. C, also potassium or sodium bicarbonate are used. Instead of subjecting the impregnated material to an alkaline after-treatment, in many cases the acid binding agent, preferably in the form of alkali carbonates, can also be added to the impregnation liquors or printing pastes and then the dyeing can be developed by short heating or steaming at temperatures of over 100.degree. C to 160.degree. or by storing for a longer time at room temperature. The addition of hydrotropic agents to the printing pastes and impregnating liquors is advantageous in this process, e.g. the addition of urea in amounts of 10 to 200g per liter dyeing agent.
In addition, cellulose material can be dyed with dyestuffs according to the invention by the exhaustion process by introducing the cellulose to be dyed into the dyebath having a long liquor ratio and slightly raised temperature and which contains an acid binding agent and, optionally, also neutral salts such as sodium chloride or sodium sulphate, gradually heating the dyebath to a temperature of 40.degree. to 100.degree. C and completing the dyeing process at this temperature. If desired, the neutral salts which accelerate the drawing of the dyestuff, can be added to the bath only after it has attained the actual dyeing temperature.
The new fiber-reactive dyestuffs are bound to the fibre by the treatment with acid binding agents, and cellulose dyeings in particular have excellent wet fastness after soaping to remove unfixed dyestuff.
The dyestuffs according to the invention are distinguished by their great colour strength and, chiefly by their pure shades. The strongly coloured dyeings obtained with the dyestuffs according to the invention are pure blue to pure green. They are distinguished particularly by their very good fastness to light and rubbing and by excellent wet fastness properties such as good fastness to washing, alkali, milling and perspiration. In addition the dyeings are level and have unexpectedly great stability to boiling.

Z may have, in the dye molecule, also different ones of those meanings, however.
The fiber-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyes of formula Ia can be prepared by known per se methods and processes as described above; also the working-up and isolation of the fiber-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyes is accomplished in accordance with conventional methods. Where desirable, the crude products are purified by dissolving and allowing to crystallize.
Especially valuable, easily accessible fibre-reactive heavy metal-containing formazane dyes according to the invention, which are distinguished by good dyeing properties, are derived from formazane dyes of formula Ia wherein
A denotes an o-phenylene radical optionally substituted by a sulphonic acid group and/or halogen, which radical, if desired, may be further substituted by lower alkyl, nitro or cyano or a sulphonic acid-, a lower alkyl-sulphonyl-, sulphamoyl-, N-mono- or N,N-di-lower-alkyl-sulphonic-acid-amide group,

The fibre-reactive heavy metal-containing formazane dyes of formula Ia obtainable according to the invention find use for dyeing and printing textile and synthetic materials of whatever kind. Heavy metal-containing formazane dyes according to the invention, which do not contain any water-solubilizing groups, may be used, for example, for dyeing synthetic materials of whatever kind, such as lacquers, varnished or spinning compositions from acetyl cellulose or synthetic polyamides.
The heavy metal-containing formazane dyes according to the invention, which contain water-solubilizing groups, such as e.g. carboxylic acid groups or phosphonic acid groups, and particularly sulphonic acid groups, constitute dark powders which in the form of their alkali metal salts are very well soluble in water. They are suitable for dyeing and printing leather, paper and fibrous material, particularly fibrous material made from natural or synthetic polypeptides, such as e.g. wool, silk, synthetic polyamide and polyurethane fibres. Dyes according to the invention, which contain a sulphonic acid group, preferably a lower alkylsulphonyl- or a sulphamoyl group, exhibit a very good affinity towards wool and material exhibiting a similar dyeing behaviour, and in many cases are absorbed completely already from a neutral to weakly acid bath. Where desirable, the water-solubility of such dyes is further increased by admixing therewith anion-active or non-ionogenic wetting or dispersing agents or diluting agents.
For dyeing proteinic fiber material, the new fiber-reactive dyes preferably are employed in a weakly acid, e.g. weakly acetic-acid bath. Frequently the additions of compounds containing basic nitrogen, e.g. of polyquaternary ammonium compounds, is advisable. Due to the very high fixing rate of the new fiber-reactive dyes of formula Ia an alkaline after-treatment of the dyeings and prints on proteinic fiber material obtained therewith for improving their wet fastness properties can be dispensed with.
