A particular embodiment of the invention comprises dyestuffs which are free from acid groups and wherein at least one radical Z and/or D contains one or more basic, optionally cationic groups, and in particular those dyestuffs of the formula ##STR19## wherein D' is the radical of an aromatic or heterocyclic diazo component, M' is the radical --NR.sub.3 R.sub.4 or is the same as M and R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 each denote hydrogen or an aryl, aralkyl or cycloalkyl radical or an aliphatic radical, it being possible for R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 and for R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 to form a ring containing the amine nitrogen, and the Q each denote an optionally quaternised amino, hydrazino, etherified hydroxylamino or pyridine grouping which is bonded direct or via a bridge, and p and q each denote 1 or 2 and, when p and q are both 1, D' is a heterocyclic structure with a quaternised ring nitrogen atom, and wherein Z is an oxygen or sulphur atom or an imino group of the formula ##STR20## wherein R.sub.6 is hydrogen, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl or an aliphatic radical, which can be linked to R.sub.5 or to Q. The basic radical Q can also be bonded direct to the aromatic or heterocyclic nucleus of the diazo component. However, it can also be located on a substituent, for example an alkyl or alkoxy group of the diazo component, or linked to the dyestuff molecule via an alkylenecarbonyl, carbonyloxy, carbonylamino, alkylenecarbonyloxy, alkylcarbonylamino, alkylsulphonylamino or alkylenesulphonyl bridge. The basic group Q can also, conjointly with R.sub.5 and Z, form a ring, for example a piperazine radical.
Preferred dyestuffs are those of the indicated formula in which D is a radical of the benzene series or a heterocyclic radical which contains sulphur and/or nitrogen, as well as dyestuffs in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 denote hydrogen.
According to the invention, the basic dyestuffs are manufactured by coupling, condensation and quaternisation, coupling also comprising oxidative coupling.
For manufacture by coupling, the starting materials used are diazo components and coupling components, at least one component of which already contains a basic group. These basic groups are generally introduced prior to the coupling, by reacting an appropriate coupling component or diazo component, which possesses a reactive atom or a reactive group in place of the basic group, with amines, etherified hydroxylamines, hydrazines, pyridinecarboxylic acid chlorides or aminocarboxylic acid chlorides. Possible reactive groups are the same as are discussed further below in connection with manufacture by condensation. Thus, diazotised amines of the formula D-NH.sub.2 or ##STR21## are coupled with coupling components of the formula ##STR22## respectively, in which D, Y, Z.sub.1, Z.sub.2, Z.sub.3, D', R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, Z, q, p and Q have the abovementioned meanings and, if necessary, when Y is CN, the cyano group is converted to the -CONH.sub.2 group by using concentrated sulphuric acid.
Possible basic groups Q are, for example, those of the formula ##STR23## wherein R.sub.1 ' and R.sub.2 ' denote hydrogen or an alkyl radical, Especially with 1 - 4 C atoms, an aralkyl radical, especially a benzyl radical, or a cycloalkyl radical, especially a cyclohexyl radical, and R.sub.3 ' denotes hydrogen or an alkyl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl or alkoxy radical or an amino group and wherein the nitrogen atom, conjointly with R.sub.1 ' and/or R.sub.2 ' and/or R.sub.3 ', can form part of the heterocyclic ring. X is an anion and n is 1 or 2. These radicals can be derived, for example, from the amines, hydroxylamines and hydrazines mentioned further below in connection with the manufacture of the dyestuffs by condensation. The anions can be those of strong inorganic acids, for example chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate, sulphate, especially bisulphate, and phosphate, especially dihydrogen phosphate. However, anions of organic acids are also possible and these are understood as arylsulphonates, arylcarbonates, alkylsulphonates and alkylcarbonates, especially benzenesulphonate and its derivatives substituted by nitro, chlorine, bromine, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl groups and C.sub.1 - C.sub.4 alkoxy groups, C.sub.1 - C.sub.4 alkylsulphonates, anions of aliphatic carboxylic acid with 1 to 4 C atoms and benzoates, it being possible for the benzene ring to carry the same substituents as in the case of the benzenesulphonates. The anions of low-molecular alkylsulphuric acid half-esters, that is to say those containing 1 to 4 C atoms, are particularly important. In addition, the dyestuffs can be present as double salts with heavy metal halides, especially with zinc halides and cadmium halides.
Examples of such anions are: benzenesulphonate, p-toluenesulphonate, p-methoxybenzenesulphonate, methanesulphonate, ethanesulphonate, formate, acetate, chloroacetate, propionate, lactate, tartrate, benzoate, methylbenzoate, methylsulphate, ethylsulphate, ZnCl.sub.3.sup.-, CdCl.sub.3.sup.-, carbonate and bicarbonate.
Preferred basic radicals are those of the indicated formula in which R.sub.1 ', R.sub.2 ' and R.sub.3 ' are low-molecular alkyl radicals, especially methyl radicals.
The basic groups can also be pyridine radicals ##STR24## in which R.sub.4 ' is an alkyl radical, especially with 1 to 4 C atoms, a cycloalkyl radical, especially a cyclohexyl radical, or an aralkyl radical, especially a benzyl radical, and X has the same meaning as above.
The diazo components of the formula D-NH.sub.2 and, respectively, ##STR25## are derived, for example, from amines of the naphthalene series and especially from amines of the benzene series, such as have already been proposed above for the manufacture of disperse dyestuffs. The benzene nucleus can carry, in addition to the basic groups mentioned, the substituents already mentioned above in connection with the description of the disperse dyestuffs according to the invention.
Preferably, the diazo radical D is derived from amines which contain a heterocyclic five-membered ring with 2 or 3 hetero-atoms, the hetero-atoms above all being one nitrogen atom and one or two sulphur, oxygen or nitrogen atoms, and from aminobenzenes, above all negatively substituted aminobenzenes, in which the substituents have positive sigma values according to the Hammet equation, especially those of the formula ##STR26## wherein R.sub.1 ", R.sub.2 ", R.sub.3 ", R.sub.4 " and R.sub.5 " have the abovementioned meaning.
