Description
Metal complex Colouning Agents based on Bucherered naphthols
The present invention relates to novel reactive dyes, processes for their
preparation and their use for dyeing or printing textile fiber materials.
Reactive dyes for dyeing or printing hydroxyl- and/or carboxamido-containing
materials these days must combine good general fastness properties with good
washoff of the unfixed portions. Given the dyes available at present, there is
accordingly room for improvement.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel, improved reactive dyes
for the dyeing and printing of hydroxyl- and/or carboxamido-containing materials,
especially fiber materials, that combine good general fastness properties,
especially a high lightfastness, with good washoff of the unfixed portions.
This object is surprisingly achieved by the hereinbelow described dyes according
to the invention.
The present invention accordingly provides reactive copper, cobalt or chromium
complex compounds of the general formula (1)


where
B is a direct bond or a bridge member;
X is a fiber-reactive structural element;
W1 is vinyl or a group of the formula - CH2-CH2-V, where V is an alkali-
eliminable radical;
R1, R2 are independently hydrogen, chlorine, alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms, such
as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, tert-butyl, alkoxy
of 1 -4 carbon atoms, such as methoxy, ethoxy, n-propyloxy,
i-propyloxy, carboxyl or sulfamoyl, hydrogen, hydroxyl or sulfo,
preferably hydrogen;
R3 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, carboxyl or sulfo;
R4 is hydrogen or sulfo;
R5 is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms which can be substituted by
halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
alkoxycarbonyl of 2 to 5 carbon atoms, carboxyl, sulfo or sulfato;
h, k, I, m are independently 0 or 1;
Me is copper, cobalt or chromium, preferably copper and cobalt and
particularly preferably copper;
M is hydrogen or an alkali metal, such as sodium, potassium or lithium,
or the mole equivalent of an alkaline earth metal, such as calcium, and
preferably is hydrogen or an alkali metal.

Suitable fiber-reactive radicals X, i.e., those which react with the OH or NH
groups of the fiber under dyeing conditions to form covalent bonds, are for
example -SO2Ch = CH2 or -SO2CH2CH2V, where a V grouping, which can be
eliminated through the action of alkali, represents in particular radicals of the
formula -OSO3M, thiosulfato of the formula -SSO3M, acetyloxy of the formula
-OCOCH3, phosphato of the formula -OPO(OM)2 and chloro, bromo, benzyloxy of
the formula -OCOC6H5, phenylsulfonyloxy of the formula -SO2-C6H5 or
pyridinium, which may be substituted, for example by alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms,
carboxyl, sulfo, cyano or carbamoyl, where M is as defined above, or are fiber-
reactive radicals X, especially those which contain at least one reactive
substituent attached to a 5- or 6-membered aromatic heterocyclic ring, for
example to a monoazine, diazine or triazine ring, especially a pyridine, pyrimidine,
pyridazine, pyrazine, thiazine, oxazine or asymmetrical or symmetrical triazine
ring, or to such a ring system that comprises one or more fused-on aromatic
carbocyclic rings, for example a quinoline, phthalazine, cinnoline, quinazoline,
quinoxaline, acridine, phenazine or phenanthridine ring system.
Fiber-reactive radicals selected from the pyrimidines or triazines are particularly
suitable.
Examples of reactive substituents on the heterocycle include halogen (Cl, Br or
F), ammonium including hydrazinium, pyridinium, picolinium, carboxypyridinium,
sulfonium, sulfonyl, azido(N3), thiocyanato, sulfinic acid and sulfonic acid.

The reactive dyes of the general formula (1) according to the invention are
generally present as a preparation in solid or liquid (dissolved) form. In solid form,