The new fibre-reactive formazane dyes of formula I obtainable according to the invention are particularly suitable for dyeing or printing natural or regenerated cellulose material, such as staple rayon, jute, ramie, hemp and particularly cotton. For obtaining sufficient solubility, the dyes in this case should contain in general at least 2, preferably 3 to 4, salt-forming, water-solubilizing groups exhibiting acid dissociation in water, such as sulphonic acid or carboxyl groups.
These materials are dyed in accordance with known methods with the fibre-reactive formazane dyes obtainable according to the invention. The cellulose material is impregnated or printed at a low temperature, e.g. at 20.degree. to 50.degree. C with the, optionally thickened, dye solution, and the dye is then fixed by treatment with acid-binding agents. Examples of such agents which may be employed are sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, di- and tri-sodium phosphate, caustic soda solution, also potassium- or sodium bicarbonate when using temperatures above 50.degree. C. Instead of subjecting the impregnated materials to an alkaline aftertreatment, the acid-binding agent, preferably in the form of alkali carbonates, in many cases can be added already to the impregnating liquors or printing pastes, and development of the dyeing can then be effected by short heating or steaming at temperatures above 100.degree. C to 160.degree. C or by storing at room temperature for a relatively extended period of time. The addition of hydrotropic agents to the printing pastes and impregnating liquors is advantageous in this process, e.g. the addition of urea in amounts of 10 to 200 g per liter of dye liquor.
Moreover, cellulose material can be dyed with dyes according to the invention by the exhaustion method by introducing the cellulose to be dyed into the dyeing bath which contains an acid-binding agent and, if desired, also neutral salts, such as e.g. sodium chloride or sodium sulphate, with using a dilute dye liquor and a slightly elevated temperature, gradually heating the dyeing bath to a temperature of 40.degree. to 100.degree. C, and bringing the dyeing process to its end at this temperature. If desired, the neutral salts which accelerate the exhaustion of the dye also may be added to the bath only after the dyeing temperature proper has been reached.
By the treatment with acid-binding agents, the new formazane dyes are chemically bonded to the fibre, and particularly the cellulose dyeings, after soaping to remove any unfixed dye, exhibit excellent fastness to wetting.
The fibre-reactive dyes according to the invention of formula Ia are distinguished by their colour intensity, by their pure colour tones and particularly by their high reactivity. What is surprising in this connection is that, in spite of the high reactivity of the new dyes, the dyed and printed preparations obtainable therewith are very stable, and further that the dyeings and printings produced therewith exhibit a good stability, particularly when subjected to acid- and alkali hydrolysis. The intensely coloured dyeings produced with the dyes according to the invention are violet, blue to green. They further are distinguished by very good fastness to light and rubbing and excellent fastnesses to wetting, such as e.g. good fastnesses to washing, alkali, milling and perspiration. Moreover, the dyeings are uniform and exhibit an unexpectedly high fastness to injuring effects due to boiling. Finally, reactive dyes according to the invention exhibit a high fixing yield even at low temperatures (10.degree.-50.degree. C); any unfixed dye can be washed out very easily, what is one of the essential prerequisites for good fastnesses to wetting, and the dyeings are stable to the conventional synthetic resin finishes.