Diazo components which may be mentioned are, in addition to those of the benzene and the azobenzene series listed individually above, ethyl ethers of aminophenols, which contain one of the said basic groups Q in the .beta.-position of the ethoxy radical and are derived, for example, from 4-nitro-2-aminophenol, 4,6-dinitro-2-aminophenol, 6-nitro-4-chloro-3-aminophenol, 4-nitro-3-aminophenol, 5-methanesulphonyl-2-aminophenol, 5-nitro-2-aminothiophenol and 4-chloro-2-aminophenol-5-sulphonic acid N-methylamide, the groups Q being, in particular, trimethylammonium chloride, triethylammonium chloride, pyridinium chloride, N-methylpiperidinium chloride and N-methylmorpholinium chloride, as well as the radicals of the amines, hydrazines and hydroxylamines mentioned further below in connection with the manufacture by condensation, and condensation products of phenacyl chloride or phenacyl bromide with the same amines, hydrazines and hydroxylamines, such as phenacyltrimethylammonium chloride and phenacyltriethylammonium chloride.
However, the diazo components can also be derived from any desired heterocyclic amines which can be diazotised and which have no acid groups conferring solubility in water. These amines come, for example, from the thiazole, benzthiazole, naphthothiazole, isothiazole, benzisothiazole, imidazole, benzimidazole, thiadiazole, pyridine, quinoline, indazole, thiophene, selenazole, oxazole, oxadiazole, benzoxazole, pyrazole or triazole series. The heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen can be quaternised, possible anions being those mentioned in the description of the basic radicals.
Possible substituents of these amines, in addition to the basic groups Q, are: phenyl and phenylazo groups, in which the phenyl rings can also carry further substituents, such as chlorine, nitro radicals and alkyl, alkoxy and alkylmercapto radicals, each with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and halogen, especially bromine and chlorine, sulphamoyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano, thiocyano and nitro radicals, aralkyl radicals, especially benzyl radicals, cycloalkyl radicals, especially cyclohexyl radicals, as well as alkyl, alkoxy, alkylmercapto, alkylsulphonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkanoyl and N,N-dialkylsulphonamide groups, especially those radicals with 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
It is also possible, by means of condensation before or after the coupling, as discussed further below, to introduce basic groups into those diazo components and coupling components which contain a reactive atom or a reactive group, for example chlorine, bromine or sulphonic acid ester, alkyl sulphate, hydroxyl or amino groups.
Components with quaternisable nitrogen atoms can be treated with quaternising agents before or after coupling.
When a dyestuff of the formula ##STR27## or of the formula ##STR28## wherein X is an anion and R.sub.7 is an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aralkyl radical, is to be manufactured, a hydrazone of the formula ##STR29## wherein R.sub.7 has the same meaning as above, can be reacted with the abovementioned coupling components in the presence of oxidising agents.
When carrying out the manufacture by condensation, a dyestuff of the formula ##STR30## wherein D, Z.sub.1, Z.sub.2 and Z.sub.3 have the abovementioned meaning but wherein at least one radical Z and/or D contains, in place of a basic group, a reactive atom or a reactive radical which can react with an amine, hydrazine, etherified hydroxylamine or a carboxylic acid halide, or a dyestuff of the formula ##STR31## wherein D', R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, Z, p and q have the indicated meaning, but p + q must be at least 3, and V denotes a reactive atom or a reactive group, is reacted with an amine, hydrazine, etherified hydroxylamine, a pyridinecarboxylic acid chloride or an optionally quaternary aminocarboxylic acid chloride. Possible reactive atoms and groups are: halogen atoms, especially chlorine or bromine, benzenesulphonic acid ester groups, such as p-toluenesulphonates and benzenesulphonates, low-molecular alkylsulphonic acid ester groups and alkylsulphuric acid half-ester groups, that is to say those containing 1 to 4 C atoms, such as methyl sulphate and methanesulphonate, hydroxyl groups and amino groups.
Tertiary amines, hydrazines or hydroxylamines are preferably used for the condensation since cationic dyestuffs with quaternary nitrogen atoms are obtained direct in this way. When it is not subsequently exchanged, the anion of these dyestuffs corresponds to one of the reactive radicals V. The dyestuffs used for carrying out the manufacture by condensation are appropriately manufactured by coupling. The starting materials used for this purpose are compounds which correspond to the components used in the coupling process but which contain, in place of the basic groups, the indicated atoms or groups which can be split off.
The dyestuffs manufactured from these components by coupling are reacted, according to the invention, with pyridine or with optionally quaternary aminocarboxylic acid chlorides, amines, hydrazines or etherified hydroxylamines.
Examples of such compounds which may be mentioned are the following:
Amines: primary and secondary amines, such as methylamine, ethylamine, isopropylamine, methoxyethylamine, methoxypropylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, ethylphenylamine, diethanolamine, propanolamine, benzylamine, cyclohexylamine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine and morpholine, and tertiary amines such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, dimethylaniline, triethanolamine, pyridine, picoline, lutidine, N-methylpiperidine, N-methyl-piperazine, N-methylmorpholine, quinoline or pyrimidine;
hydrazines: N-methylhydrazine, N,N-dimethylhydrazine, N,N'-diethylhydrazine, N,N,N'-trimethylhydrazine, N,N,N,N'-tetramethylhydrazine, N-aminopiperidine, N-aminopyrrolidine and 1,5-diaza-bicyclo-[0.3.3]-octane; ##STR32##
The reaction of the dyestuff, which, for example, contains a halogen or a sulphatoalkylgroup, with the amine, hydrazine or etherified hydroxylamine is carried out in a neutral solvent, for example in chlorobenzene, alcohols or aqueous alcohol mixtures or dimethylformamide, or without a solvent, appropriately at elevated temperature in an excess of the hydroxylamine and, if appropriate, with the addition of catalysts, for example NaI.
The acylation of dyestuffs, containing a hydroxyl or amino group which can be acylated, with the said carboxylic acid chlorides is preferably carried out in the presence of acid-binding agents, such as alkali metal acetates, bicarbonates and carbonates and alkaline earth metal acetates, bicarbonates and carbonates or pyridine, in an organic or organic-aqueous medium according to methods which are in themselves known.