they generally contain the electrolyte salts customary in the case of water-
soluble and especially fiber-reactive dyes, such as sodium chloride, potassium
chloride and sodium sulfate, and can further contain the auxiliaries customary in
commercial dyes, such as buffer substances capable of setting a pH in aqueous
solution between 3 and 7, such as sodium acetate, sodium borate, sodium
bicarbonate, sodium dihydrogenphosphate, sodium tricitrate and disodium
hydrogenphosphate, or small amounts of siccatives or, if they are present in a
liquid, aqueous solution (including the presence of thickeners of the type
customary in print pastes), they may also include substances which ensure a
long life for these preparations, for example mold preventatives.
The reactive dyes of the general formula (1) according to the invention are
preferably present as a dye powder or as a granular dye containing 10 to 80%
by weight, based on the powder or granules, of an electrolyte salt which is also
known as a standardizing agent. Granules have particle sizes of 50 to 500 µm in
particular. These solid preparations can further contain the aforementioned buffer
substances in a total amount of up to 10% by weight, based on the preparation.
When the dyes are present in aqueous solution, the total dye content in these
aqueous solutions is up to about 50% by weight, for example between 5 and
50% by weight, and the electrolyte salt content in these aqueous solutions is
preferably below 10% by weight, based on the aqueous solution. The aqueous
solutions (liquid preparations) can contain the aforementioned buffer substances
generally in an amount of up to 10% by weight, preferably up to 2% by weight.
The present invention further provides processes for preparing the reactive dyes
of the general formula (1) according to the invention.
For example, the dyes of the general formula (1-1) according to the invention are

are preferably prepared by Bucherer reaction of the corresponding naphthols or
naphthylamines with 2-aminophenols of the general formula (1-5)

where M, R2, W1, m and I are each as defined above.
The conditions of the Bucherer reaction are known per se, for example from
GB-A-230 457 and CS 155758; it is preferably carried out in water at 80°C and
130°C, particularly preferably between 100°C and 130°C.
Starting compounds for the Bucherer reaction are for example 1 -hydroxy-
7-aminonaphthalene-3-sulfonic acid, 1,7-dihydroxynaphthalene-3-sulfonic acid,
2-aminonaphthalene-6-sulfonic acid, 2-aminonaphthalene-5-sulfonic acid,

In a preferred embodiment of the preparative process, the Bucherer reaction was
carried out using aminophenol of the general formula (1-5) where W2 is
hydroxyethyl and I is 1. For instance, a compound of the general formula (1-4)

where R3 and R4 are each as defined above and R6 is hydroxyl or amino, is
adjusted to a pH of 5.7 in water and 39% sodium hydrogensulfite solution using
33% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution together with a compound of the
general formula (1-5)

where M, R2, W1, m and I are each as defined above. If appropriate, the addition
of sodium chloride is followed by refluxing the reaction mixture at 100°C to
110°C for 20 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the product of the
formula (1-3)


where R2, R3, R4 and m are each as defined above, W1 is hydroxyethyl and I is 1,
is isolated, washed with saturated sodium chloride solution and dried.
The resultant compound of the general formula (1-3) where W1 is hydroxyethyl
and I and m are each 1 is subsequently converted by customary methods, for
example using anhydrous sulfuric acid as described in EP-A- 0568876, into the
corresponding sulfuric ester, i.e., into a compound of the general formula (1-3)
where W1 is ?-sulfatoethyl.
The diazotization of the compounds of the general formula (1-2) and also the
coupling reaction with the compound of the general formula (1-3) are known per
se to one skilled in the art and can be carried out in the generally customary
manner extensively described in the pertinent literature.
The thus obtainable monoazo compounds of the general formula (1-6)

where
h is 0;
B is a direct bond and
X is S02W1 and -M, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R5", W1, I, m and k are each as defined
above are new and likewise form part of the subject matter of the present
invention.

