(iii) when in a compound of formula I

which compound of formula I is in free acid or salt form whereby each sulphonic acid group as well as each protonatable amino group can be present in ionized form.
In a compound of formula I the total number of any basic and/or cationic groups, e.g. any protonatable amino and/or quaternary ammonium groups, equals or is less than the total number of anionic groups, i.e. the sulpho and carboxy groups present. Depending on the reaction and isolation conditions used for a compound of formula I, the positive charge of each cationic group is balanced either by the negative charge of an anionic SO.sub.3.sup..crclbar. or COO.sup..crclbar. group forming an internal salt, or by an external anion An.sup..crclbar., where An.sup..crclbar. is a non-chromophoric anion, such as chloride, bromide, lactate, acetate, propionate, citrate, oxalate, methyl sulphate, ethyl sulphate and hydrogensulphate, most preferably chloride.
The term "salt form" encompasses internal and external salt forms as well as acid addition salt form.
In case where a compound of formula I is free of basic and cationic groups, this compound is in free acid or external salt form. Where it is free of basic groups and the total number of cationic groups (a) equals or (b) is less than the total number of anionic groups, normally an internal salt is formed, or both groups may be in external salt form, and for (b) the surplus anionic group(s) is (are) in free acid or external salt form. Where it is free of cationic groups and the total number of basic groups (c) equals or (d) is less than the total number of anionic groups, normally an internal salt is formed and for (d) the surplus anionic group(s) is (are) in free acid or external salt form, or the anionic group may be in external salt form, and the basic group may be in free base or acid addition salt form with an acid HAn, where An.sup..crclbar. is a non-chromophoric anion, and the surplus anionic group(s) is (are) in external salt form. In principle, the same applies where both basic groups and cationic groups are present.

The starting compounds of formula II, diazo components of the 2-phenylbenzothiazole series, are either known or may be prepared analogously to known processes, for example according to M. Schubert, Annalen 558, 10 (1947). Diazo components of formula II for example are as follows:
2-(4'-aminophenyl)-6-methylbenzothiazole-7-sulfonic acid
2-(4'-aminophenyl)-6-methylbenzothiazole-5-sulfonic acid
2-(4'-aminophenyl)-6-methylbenzothiazole-3',7-disulfonic acid