According to a further manufacturing process variant, those new dyestuffs which contain a quaternised nitrogen atom can also be obtained by quaternising the corresponding dyestuffs, which contain a non-quaternised amino, hydrazino or etherified hydroxylamino group or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group, by treatment with alkylating agents, Examples of such alkylating or quaternising agents which can be used are: esters of strong mineral acids, especially low-molecular sulphuric acid esters, or of organic sulphonic acids, for example dimethyl sulphate, diethyl sulphate, alkyl halides, for example methyl chloride, methyl bromide or methyl iodide, aralkyl halides, for example benzyl chloride, esters of low-molecular alkanesulphonic acids, that is to say of those containing 1 to 4 C atoms, such as, for example, methyl esters of methanesulphonic acid, ethanesulphonic acid or butanesulphonic acid, and esters of benzenesulphonic acids which can contain additional substituents, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl esters of benzenesulphonic acid, of 2- or 4-methylbenzenesulphonic acid, of 4-chlorobenzenesulphonic acid or of 3- or 4-nitrobenzenesulphonic acid.
The alkylation is appropriately carried out by warming in an inert organic solvent, for example hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethane, chlorobenzene or o-dichlorobenzene, or nitrohydrocarbons, such as nitromethane, nitrobenzene or nitronaphthalene. Acid anhydrides, acid amides or nitriles, such as acetic anhydride, dimethylformamide or acetonitrile, or dimethylsulphoxide can also be used as solvents for the alkylation. It is also possible to use a large excess of alkylating agent in place of a solvent. In this case, however, care must be taken that the mixture does not heat up excessively, since the reaction is highly exothermic. Nevertheless, it is necessary in most cases, and in particular in the presence of organic solvents, to warm the reaction mixture from outside in order to start the reaction. In particular cases, the alkylation can also be carried out in an aqueous medium or using an alcohol, if necessary in the presence of small amounts of potassium iodide.
If it is necessary to purify the dyestuff salts, the purification is appropriately carried out by dissolving the salt in water, it being possible to filter off any unreacted starting dyestuff as an insoluble residue. The dyestuff can be separated out from the aqueous solution again by adding water-soluble salts, for example sodium chloride.
The resulting dyestuff salts can contain the anions introduced according to the process. However, these can also subsequently be replaced by other anions.
According to a further preferred embodiment, the dyestuffs of the formula ##STR33## can also contain, when they are free from basic groups, acid substituents which confer solubility in water, especially sulphonic acid groups, in the groups Z.sub.1, Z.sub.2, Z.sub.3, and/or D, which in other respects have the same meaning as above.
These water-soluble azo dyestuffs can contain one or more than one fibre-reactive radical, such as, for example, a halogenotriazine radical, in the molecule. In addition to being substituted by groups which confer solubility in water, such as, for example, sulphonic acid groups, carboxyl groups or quaternised amino groups, the azo dyestuffs can also be substituted, both in the radical of the diazo component and in the radical of the coupling component, in the customary manner by other atoms or groups of atoms, for example by halogen atoms or by hydroxyl, amino, alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, acylamino, cyano, acyl, carboalkoxy, acyloxy or nitro groups and the like. If the radical of the diazo component contains a complex-forming group, such as a hydroxyl, amino or carboxyl group, or an alkoxy group, such as, for example, a methoxy group, in the ortho-position relative to the azo bridge, the azo dyestuffs of the formula (1) can optionally be converted, before or after the introduction of fibre-reactive radicals, into their heavy metal complexes.
Examples of complex-forming metals which can be used are iron, manganese, nickel, copper, cobalt and chromium. The heavy metal complexes can contain one or two molecules of azo dyestuffs of the formula (1) bonded to a metal atom (1:1-complexes and 1:2-complexes respectively). However, in 1:2-complexes it is also possible for one of the two ligand molecules to be an azo dyestuff which does not correspond to the formula (1), that is to say, for example, a compound of the azobenzene type, which contains corresponding complex-forming groups.
Possible reactive radicals are the groupings capable of reaction with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose or with the amino groups of polyamides, with the formation of a covalent chemical bond.
Such a grouping is, in particular, a low molecular alkanoyl or alkylsulphonyl radical, which is substituted by an atom which can be split off or by a group which can be split off, a low molecular alkenoyl or alkenesulphonyl radical, which is optionally substituted by an atom which can be split off or by a group which can be split off, a carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical which contains 4, 5 or 6 rings is bonded via a carbonyl or sulphonyl group and is substituted by an atom which can be split off or by a group which can be split off, or a triazine or pyrimidine radical which is bonded direct via a carbon atom and is substituted by an atom which can be split off or by a group which can be split off, or contains such a radical.
Preferably, the reactive radical is a six-membered heterocyclic radical which contains halogen atoms and which is bonded via an amino group, such as a halogenotriazine or halogenopyrimidine radical or an aliphatic acyl radical.
In particular, the fibre-reactive radical is a radical of the formula --N(R.sub.1)--Z, wherein R.sub.1 is a low molecular alkyl radical or preferably a hydrogen atom and Z is a 4,6-dihalogeno-s-triazin-2-yl radical, a 4-halogeno-6-amino-(alkoxy, phenoxy, alkylmercapto or arymercapto)-s-triazin-2-yl radical or an .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl radical or an .alpha.-bromoacryloyl radical. In this context low molecular alkyl radicals are to be understood as alkyl radicals with up to four carbon atoms, such as the methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or butyl radical.
The invention relates in particular to water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula ##STR34## wherein D is the radical of a diazo component, X.sub.1 is an amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylmercapto, arylmercapto or aralkyloxy group or a heterocyclic radical and D and/or X.sub.1 contain at least one sulphonic acid group.
A special group of water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula (2) are those of the formula ##STR35## wherein D is a benzene or naphthalene radical which contains one or two sulphonic acid groups and optionally contains, as further substituents, low molecular alkyl or alkoxy groups, halogen atoms or hydroxyl, nitro, amino, carboxyl, acyl, acyloxy, acylamino, alkylsulphonyl, arylsulphonyl, aminosulphonyl, cyano or alkoxycarbonyl groups, and wherein R is a sulphoaryl radical.