The compounds of the general formula (1-6) according to the invention are
treated with a copper, cobalt or chromium donor in the presence or absence of
an oxidizing agent or in the presence or absence of a demethylating agent. This
reaction with copper, cobalt or chromium donors is effected similarly to known
processes for synthesizing metal complexes.
Monoazo compounds of the general formula (1-6) are preferably treated with the
metal donors in an aqueous medium at a temperature between 0 and 130°C, if
appropriate by refluxing or under superatmospheric pressure in a closed vessel.
When metal complex formation is carried out as an oxidative coppering, i.e.,
when R5 is a hydrogen atom in the compounds of the formula (1-6), a customary
oxidizing agent is added.
The metal donors used in the metal complex formation process according to the
invention are for example salts of copper, of cobalt and of chromium which are
capable of donating the respective metal in the form of a cation to the complex
formation capable hydroxyl groups in the compounds of the formula (1-1) which
may have become formed in the oxidative or dealkylating metallization, for
example copper sulfate, copper carbonate, cobalt sulfate, cobalt acetate and
chromium sulfate; such compounds useful as metal complex formers also include
hydroxycarboxylic acids or dicarboxylic acids which contain the metal bound in a
complexed form, for example complex cobalt or chromium compounds of
aliphatic hydrocarboxylic acids or of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, especially of
alkanes of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, or chromium complex compounds of aromatic
o-hydroxycarboxylic acids, for example the chromium or cobalt complex
compounds of salicylic acid, of citric acid, of lactic acid, of glycolic acid or of
tartaric acid.
The monoazo compounds of the general formula (1-1) according to the invention
can be separated and isolated from the aqueous synthesis solutions according to
generally known methods for water-soluble compounds, for example by
precipitating from the reaction medium by means of an electrolyte, for example
sodium chloride or potassium chloride, or by evaporating the reaction solution
itself, for example by spray drying. When the latter form of isolation is chosen, it
is frequently advisable to precede the evaporating by removing any sulfate

present in the solutions by precipitation as calcium sulfate and removal by
filtration or pressure permeation.
The dyes of the general formula (1) according to the invention are further
obtainable for example by reacting equivalent amounts of amino compounds of
the general formula (3a) and (3b)

Further useful dyes of the general formula (1) are obtained by reacting
compounds of the general formula (3a) with compounds of the general formula
X-Hal, where X and Hal are each as defined above. In a particular embodiment,
compounds of the general formula (3a) are reacted with compounds of the
general formula

in a conventional manner.
Alternatively, compounds of the general formula (3a) are first reacted with

preferably cyanuric chloride or cyanuric fluoride and then with amines of the
general formula AH, where AH is as defined above.
The process steps described are comprised in the prior art.
The invention further provides a process for preparing compounds of the general

formula (3)

where R1 to R5, Me and B, k, I, m, W1, M are each as defined above.
Compounds of the general formula (3) are new and likewise form part of the
subject matter of the invention. They are obtainable starting from amino
compounds of the general formula (8a) or (8b)

where L is a hydrolyzable protecting group, for example formyl, C1-C4-alkyl-
carbonyl or C1-C4-alkoxycarbonyl, especially acetyl, and M, B, R1 and R5 and also
k are each as defined above, by diazotization and coupling onto a compound of
the formula (1-3)


where R2, R3, R4, W1 I and m are each as defined above, at a temperature
between 0°C and 3D°C, preferably between 10°C and 40°C, and at a pH less
than 6, preferably between 0.5 and 4.0, and subsequent reaction with copper,
cobalt or chromium donors similarly to familiar processes for synthesizing metal
complexes, and subsequent reduction of the nitro group in a conventional
manner or hydrolysis, preferably alkaline hydrolysis, similarly to known
procedures, of the protected amino group.
Amines of the general formula (8a) and (8b) which are used as diazo components
in the process according to the invention include for example:
6-acetylamino-2-aminophenol-4-sulfonic acid, 2-amino-6-nitrophenol-4-sulfonic
acid, 4-nitro-2-aminophenol-6-sulfonic acid, 2-amino-6-chlorophenol-

2-aminophenol, 6-chloro-4-nitro-2-aminophenol, 2-aminophenol-4-sulfonamide,
4-acetylamino-6-aminophenol-2-sulfonic acid.
The reactive dyes of the general formula (1) according to the invention possess
useful application properties. They are used for the dyeing and printing of
hydroxyl- and/or carboxamide-containing materials, for example in the form of
sheetlike structures, such as paper and leather, or of films, of polyamide for
example, or in bulk, as for example polyamide and polyurethane, but especially in
the form of fibers of the materials mentioned. Preferably they are used for dyeing
and printing cellulosic fiber materials of any kind. They are also useful for dyeing
and printing hydroxyl-containing fibers present in blend fabrics, for example
blends of cotton with polyester fibers or polyamide fibers. It is also possible to
use them to print textiles or paper by the inkjet process.
The present invention accordingly also provides for the use of the reactive dyes
of the general formula (1) according to the invention for dyeing or printing the
materials mentioned and processes for dyeing or printing such materials in a
conventional manner by using one or more reactive dyes of the general
formula (1) according to the invention as a colorant. For this, the as-synthesized