2-(4'-amino-3'-methylphenyl)-4,6-dimethylbenzothiazole-7-sulphonic acid
2-(4'-aminophenyl)-6-methylbenzothiazole primuline base.
The coupling components, of formula IIIa are either known or may be prepared in accordance with known methods. Such preparation processes for example are described in: The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Pyridine and its Derivatives, Parts I-IV; Interscience Publishers Inc. 1960-1964; furthermore in: Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesselschaft 29, (1986), page 655; and in patent references, such as DE-OS 19 64 690; 20 22 817; 21 18 945; 21 23 061; 21 41 449; 21 50 598; 21 50 772; 21 50 817; 21 62 612; 23 49 709; 27 05 562; etc.
Compounds of formula IIIax, ##STR42## in which R.sub.5x is C.sub.1-6 alkylene-E.sub.1 or the group ##STR43## may be prepared for example by reacting a compound of formula IIIay, ##STR44## in which W is C.sub.1-6 alkylene or a group ##STR45## wherein R.sub.31 is --NHCOR.sub.12 --, --SO.sub.2 NHR.sub.12 -- or --CONHR.sub.12 --, and X.sub.o is a functional group, preferably a group which can be split off as an anion, with a compound of the formula E.sub.1 -H.
The coupling components, of formula IIIb are either known or may be prepared in accordance with known methods from known starting compounds. Such preparation processes for example are described in: The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, The Pyrimidines, Interscience Publishers 1962; furthermore in numerous patent references such as U.S. Pat. No. 2,673,204 or DE-PS 134,984, 158,591, 165,692, 184,456, etc.
Diazotisation and coupling reactions may be effected in accordance with known methods. For diazotisation, the amines or amine mixtures are advantageously dissolved in an aqueous alkali or made into a paste therein, and mixed with a 5-10% molar excess sodium nitrite. Diazotisation conveniently is carried out in a medium containing a mineral acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, at 0.degree.-20.degree. C. Coupling conveniently is carried out at pH 3-10, preferably 4-8. Optionally, a quaternary ammonium compound is added using at least an equimolar amount which is sufficient to neutralise one sulphonic acid group.
The resultant compound of formula I may be used in form of the solution as obtained; however, this solution may also be converted into a solid by spray-drying. Furthermore, the conventional method of isolation used for dyestuffs, salting out of the solution, filtering off and drying, is also suitable.
The type of cations present in a compound of formula I may be influenced in different ways depending on the preparation process. One possibility consists in filtering off the diazonium salt which is obtained in the above process, and washing it with water. The solid diazonium compound is then added to an aqueous slurry or solution of the coupling component, which contains a basic salt, lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium hydroxide, one or more organic amines or a quaternary ammonium compound. Anothermethod consists in converting the compound of formula I, which is obtained by diazotisation and coupling and is isolated in the sodium salt form, into the free acid by using a mineral acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, then filtering and washing with water; the compound is subsequently neutralised and thus converted into the desired alkali salt or ammonium salt. Any type of mixed salt form may be obtained by effecting partial conversion into the free acid and/or by step-wise neutralisation. The salt-changing method, conversion of one salt form into another, can also be used.
If diazotisation takes place using alkyl nitrites, dinitrogen trioxide or mixtures of nitric oxide and oxygen instead of alkali nitrite, it is possible to produce solutions of the end products which are free from metal ions. If desired, corresponding salts may be obtained by adding a base which yields cations or by adding an amine.
The compounds according to the invention in form of their water-soluble salts are useful for dyeing or printing hydroxy group- or nitrogen-containing organic substrates. For example, they are suitable for dyeing or printing fibres, threads or textiles produced therefrom, which consist of or contain cellulose materials, such as cotton, in accordance with known methods; cotton is preferably dyed by the exhaust method, for example from a long or short liquor, at room temperature to boiling temperatures. Printing is effected by means of impregnation with a printing paste which is prepared by known methods. The compounds of formula I are especially suited for dyeing or printing paper in accordance with known methods, e.g. for the preparation of sized or unsized paper dyed in the stock. They may also be used for dyeing paper by the dipping process. Furthermore, the new dyestuffs can be used for dyeing or printing leather, preferably chrometanned types of leather, in accordance with known methods. The dyeings and prints obtained (especially those on paper) have good fastness to usage.
The compounds of formula I may be used as such or may also be used in the form of dyeing preparations, which are preferably used for dyeing paper. Suitable liquid, preferably aqueous, concentrated dyeing preparations may be made in accordance with known methods, advantageously by dissolving in suitable solvents, optionally adding an adjuvant, e.g. a hydrotropic compound or a stabiliser. The ability to produce such stable, aqueous-concentrated preparations in the course of dyestuff synthesis without intermediate isolation of the dyestuff is particularly advantageous. In this process, coupling takes place for example in the presence of appropriate amines and in particular in the presence of quaternary ammonium hydroxides which serve to introduce corresponding cations as defined above, and optionally in the presence of further hydrotropic adjuvants. Suitable hydrotropic adjuvants are for example low molecular weight amides, lactones, alcohols, glycols or polyols, low molecular weight ethers or hydroxyalkylation products, as well as nitriles or esters; among these the following compounds are preferably used:--Methanol, ethanol, propanol; ethylene-, propylene-, diethylene-, thiodiethylene- and dipropylene-glycol; butanediol; .beta.-hydroxypropionitrile, pentamethylene glycol, ethylene gycol monoethyl- and -propylether, ethylene diglycol monoethylether, triethylene glycol monobutylether, butyl polyglycol, formamide, dimethylformamide, pyrrolidone, N-methylpyrrolidone, glycol acetate, butyrolactone, urea and .epsilon. -caprolactam.
Hydrotropic compounds are described e.g. by H. Rath and S. Muller, in Melliand Textilberichte 40, 707 (1959) or by E. H. Daruwalla in K. Venkataraman, The Chemistry of Synthetic Dyes, Vol. VIII, pages 86-92 (1974).
The additional content of a hydrotropic compound further improves the stability on storage of the dyestuff preparation and the solubility of the dyestuff employed.
An example of a suitable liquid dye preparation (all parts are by weight):
100 parts of a compound of formula I in water-soluble salt form
1-100, preferably 1-10, parts of an inorganic salt, 100-800 parts of water,
0-500 parts of one of the hydrotropic compounds mentioned above.
Depending on the salt form used, the liquid dye preparation may be a suspension or is preferably a true solution. The preparations are stable and can be stored for a long period of time.
Similarly, the compounds of formula I may be made into solid, preferably granulated, dyeing preparations in accordance with known methods, advantageously by granulating as described in French patent specification No. 1.581.900.
A suitable granulate preparation comprises (all parts are by weight):
100 parts of a compound of formula I in water-soluble salt form,
1-100, preferably 1-10, parts of an inorganic salt,
0-800 parts of a standardising agent (preferably non-ionic, such as starch, dextrin, sugar, glucose and urea).
The solid preparation may contain up to 10% residual moisture.
Depending on the cation mixture present, the dyestuffs of formula I possess good solubility properties, particularly good solubility in cold water. Furthermore, when used in paper-making, they colour the waste water only to a slight extent or not at all. They do not mottle on paper and are substantially insensitive to filling material and pH over wide ranges. They are only slightly inclined to give two-sided dyeing on paper. The dyeings on paper have good light fastness properties; after a long-term exposure to light, the shade alters tone-in-tone. The dyed papers also have very good wet fastness properties; they are fast not only to water, but also to milk, fruit juices, sweetened mineral water and tonic water, and in addition they show good alcohol fastness properties.
The dyestuffs have good substantivity, i.e. they exhaust practically quantitatively, and show good build-up; they can be added to the paper pulp directly, i.e. without previously dissolving, as a dry powder or granulate, without reducing the brilliance or the yield of colour. It is advantageous to use the genuine solutions of the dyestuffs as given above, which are stable, of low viscosity and thus capable of being accurately measured out. Fibre materials which contain mechanical wood pulp are dyed in good, even quality with the dyestuffs of the present invention. The dyed paper, is both oxidatively and reductively bleachable, which is important for the recycling of waste paper.
The entire specification of grandparent application Ser. No. 877,659, filed May 19, 1986, particularly pages 1-17 and 44-60, is hereby incorporated be reference.
The following examples further serve to illustrate the invention. In the examples, all parts are by weight or volume, and the percentages are by weight; the temperatures are given in degrees centigrade.
Example 1
6.4 Parts of 2-(4'-aminophenyl)-6-methylbenzothiazole-7-sulphonic acid are stirred into 100 parts of water, and dissolved by adding 5.1 parts of 30% sodium hydroxide solution. 6 Parts of 4N sodium nitrite solution are added, and the solution is poured whilst stirring into a preparation of 200 parts of ice and 7 parts of 30% hydrochloric acid. A yellow diazo suspension is obtained. After stirring for three hours, whereby the temperature may increase to 20.degree., and excess nitrous acid is decomposed by adding a small amount of sulphamic acid. Then, 3.3 parts of 4-methyl-6-hydroxypyridone-(2) are added to the diazo suspension, and 10 parts of sodium carbonate are subsequently sprinkled in. Coupling commences immediately whereby an orange suspension is obtained. After about one hour coupling is complete. 10 parts of 30% sodium hydroxide solution are added, and the dyestuff thus formed goes totally into solution. By sprinkling in 20% by volume of sodium chloride, the dyestuff can be completely salted out. After drying, the dyestuff corresponding to the formula ##STR46## is obtained in form of a powder. It dyes paper a brilliant neutral-yellow shade. The paper dyeings have very good light and wet fastness properties.
Examples 2 to 25 / Table 1
By a method analogous to that of Example 1 further heterocyclic monoazo compounds can be prepared from appropriate starting compounds. They correspond to formula (A), ##STR47## in which the symbols are defined in Table 1 below.