Water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula (1), as well as their heavy metal complexes, which contain a fibre-reactive radical in the radical of the diazo component and/or in the radical of the coupling component are of particular interest.
Dyestuffs of this type which may above all be mentioned are:
1. Water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula ##STR36## wherein Y is an aliphatic fibre-reactive acyl radical, n is 1 or 2, m is 0, 1 or 2 and the benzene ring A can be further substituted by halogen, low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro or carboxyl and the benzene ring B can be further substituted by low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro, carboxyl or acylamino, especially water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula (4), wherein Y is an .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl radical or an .alpha.-bromoacryloyl radical and the benzene ring B optionally contains a further .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionylamino group or .alpha.-bromoacryloylamino group; and
2. water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula (4), wherein Y is a heterocyclic fibre-reactive radical, n is 1 or 2, m is 0, 1 or 2 and the benzene ring A can be further substituted by halogen, low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro or carboxyl and the benzene ring B can be further substituted by low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro, carboxy or acylamino, especially water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula (4), wherein Y is a 4,6-dihalogeno-s-triazin-2-yl radical or a 4-halogeno-6-amino-(alkoxy, phenoxy or alkylmercapto)-s-triazin-2-yl radical and the benzene ring B optionally contains a further 4,6-dihalogeno-s-triazin-2-yl radical or 4-halogeno-6-amino-(alkoxy, phenoxy, alkylmercapto or arylmercapto)-s-triazin-2-yl radical.
Examples of water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the type mentioned are the dyestuffs of the formulae ##STR37##
Further important compounds are water-soluble azo compounds of the formula (1) which contain a fibre-reactive radical both in the diazo component and in the coupling component, such as, for example, compounds of the formula (4) which, in addition to the reactive radical Y, contain a further reactive radical in the benzene radical B.
The invention also relates to a process for the manufacture of the water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula (1), which is characterised in that a diazo component of the formula
wherein D has the meaning indicated in the explanation for formula (1), is coupled with a coupling component of the formula ##STR38## wherein Z.sub.1 to Z.sub.3 have the meanings indicated in the explanation for formula (1), and that the resulting azo dyestuff is optionally metallised with an agent which is a source of a heavy metal and/or acylated with an acylating agent.
A process which is characterised in that a diazo component of the formula
wherein D has the abovementioned meaning, is coupled with a coupling component of the formula ##STR39## wherein Z.sub.2 is an amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylmercapto, arylmercapto or aralkyloxy group or a heterocyclic radical, D and/or Z.sub.2 containing at least one sulphonic acid group, is preferred.
The radical of the diazo component D in formula (5) is preferably a benzene or naphthalene radical, which contains one or two sulphonic acid groups and optionally contains, as further substituents, low molecular alkyl or alkoxy groups, halogen atoms or hydroxyl, nitro, amino, carboxyl, acyl, acyloxy, acylamino, alkylsulphonyl, arylsulphonyl, aminosulphonyl, cyano or alkoxycarbonyl groups.
Preferred coupling components are coupling components of the formula ##STR40## wherein R is a sulphoaryl radical.
In a preferred embodiment, diazo components and/or coupling components which contain fibre-reactive radicals are used as the starting material.
The particular water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula (1) are manufactured by coupling a diazo component of the formula ##STR41## wherein Y is an aliphatic fibre-reactive acyl radical, n is 1 or 2 and the benzene ring A can be further substituted by halogen, low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro or carboxyl, with a coupling component of the formula ##STR42## wherein m is 0, 1 or 2 and the benzene ring B can be further substituted by low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro, carboxyl or acylamino.
The azo dyestuffs of the formula (4) can also be obtained by coupling a diazo component of the formula (9), wherein Y is a hydrogen atom or an acyl radical and n and A have the indicated meanings, with a coupling component of the formula (10), wherein n is 0, 1 or 2 and the benzene ring B can be further substituted by low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro, carboxyl, acylamino or amino, and reacting the resulting azo dyestuff, if appropriate after splitting off the acyl radical Y by saponification, with an aliphatic fibre-reactive acylating agent in order to introduce one aliphatic fibre-reactive acyl radical or, if the benzene ring B contains an amino group which can be acylated, two aliphatic fibre-reactive acyl radicals.
.alpha.,.beta.-Dibromopropionyl halide and .alpha.-bromoacryloyl halide are important aliphatic fibre-reactive acylating agents.
A process variant in which a diazo component of the formula (9), wherein Y is an .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl radical or an .alpha.-bromoacryloyl radical and n and A have the indicated meanings, is coupled with a coupling component of the formula (10), wherein n and B have the abovementioned meanings and the benzene ring B optionally contains a further .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionylamino group or .alpha.-bromoacryloylamino group, is also important.
The procedure employed in order to obtain the water-soluble azo dyestuffs of the formula (4) which contain a heterocyclic fibre-reactive radical, which are also important, is to couple a diazo component of the formula ##STR43## wherein Y is a heterocyclic fibre-reactive radical, n is 1 or 2 and the benzene ring A can be further substituted by halogen, low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro or carboxyl, with a coupling component of the formula ##STR44## wherein m is 0, 1 or 2 and the benzene ring B can be further substituted by low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro, carboxyl or acylamino, or to couple a diazo component of the formula (9), wherein Y is a hydrogen atom or an acyl radical and n and A have the abovementioned meanings, with a coupling component of the formula (10), wherein m is 0, 1 or 2 and the benzene ring B can be further substituted by low molecular alkyl or alkoxy, nitro, carboxyl, acylamino or amino, and to react the resulting azo dyestuff, if appropriate after splitting off the acyl radical Y by saponification, with a heterocyclic fibre-reactive acylating agent in order to introduce one heterocyclic fibre-reactive radical or, if the benzene ring B contains an amino group which can be acylated, two heterocyclic fibre-reactive radicals.
The heterocyclic fibre-reactive acylating agent which can be used is, in particular, a 2,4,6-trihalogeno-s-triazine or a 2,4-dihalogeno-6-amino-(alkoxy, phenoxy, alkylmercapto or arylmercapto)-s-triazine.