Furthermore, there are obtained, according to another aspect, fiber-reactive formazane dyes which also contain as fiber-reactive radical a pyrimidyl radical bearing at least one mobile fluorine atom. These dyes correspond to the general formula Ib ##STR30## They are distinguished by pure colour tones and good overall fastnesses of the dyeings or printings produced therewith on organic materials, especially such organic materials made from cellulose or polyamide. In this formula Ib:
R denotes a monovalent organic radical, particularly a nucleophilic radical, for example a monovalent aromatic-carbocyclic or aromatic-heterocyclic radical, a nitro, cyano, carbacyl or carbalkoxy group; preferably an aromatic-carbocyclic radical optionally substituted by sulphonic acid groups and/or halogen and lower alkyl groups;
A and B each denote the radical of a diazo component, particularly of the aromatic-carbocyclic or aromatic-heterocyclic series, especially an one- or dinuclear aromatic-carbocyclic radical optionally substituted by halogen, lower alkyl, sulphamoyl, lower alkylsulphonyl, nitro or the sulphonic acid group and preferably a phenyl radical which is substituted by a sulphonic acid group, which radicals contain X.sub.1 resp. X.sub.2 in the o-position to the nitrogen bond;
X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 each denote a metal-binding substituent, preferably both X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 represent O, or both X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 represent --COO-- or X.sub.1 is --COO-- and X.sub.2 is O;
Z denotes a salt-forming, water-solubilizing group exhibiting acid dissociation in water, e.g. a phosphonic acid group or an acylated sulphamide group, preferably a group (--X.sub.1 O.sup.-M.sup.+M) wherein X.sub.1 represents --SO.sub.2 -- or --CO-- and M.sup.+ represents the equivalent of a colorless cation dissociable in water which Z optionally also having, in the dye molecule, different ones of those meanings;
Y denotes a pyrimidyl group which includes at least one mobile fluorine atom and may be still further substituted;
R' denotes hydrogen or a lower alkyl group especially the methyl and ethyl group;
Me denotes a heavy metal of atomic numbers 24-29, preferably copper, or also nickel, cobalt or chromium;
m denotes a positive integer from 1 to 5, preferably 2 to 4, and
n denotes a positive integer not exceeding 2, preferably 1.
NR'-Y' must be linked to a carbon atom of
a. B when X.sub.1 is --COO-- and X.sub.2 is O,
b. A or B when both X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are O, and
c. A, B or R when both X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are --COO--.
The pyrimidyl group Y' and also the pyrimidines from which this pyrimidyl group is derived signifies in this case the same as mentioned above.
The new formazane dyes of formula Ib according to the invention are obtained by various methods. One method consists in that a metal-containing formazan dye of the formula Iab: ##STR31## in which the symbols have the meaning given in formula Ib, is reacted with a pyrimidine compound which includes more than one mobile fluorine atom, and may be still further substituted.
The starting substances employed according to the invention of formula Iab are obtained by known per se methods, for example by coupling 1 mol of an o-hydroxy-aryldiazonium compound with an .alpha.-aryl-.alpha.-acylacetic ester, e.g. with an .alpha.-phenyl-.alpha.-formylacetic-acid-alkyl ester, thereafter saponifying the carbalkoxy group to the carboxyl group in an alkaline medium, and subjecting to the action of a second molecule of the same or a different o-carboxy- or o-hydroxyaryldiazonium compound, with selecting the starting substances so that at least one of them includes an acylatable amino group or a substituent convertible into an acylatable amino group. Suitably, the initial product contains at least one acylamino group, either in the radical of one or the other diazo component A or B or in the monovalent organic radical R, particularly where R is represented by an aryl radical. After metallization with a metal-introducing agent, this acylamino group is then saponified in an alkaline medium to form a acylatable amino group. As compounds which introduce the fiber-reactive radical Y the above named pyrimidines are used which are known and can be prepared by known methods.
The conditions of the reaction of the metal-containing formazane dye of the formula Iab with the pyrimidines have to be selected so as to prevent premature exchange of mobile groups due to either an excessively high pH value of the reaction medium or an excessively high temperature. To this end, one employs for the reaction the aqueous solutions of the alkali metal salts of the metal-containing formazan dyes and carries out the reaction at as low temperatures and pH values as possible, if desirable in the presence of mineral acid-neutralizing agents, such as alkali metal salts of lower fatty acids, i.e. at pH values of about 2-7 and at temperatures of 0.degree. to about 60.degree. C., depending upon the stability of the pyrimidines resp. the mobility of the exchangeable substituent. The pyrimidines are employed in at least equimolecular amount, respectively where two acylatable amino groups are present, with a multiple amount corresponding to the number of such amino groups, in finely dispersed form, e.g. in the form of a suspension or emulsions, if desired with the aid of inert, easily removable organic solvents, such as lower ketones, e.g. acetone. The pyrimidine is allowed to act until the amino groups of formula Ia to be acylated are not any more detectable; a reaction where primary amino groups can be shown consists e.g. in diazotation and following coupling of the primary amino groups with the sodium salt of 2-naphthol-3,6-disulphonic acid.