solutions of the reactive dyes of the general formula (1) according to the
invention can be used directly as a liquid preparation for dyeing, if appropriate
after addition of a buffer substance and similarly if appropriate after
concentrating.
Hydroxyl-containing materials are those of natural or synthetic origin, for
example cellulose fiber materials or regenerated products thereof and polyvinyl
alcohols. Cellulose fiber materials are preferably cotton, but also other vegetable
fibers, such as linen, hemp, jute and Ramie fibers. Regenerated cellulose fibers
are for example staple viscose and filament viscose.
Carboxamido-containing materials are for example synthetic and natural
polyamides and polyurethane, especially in the form of fibers, for example wool
and other animal hairs, silk, leather, nylon-6,6, nylon-6, nylon-11 and nylon-4.
The fiber materials can also be processed and dyed in blends with each other or
contain fiber materials of a different chemical nature, such as polyester fibers.
Examples thereof are blend fabrics of cellulose fibers and polyester fibers and
also of cellulose fibers and polyamide fibers.
The dyes according to the invention can be applied to and fixed on the
substrates mentioned, especially the fiber materials mentioned, by the application
techniques known for water-soluble, fiber-reactive dyes, in accordance with the
use of the invention, for example by applying the compounds of the general
formula (1) in dissolved form to the substrate or incorporating them thereinto and
fixing them thereon or therein by heating or by the action of an alkaline agent or
by both measures. Such dyeing and fixing processes are extensively described in
the literature, for example in EP-A-0 181 585.
Thus the compounds (1) are useful not only for the exhaust dyeing process but
also for dyeing by the pad dyeing process, whereby the material is impregnated
with aqueous solutions of the dyes according to the invention, which may
contain electrolyte salt, and fixed on the material in the manner mentioned
above. The compounds of the general formula (1) according to the invention are

particularly useful for cold pad-batch processes, whereby a dye is applied to the
fiber material on a pad mangle together with alkali and is fixed by storing at room
temperature for several hours. After fixing, the dyeings and prints obtained are
thoroughly washed with cold and hot water, if appropriate in the presence of an
agent which has a dispersing action and promotes the diffusion of unfixed
portions.
The compounds of the general formula (1) are notable for high reactivity, good
flexibility and good build-up capacity. They can therefore be used for exhaust
dyeing at low dyeing temperatures and require only short steaming times in pad-
steam processes. The fixation yields are high, and the unfixed portions are
readily washed off with the difference between the degree of exhaustion and the
degree of fixation being remarkably small, i.e., the loss through hydrolysis being
very small. The compounds of the general formula (1) are also particularly useful
in textile printing processes, especially on cellulose fiber materials, such as
cotton, but also for printing carboxamide-containing fiber material, for example
wool and silk, or blend fabrics containing wool or silk. They are similarly very
useful in discharge printing and resist printing processes.
The dyeings and prints prepared with the compounds of the general formula (1)
according to the invention, on cellulose fiber materials in particular, have a high
color strength and a high fiber-dye bond stability not only in the acidic but also in
the alkaline range, also good lightfastness, including very good wet lightfastness,
and also generally good wetfastnesses, such as good fastness to washing,
water, seawater, crossdyeing and perspiration, and also very good perspiration
lightfastnesses, further good fastness to pleating and dry heat setting and
rubbing.
The examples which follow illustrate the invention.
The compounds described in the examples by means of a formula are indicated in
the form of the free acids; generally they are prepared and isolated in the form of
their alkali metal salts, such as lithium, sodium or potassium salts, and used for

dyeing in the form of their salts. Similarly, the starting compounds and
components mentioned in the examples hereinbelow, especially the table
examples, in the form of the free acid may be used in the synthesis as such or in
the form of their salts, preferably alkali metal salts.
The absorption maxima (?max) in the visible region reported for the compounds of
the invention were determined on their alkali metal salts in aqueous solution. The
table examples report the ?max values in brackets next to the hue; the wavelength
is given in nm.