Further important fibre-reactive azo dyestuffs are obtained when a diazo component of the formula (9), wherein Y is a 4,6-dihalogeno-s-triazin-2-yl radical or a 4-halogeno-6-amino-(alkoxy, phenoxy, alkylmercapto or arylmercapto)-s-triazin-2-yl radical and n and A have the abovementioned meanings, is coupled with a coupling component of the formula (10), wherein m and B have the abovementioned meanings and the benzene ring B optionally contains a further 4,6-dihalogeno-s-triazin-2-yl-amino group or 4-halogeno-6-amino-(alkoxy, phenoxy, alkylmercapto or arylmercapto)-s-triazin-2-yl-amino group.
Those fibre-reactive azo dyestuffs which contain one or more monohalogeno-s-triazine radicals in the molecule are also obtained according to the manufacturing procedures described above by using a 2,4,6-trihalogeno-s-triazine as the heterocyclic fibre-reactive acylating agent or by using diazo components and/or coupling components which contain a 4,6-dihalogeno-s-triazin-2-yl radical and replacing a halogen atom in the azo dyestuff thus obtained, which contains one or two fibre-reactive 4,6-dihalogeno-3-triazin-2-yl radicals, by an amino, alkoxy, phenoxy, alkylmercapto or arylmercapto group by reaction with ammonia, an amine, alcohol, phenol or mercaptan.
Those water-soluble azo dyestuff which contain one or two .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl radicals and which are obtained according to the process can be treated with agents which split off hydrogen halide, such as, for example, sodium hydroxide, in order to convert the .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl radical or radicals into .alpha.-bromoacryloyl radicals.
Depending on the starting materials selected, it is also possible, according to the process methods described above, to manufacture bis-reactive dyestuffs of the formula (1) which contain two different fibre-reactive radicals, for example an .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl radical and a 4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl radical.
The diazotisation is carried out according to methods which are in themselves known, for example with the aid of hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite. The coupling with the aminopyridine is also carried out according to methods which are in themselves known, in an acid to weakly alkaline medium.
The reaction with the agent which is a source of a heavy metal is carried out according to customary processes and, depending on the solubility of the components, in various solvents, such as, for example, water, ethanol, formamide, glycol ethers, pyridine and the like, if appropriate at elevated temperature, in a weakly acid to alkaline medium.
The diazo compounds of the amines which follow may be mentioned as diazo components which can be used for the manufacture of the water-soluble azo compounds of the formula (1) and of the corresponding heavy-metal complexes: aminobenzene, 1-amino-4-chlorobenzene, 1-amino-4-bromobenzene, 1-amino-4-methylbenzene, 1-amino-2-nitrobenzene, 1-amino-4-nitrobenzene, 1-amino-4-cyanobenzene, 1-amino-2,5-dicyanobenzene, 1-amino-4-methylsulphonylbenzene, 1-amino-4-carbalkoxybenzene, 1-amino-2,4-dichlorobenzene, 1-amino-2,4-dibromobenzene, 1-amino-2-methyl-4-chlorobenzene, 1-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-4-chlorobenzene, 1-amino-2-cyano-4-chlorobenzene, 1-amino-2-carbomethoxy-4-chlorobenzene, 1-amino-2-carbomethoxy-4-nitrobenzene, 1-amino-2-chloro-4-cyanobenzene, 1-amino-2-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, 1-amino-2-bromo-4-nitrobenzene, 1-amino-2-chloro-4-carboethoxybenzene, 1-amino-2-chloro-4-methylsulphonylbenzene, 1-amino-2-hydroxybenzene, 1-amino-4-nitrobenzene-2-sulphonic acid, 1-aminobenzene-2,5-disulphonic acid, 1-aminobenzene-2,4-disulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-carboxybenzene-2-sulphonic acid, 1-aminobenzene-2-, -3- or -4-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-chlorobenzene-2-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-3-chloro-4-nitrobenzene-6-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-6-hydroxybenzene-3-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-methylbenzene-6-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-ethoxybenzene-6-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-chloroacetylaminobenzene-2-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-.alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionylaminobenzene-2-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-chloroacetylaminobenzene-2,5-disulphonic acid, 1-amino-5-(.alpha.-bromoacryloylamino)-benzene-2-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-(.alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionylamino)-5-methoxybenzene-2-sulpho nic acid, 1-amino-4-(.alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionylamino)-5-methylbenzene-2-sulphon ic acid, 1-amino-4-methyl-5-(.alpha.-bromoacryloylamino)-benzene-2-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-(.alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionylamino)-benzene-2,6-disulphonic acid, 1-aminonaphthalene, 2-aminonaphthalene, 1-aminonaphthalene-4-sulphonic acid, 2-amino-naphthalene-6-sulphonic acid, 2-aminonaphthalene-1-sulphonic acid, 2-aminonaphthalene-6,8-, -4,8- or -5,7-disulphonic acid, 2-aminonaphthalene-4,6,8-trisulphonic acid, 2-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-6-sulphonic acid, 3-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-6-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6- or -4,6-disulphonic acid, 3-, 5-, 6- or 8-amino-quinoline, 8-amino-quinoline-5-sulphonic acid, 2-amino-benz-1,3-thiazole, 2-amino-6-nitrobenz-1,3-thiazole, 2-amino-6-methoxybenz-1,3-thiazole, 2-aminothiophene, 3-aminoindole, 3-aminoindazole, 3-aminopyridine, 2-amino-1,3-thiazole, 3-aminopyrazole, 4-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-pyrazole, 5-amino-3-phenyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole, and 4- or 5-amino-imidazole.
The water-soluble azo compounds of the formula (1), and the corresponding heavy metal complexes, which contain one or more fibre-reactive groups can be manufactured by using diazo components or coupling components which already contain reactive groups. In many cases, however, it is also possible subsequently to introduce reactive groups into the azo compounds. The introduction can be effected after coupling or after metallisation.
The reactive radical is preferably introduced by acylating corresponding diazo components which, in addition to the amino group to be diazotised, also contain a further amino group which can be acylated or a group which can be converted, for example by reduction or saponification, into an amino group which can be acylated, such as, for example, the nitro group or acetylamino group.