The positive charge of each cationic group present in a compound of formula (A), (B) or (C) listed in Tables 1 to 3 is balanced by the negative charge of the SO.sub.3.sup..crclbar. group. Each protonatable amino group present forms an internal salt with the sulpho group. Where no cationic or protonatable amino group is present or where the total number of anionic groups is greater than the total number of cationic or basic groups, the anionic group(s) is (are) in external salt form, especially in sodium salt form.

Subsequently, at 0.degree. 8 parts of 4N sodium nitrite solution are added dropwise. A yellow diazo solution is obtained which is stirred for two hours. 8 Parts of 6-hydroxy-4-methylpyridonyl-(3)-pyridinium chloride are then added. The pH is adjusted to 8 by adding 20 parts of sodium carbonate. Coupling commences immediately, and an orange suspension is formed. This suspension is stirred for four hours; afterwards the precipitated dyestuff is filtered off. After drying, a readily soluble dyestuff powder containing the dyestuff which, in the possible tautomeric forms, corresponds to one of the given formulae, is obtained. ##STR58## This dyestuff dyes paper a brilliant reddish-yellow shade. The paper dyeings obtained have good light and wet fastness properties.

EXAMPLE 35
7 Parts of 2-(4'-aminophenyl)-6-carboxybenzothiazole-7-sulphonic acid are stirred into 40 parts of water and dissolved with 4 parts of 30% sodium hydroxide solution. 5.5 Parts of 4N sodium nitrite solution are added, and this mixture is poured into a preparation consisting of 100 parts of ice and 10 parts of 30 % hydrochloric acid whilst stirring. A light yellow diazo suspension is formed.
After stirring for one hour, the excess nitrous acid is decomposed by adding sulphamic acid. 4 Parts of 4-amino-3-cyano-6-hydroxypyridone-(2) are added, and then 10 parts of sodium carbonate are sprinkled in. Coupling commences, and a brownish-orange suspension is obtained. After two hours coupling is complete. Subsequently, 20 parts of 30% sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise, and the mixture is heated to 70.degree.; the resultant dyestuff thus goes into solution. It is salted out by sprinkling in 40 parts of sodium chloride, filtered off and dried. An orange-red powder is obtained which contains the dyestuff having the formula ##STR63## This dyestuff dyes paper a brilliant reddish-yellow shade. The obtained paper dyeings show notably good light and wet fastness properties.