The isolation and drying of the formazane dyes according to the invention must likewise be done with care, e.g. by salting out the alkali metal salts with sodium chloride in weakly acid solution filtering and by drying at moderately elevated temperature preferably in a vacuum.
Another method for the preparation of the new fibre-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyes of formula Ib consists in that a dye of the general formula IIb: ##STR32## wherein R, A, B, Y, Z, R', m and n have the meanings given under formula Ib, and X.sub.1 H and X.sub.2 H denotes metallizable groups especially the hydroxyl- or carboxyl group is reacted with an agent introducing heavy metal Me of atomic numbers 24-29. Advantageously, one employs such dyes of formula IIb, which as group Y contains a 2,6-difluoro-pyrimidyl-4- or a 2,6-difluoro-5-chloro-pyrimidyl-4-radical.
The metal-free dyes of formula IIb are prepared, for example, from components which contain at least one substituent --NR'--Y' as defined, with taking care of the precautional provisions indicated in the first-mentioned method with a view to the mobility of critical substituents, or one introduces the pyrimidyl radical as defined into dyes which include an acylatable amino group, or a group convertible into an acylatable amino group, the introduction in the latter case being carried out after conversion into the acylatable amino group.
For the metallization of the metal-free dyes of the general formula IIb, the usual metal-delivering agents are employed, e.g. mineral acid salts of cobalt, nickel or chromium, preferably of copper, suitably in the presence of alkyli metal salts of lower fatty acids or of polybasic oxygen acids of phosphorus as mineral acid-neutralizing agents, at moderately high temperatures and pH values of about 1-7, in order to minimize premature exchange of mobile substituents. In performing the isolation and drying of the dyes, the precautional provisions mentioned under the 1st method must likewise be taken care of.
The starting materials of formulae Iab and IIb are obtained, for example, in that a hydrazone derived from an aromatic aldehyde and o-carboxyarylhydrazine is coupled with an o-carboxy-, 0-hydroxy- or o-acyloxyaryldiazonium compound, with the components again being selected so that the starting dye contains the acylatable amino group or a substituent convertible into an acylatable amino group, which in any suitable stage of the dye synthesis is converted into an acylatable amino group and acylated with the pyrimidine in accordance with the invention. Further, organic compounds containing activated methylene groups may also be coupled directly with 2 mols of such aryldiazo compounds as contain in the o-position to the diazo group a complex-forming group or a substituent convertible into a complex-forming group, e.g. an acetyloxy or tosyloxy group which prior to or during the metallization is saponified to the hydroxyl group, whereby the components again have to be selected so that in the metal-containing starting dye there is present an acylatable amino group resp. the starting dye to be metallized a group --NR'--Y according to the invention. Examples of suitable coupling components are: nitroalkanes, such as nitromethane, .alpha.-carbonylalkanes, such as acetone, methylethylketone, acetophenone, chloroacetophenones, nitroacetophenones, acylaminoacetophenones, acylacetic acid derivatives, such as acetoacetic ester, benzoylacetic ester, oxalacetic ester, derivatives of malonic acid, such as the esters or amides thereof, methylene compounds activated by cyano and carbonyl groups, such as the derivatives of cyanoacetic acid, furthermore azolium salts containing activated methyl groups, e.g. the 2,3-dimethylbenzothiazolium salts or the 1,2,3-trimethylbenzimidazolium salts.
A further third method for the preparation of fibre-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dyes of formula Ib according to the invention consists in that a metallizable compound of the general formula IIIb ##STR33## wherein X.sub.1 H denotes a metallizable group in the o-position to the nitrogen bond and R and A have the meanings given under formula IIb, is first treated with an agent introducing a heavy metal Me of atomic numbers 24 to 29 and then is coupled with an aryldiazonium compound, particularly an aryldiazonium compound which contains a 2,6-difluoro-pyrimidyl-4-radical or a 2,6-difluoro-5-chloro-pyrimidyl-4-radical, bonded through an amino group, which aryldiazonium compound contains a metallizable substituent X.sub.2 H in the o-position to the diazonium group, to form a fibre-reactive, heavy metal-containing formazane dye of formula Ib, with the starting components being selected so that they altogether contain at least 1 and no more than 5 groups Z and at least 1 group --NR'--Y' of the meaning given under formula Ib.