Examples which may be mentioned of corresponding diazo components which are suitable for introducing a fibre-reactive radical are: 1,3-diaminobenzene-4-sulphonic acid, 1,3-diaminobenzene-4,6-disulphonic acid, 1,4-diaminobenzene-2-sulphonic acid, 1,4-diaminobenzene-2,5- or -2,6-disulphonic acid and 1,3-diamino-4-methylbenzene-6-sulphonic acid and the monoacetyl derivatives thereof, 1-amino-4-nitrobenzene, 1-amino-2-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, 6-acetylamino-4-chloro-2-aminophenol, 6-nitro-4-methyl-2-aminophenol, 4-nitro-2-aminophenol-6-sulphonic acid, 6-acetylamino-1-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulphonic acid and others, for example compounds already mentioned in the list of possible diazo components.
Examples of possible aminoazo compounds into which, after coupling, the fibre-reactive radicals can be introduced are the coupling products of the abovementioned diazo components with pyridines of the formula (6).
If the reactive radical contains yet further substituents which can be split off easily, for example halogen atoms, such as in the dichlorotriazine radical, this radical can be condensed with compounds which contain a reactive hydrogen atom which is bonded via a hetero-atom and which is able to react with a removable substituent of the reactive radical, with the formation of a functional group which is bonded via the heteroatom. Thus, in particular, a chlorine atom in the dichlorotriazine radical can be exchanged, by reaction with ammonia, an amine, alcohol, phenol or mercaptan, for one of the corresponding radicals.
Instead of subsequently replacing a halogen atom in a dihalogenotriazine radical by an amino, alkoxy, aryloxy or mercapto group, it is also possible to use a dihalogenotriazine which already contains an amino, alkoxy, aryloxy or mercapto group bonded to the triazine ring as a fibre-reactive acylating agent.
Azo compounds of the formula (1), which possess a monohalogenotriazine radical which is bonded via an amino group and which contains, in addition to the halogen atom, an amino group bonded to the triazine ring, and in which a further fibre-reactive radical, especially a halogenotriazine radical, is bonded to this amino group, are also important. If the second, additional fibre-reactive radical is a halogenotriazine radical, it is preferably bonded to the first triazine radical via the radical of an alkylenediamine or arylenediamine. The fibre-reactive amino group which is present, in addition to the halogen atom, in the monohalogenotriazine radical thus preferably has the structure ##STR45## wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 denote a hydrogen atom or a low molecular alkyl radical, A denotes an alkylene or arylene radical, Z.sub.1 denotes a halogen atom, for example a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom, and Z.sub.2 denotes a halogen atom or an amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylmercapto or arylmercapto group. In this case low molecular alkyl radicals are to be understood as alkyl radicals with 1 to 4 carbon atoms. A can be an alkylene radical with a relatively short or relatively long chain, for example an ethylene radical or a hexylene radical, but A is preferably a benzene radical, for example a m- or p-phenylene radical, especially a phenylenesulphonic acid radical.
Possible alkoxy groups are radicals of primary, secondary or tertiary alcohols, such as, for example, the methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, or 1,1-dimethylethoxy group, radicals of etherified dialcohols, such as, for example, the ethoxyethoxy or methoxypropoxy group, radicals of unsaturated aliphatic alcohols, such as, for example, the allyloxy or propargyloxy group, or radicals of aliphatic alcohols which contain cyclic groups, such as, for example, the benzyloxy, furfuryloxy or tetrahydrofurfuryloxy group. Aryloxy groups which may be mentioned are radicals of phenols and naphthols, especially the phenoxy, sulphophenoxy or disulphophenoxy group. Methylmercapto and phenylmercapto groups are to be mentioned as alkylmercapto or arylmercapto groups.
In a particular embodiment Z.sub.2 is the same as the chromogenic radical of the compounds of the formula (1).
Possible acylating agents which contain a reactive radical are, in particular, the halides or anhydrides or organic acids which contain atoms or groups of atoms which can be exchanged easily.
The following may be mentioned as examples of acylating agents containing a fibre-reactive radical: cloroacetyl chloride or bromoacetyl chloride, .beta.-chloropropionyl chloride or .beta.-bromopropionyl chloride, .alpha.,.beta.-dichloropropionyl chloride or .alpha.,.beta.-dibromopropionyl chloride, chloromaleic acid anhydride, carbyl sulphate, acrylic chloride, 4,5-dichloro-1-phenylpyridazone-carboxylic or -sulphonic acid chloride, 4,5-dichloropyridazonepropionic acid chloride, 1,4-dichlorophthalazinecarboxylic or -sulphonic acid chloride, 2,3-dichloroquinoxalinecarboxylic or -sulphonic acid chloride, 2,4-dichloroquinazoline-carboxylic or -sulphonic acid chloride, 2-methanesulphonyl-4-chloro-6-methylpyrimidine, 2,4-bis-methanesulphonyl-6-methylpyrimidine, 2,4,6-tri- or 2,4,5,6-tetra-chloropyrimidine, 2,4,6-tri- or 2,4,5,6-tetra-bromopyrimidine, 2-methanesulphonyl-4,5-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine, 2,4,6-trichloro-5-bromopyrimidine, 2,4,5,6-tetrafluoropyrimidine, 4,6-difluoro-5-chloropyrimidine, 2,4,6-trifluoro-5-chloropyrimidine, 2,4,5-trifluoropyrimidine, 2,4,6-trichloro- (-tribromo- or -trifluoro) -1,3,5-triazines and also 4,6-dichloro- (-dibromo- or -difluoro)-1,3,5-triazines, which are substituted in the 2-position by an aryl or alkyl radical, for example a phenyl, methyl or ethyl radical, or by the radical of an aliphatic or aromatic mercapto compound, which is bonded via the sulphur atom, or of an aliphatic or aromatic hydroxy compound which is bonded via the oxygen atom, or especially by a NH.sub.2 group or by the radical of an aliphatic, heterocyclic or aromatic amino compound which is bonded via the nitrogen atom.
The acylations with the fibre-reactive acylating agents and the condensations with compounds which contain a reactive hydrogen atom bonded via a hetero-atom are appropriately carried out using acid-binding agents, such as sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide, and under conditions such that exchangeable halogen atoms, unsaturated bonds or the like still remain in the fibre-reactive radical in the finished product, that is to say the reactions are carried out, for example, in organic solvents or at relatively low temperatures in an aqueous medium.
The new dyestuffs, which are free from groups conferring solubility in water, belong to the category of disperse dyestuffs, such as are described, for example, in the Colour Index. They are outstandingly suitable for dyeing and printing leather, wool, silk and, above all, synthetic fibres, such as, for example, acrylic fibres or acrylonitrile fibres, polyacrylonitrile fibres and copolymers of acrylonitrile and other vinyl compounds, such as acrylic esters, acrylamides, vinylpyridine, vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride, copolymers of dicyanoethylene and vinyl acetate, as well as acrylonitrile block copolymers, fibres made of polyurethanes and polyolefines, such as base-modified, nickel-modified or unmodified polypropylene, polyamides, such as nylon 6, nylon 6,6 or nylon 12 and especially fibres made of cellulose triacetate and cellulose 21/2- acetate and of aromatic polyesters, such as those of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol or 1,4-dimethylcyclohexane and copolymers of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid and ethylene glycol.
Preferably, the dyeing of the said fibre materials with the azo dyestuffs according to the invention, which are sparingly soluble in water, is carried out from an aqueous dispersion. When the dyestsuffs according to the invention contain hydrophilic groups, such as, for example, one or more hydroxyalkyl, carbonamide or sulphonamide groups, in the diazo component, they are best applied from a solvent liquor. It is therefore appropriate finely to divide compounds of this category, which can be used as disperse dyestuffs, by grinding with textile auxiliaries, such as, for example, dispersing agents and possibly with further grinding auxiliaries. Subsequent drying gives dyestuff formulations consisting of the textile auxiliary and the dyestuff.
Examples which may be mentioned of dispersing agents of the non-ionic group which can be used advantageously are: addition products of 8 mols of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of p-tert.-octylphenol, of 15 mols and, respectively, 6 mols of ethylene oxide with castor oil and of 20 mols of ethylene oxide with the alcohol C.sub.16 H.sub.33 OH, ethylene oxide addition products with di-[.alpha.-phenylethyl]-phenols, polyethylene oxide tert.-dodecyl thioether, polyamine-polyglycol ethers or addition products of 15 and, respectively, 30 mols of ethylene oxide with 1 mole of the amine C.sub.12 H.sub.25 NH.sub.2 or C.sub.18 H.sub.37 NH.sub.2.
Anionic dispersing agents which may be mentioned are: sulphuric acid esters of alcohols of the fatty series with 8 to 20 carbon atoms, of the ethylene oxide adducts of the corresponding fatty acid amides, or of alkylated phenols with 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical; sulphonic acid esters with alkyl radicals with 8 to 20 carbon atoms; sulphation products of unsaturated fats and oils; phosphoric acid esters with alkyl radicals with 8 to 20 carbon atoms; fatty acid soaps and also alkylarylsulphonates, condensation products of formaldehyde with naphthalenesulphonic acid and ligninsulphonates.
Suitable cationic dispersing agents are quaternary ammonium compounds which contain an alkyl or aralkyl radical with 8 to 20 carbon atoms.
In addition to the dispersing agents, the dyestuff formulations can also contain organic solvents, especially solvents which boil above 100.degree. C and which preferably are miscible with water, such as mono- and di-alkylglycol ethers, dioxane, dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, tetramethylenesulphone or dimethylsulphoxide. Advantageously, the dyestuff, the dispersing agent and the solvent can be ground with one another.
Dyeing of polyester fibres with the dyestuffs according to the invention, which are sparingly soluble in water, from an aqueous dispersion is carried out according to the processes customary for polyester materials. Polyesters of aromatic polycarboxylic acids with polyhydric alcohols are preferably dyed at temperatures of above 100.degree. C, under pressure. However, dyeing can also be carried out at the boiling point of the dye bath in the presence of dyestuff carriers, for example phenylphenols, polychlorobenzene compounds or similar auxiliaries, or by the thermosol process, that is to say padding with subsequent hot after-treatment, for example thermofixing at 180.degree.-210.degree. C. Cellulose 21/2-acetate fibres are preferably dyed at temperatures of 80.degree.-85.degree. , whilst cellulose triacetate fibres are advantageously dyed at the boiling point of the dye bath. When dyeing cellulose 21/2-acetate or polyamide fibres, it is not necessary to use dyestuff carriers. Dyestuffs according to the invention can also be used for printing the said materials according to customary methods.
The dyeings obtained according to the present process can be subjected to an after-treatment, for example by heating with an aqueous solution of a non-ionic washing agent.
According to the present process, the indicated compounds can also be applied by printing, instead of by impregnation. For this purpose, for example, a printing ink which contains the finely disperse dyestuff in addition to the auxiliaries customary in printing, such as wetting agents and thickeners, is used.
It is also possible to dye, for example, synthetic fibres, such as polyesters and polyamides, in organic solvent liquors, such as a mixture of perchloroethylene and dimethylformamide or in pure perchloroethylene.
The present process gives deep luminous dyeings and prints with excellent fastness properties, in particular fastness to light, thermofixing, sublimation, pleating, flue gas, cross-dyeing, drycleaning, ironing, rubbing, and chlorine and wet fastness properties, such as fastness to water, washing and perspiration.
The new dyestuffs, which are insoluble in water, can also be used for spin-dyeing polyamides, polyesters and polyolefins. The polymer to be dyed is appropriately mixed, in the form of a powder, granules or chips, as a ready-to-use spinning solution or in the molten state, with the dyestuff, which is introduced in the dry state or in the form of a dispersion or solution in an optionally volatile solvent. After homogeneous distribution of the dyestuff in the solution or melt of the polymer, the mixture is processed in a known manner by casting, pressing or extruding to give fibres, yarns, monofilaments, films and the like.