The starting compounds of formula IIIb are obtained e.g. by coupling 1 mol of an aryldiazonium compound with a methylene or methine compound which after coupling still contain on the methine C-atom a carboxyl group or a substituent convertible into a carboxyl group, such as e.g. a cyano- or carboxylic acid ester group.
The metallization and the second coupling may be carried out, if desired, also in one single process operation. Diazo and azo components which may be employed for this process have been defined already further above as starting substances for the first and second processes according to the invention.
The new heavy metal-containing formazane dyes of formula Ib are dark powders which in the form of their alkali metal salts are very well soluble in water. They are suitable for dyeing and printing organic materials, particularly natural and regenerated cellulose fibres, in red-brown, violet, blue-violet, blue, navy blue, green to gray tones. The cellulose material suitably is impregnated or printed at a low temperature, e.g. at 20.degree. - 50.degree. C., with the, optionally thickened, dye solution, and the dye is then fixed by treatment with acid-binding agents. Examples of such agents which may be employed are sodium carbonate, di- and trisodium phosphate, caustic soda solution, also sodium bicarbonate when using temperatures above 50.degree. C. Although the treatment with these agents may be carried out already at room temperature or at a slightly elevated temperature, such treatment often is carried out (advantageously after a mild intermediate drying of the impregnated or printed material) with better success at an elevated temperature, e.g. at 70.degree. to 160.degree. C. Instead of carrying out an alkaline aftertreatment, one may also, especially where hot fixing is employed, add the acid-binding agent, preferably in the form of alkalibicarbonates, already to the impregnating liquors or printing pastes, and then effect development of the dyeing by short heating or steaming at temperatures above 100.degree. C. - 160.degree. C. The addition of hydrotropic agents to the printing inks and impregnating liquors is advantageous in this procedure, e.g. the addition of urea in amounts of 10 - 200 g per liter of dye composition.
By the treatment with acid-binding agents, the new fibre-reactive dyes are chemically bonded to the fibre, and particularly the cellulose dyeings, after soaping to remove any unfixed dye, exhibit excellent fastness to wetting.
Natural and synthetic polyamide fibers suitably are dyed in an acid bath or are printed with neutral to weakly acid printing inks.
Due to the very high fixing rate of the new fiber-reactive dyes of formula Ib an alkaline after-treatment of the dyeings and prints on proteinic fiber material obtained therewith for improving their wet fastness properties can be dispensed with.
The fiber-reactive formazane dyes of formula Ib are distinguished by their colour intensity, by their pure colour tones and particularly by their high reactivity. What is surprising in this connection is that, in spite of the high reactivity of the new dyes, the dyeing and printing preparations obtainable therewith are very stable, and furthermore that the dyeings and printings produced therewith exhibit a good stability, particularly when subjected to acid- and alkali hydrolysis. The intensely coloured dyeings produced with the dyes according to the invention are further distinguished by very good fastness to light and rubbing and excellent fastnesses to wetting, such as e.g. good fastnesses to washing, alkali, milling and perspiration. Moreover, the dyeings are uniform and exhibit an unexpectedly high fastness to injuring effects due to boiling. Finally, reactive dyes according to the invention exhibit a high fixing yield even at low temperatures (10.degree.-50.degree. C.); any unfixed dye can be washed out very easily, what is one of the essential prerequisites for good fastnesses to wetting, and the dyeings are stable to the conventional synthetic resin finishes.
The invention is further illustrated by the following non-limitative examples in which temperatures are given in degrees Centigrade and all percentages are by weight unless expressly stated otherwise.
In these examples, formulae show the free acid forms of the dyestuffs, while in the production as described in the examples the sodium salts or if potassium chloride is used instead of sodium chloride in their preparation the potassium salts are obtained.