The basic dyestuffs and dyestuff salts, obtained according to the invention, which have an optionally quaternised amino, hydrazino or etherified hydroxylamino group or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group, are suitable for dyeing and printing very diverse fully synthetic fibres, such as, for example, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide and polyurethane fibres, as well as fibres of polyesters of aromatic dicarboxylic acids, such as, for example, polyethylene terephtalate, fibres, as well as anionically modified polyester and polyamide fibres, but especially polyacrylonitrile fibre materials or polyvinylidene cyanide fibres (Darvan). Polyacrylonitrile fibres are understood, above all, as polymers which contain more than 80%, for example 80 to 95%, of acrylonitrile; in addition they contain 5 to 20% of vinyl acetate, vinylpyridine, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, acrylic acid, acrylic acid esters, methacrylic acid, methacrylic acid esters and the like. These products are sold, for example, under the following tradenames: "Acrilan 1656" (The Chemstrand Corporation, Decatur, Ala., USA), "Acrilan 41" (The Chemstrand Corporation), "Creslan" (American Cyanamid Company) "Orlon 44" (Du Pont), "Crylor HH" (Soc. Rhodiaceta SA, France), "Leacril N" (Applicazioni Chimice Societa per Azioni, Italy), "Dynel" (Union Carbide Chem. Corp), "Exlan" (Japan Exlan Industry Co., Japan), "Vonnel " (Mitsubishi, Japan), "Verel" (Tennessee Eastman, USA), "Zefran" (Dow Chemical, USA), "Wolcrylon" (Filmfabrik Agfa, Wolfen), "Ssaniw" (USSR) and also "Orlon 42" , "Dralon", "Courtelle" and the like.
On these fibres, which can also be dyed as mixtures with one another, the new dyestuffs give intense and level dyeings with good fastness to light and good general fastness properties, in particular good fastness to washing, perspiration and sublimation, crease-resistance and fastness to decatising, ironing, rubbing, carbonising, water, chlorinated water, seawater, drycleaning, cross-dyeing and solvents. The new dyestuffs according to the invention also exhibit, inter alia, good stability in a relatively wide pH range, a good affinity, for example in aqueous solutions of various pH values, and good fastness to kier-boiling. A further advantage is the good reserve on wool and other natural polyamide fibres as well as on cotton. The dyeings are distingushed by luminous shades.
The quaternised water-soluble dyestuffs generally have a low sensitivity to electrolytes and some of them have an outstandingly good solubility in water or polar solvents. Dyeing with the quaternised water-soluble dyestuffs is generally carried out in an aqueous, neutral or acid medium, at the boiling point under atmospheric pressure, or in a closed vessel at elevated temperature and under elevated pressure.
They can also be applied to the fibre materials by printing. For this purpose, for example, a printing paste which contains the dyestuff in addition to the auxiliaries customary in printing is used. They are also suitable for bulk dyeing polymerisation products of acrylonitrile, and also other plastic, optionally dissolved compositions, in shades which are fast to light and to washing, and are also suitable for dyeing oil paints or lacquers, or, finally, also for dyeing paper and mordanted cotton.
The water-soluble azo compounds, and their heavy metal complexes, which are obtainable according to the present process and its variants, are suitable for dyeing and printing very diverse materials, such as, for example, silk, leather, wool, synthetic fibres made of high molecular weight polyamides and high molecular weight polyurethanes and polyhydroxylic materials, such as, for example, cellulose-containing material of fibrous structure, such as linen, cellulose, regenerated cellulose, cotton and the like.
The non-metallised water-soluble azo compounds are particularly important dyestuffs.
The azo compounds which contain a fibre-reactive radical and a sulphonic acid group are the most important. These dyestuffs are preferably used for dyeing nitrogen-containing fibres, such as, for example, high molecular weight polyamides, high molecular weight polyurethanes, silk, leather and, in particular, wool, for example from a weakly acid, neutral or weakly alkaline bath, optionally with the addition of the customary auxiliaries, for example of ethylene oxide condensation products of high molecular amines, and, above all, cellulose materials, especially cotton, for example by the exhaustion process from a dilute liquor or from an alkaline aqueous bath, which optionally has a high salt content, and especially by the pad-dyeing process, according to which the goods are impregnated with aqueous dyestuff solutions, which optionally also contain salt, and the dyestuffs are fixed, after treatment with alkali or in the presence of alkali, optionally under the action of heat.
the water-soluble fibre-reactive dyestuffs are also suitable for printing, especially on cotton, but also for printing nitrogen-containing fibres, for example wool, silk or mixed fabrics containing wool.
The dyeings and prints are distinguished by interesting and valuable, very pure and brilliant shades. The dyeings and prints display good resistance to acid and alkalis and good resistance towards synthetic resin finishing agents, good fastness to light and, especially on cotton, outstanding wet fastness properties. The high degree of fixation and the ready removability of unfixed portions of dyestuff are also worthy of note.
In order to improve the wet fastness properties, it is advisable to subject the dyeings and prints obtained to thorough rinsing with cold and hot water, optionally with the addition of an agent which has a dispersing action and which promotes the diffusion of the unfixed portions.

Using a similar procedure, a dyestuff which dyes both wool and polyamide in fast golden yellow shades is obtained using 2-amino-5-dibromopropionylamino-4'-methyl-1,1'-diphenylsulphone-3'-sulphon ic acid as the diazo component and a dyestuff which dyes cotton in fast yellow shades is obtained using 2-chloro-4-(3'-sulphophenyl)-amino-6-(3"-amino-4"-sulphophenyl)-aminotriaz ine.
DYEING INSTRUCTIONS I
1 part of the dyestuff obtained according to Example 1 is ground wet with 2 parts of a 50% strength aqueous solution of the sodium salt of dinaphthylmethanedisulphonic acid and the mixture is dried.
This dyestuff formulation is stirred with 40 parts of a 10% strength aqueous solution of the sodium salt of N-benzyl.mu.-heptadecyl-benzimidazoledisulphonic acid and 4 parts of a 40% strength acetic acid solution are added. 4,000 parts of a dye bath are prepared from this mixture by dilution with water.
100 parts of a cleaned polyester fibre material are introduced into this bath at 50.degree. C, the temperature is raised to 120.degree. to 130.degree. C in the course of half an hour and the material is dyed at this temperature for one hour in a closed vessel. It is then rinsed well. A deep red dyeing with outstanding fastness to light and sublimation is obtained.
