Description

EXAMPLE 1

(1) 8.62 g of 4,4′-diamino-biphenyl-2,2′-disulfonic acid were first dissolved in water at slightly acidic pH to give a complete solution. Ice was added to the solution and when temperature reaches 10 to 15° C., 10.6 ml of 5 N sodium nitrite solution were added dropwise into the 4,4′-diamino-biphenyl-2,2′-disulfonic acid solution. The reaction mixture was further cooled down to 0 to 8° C. using ice-salt-water bath. When temperature reached 0 to 8° C., the mixture was added dropwise into 12.38 g of concentrated HCl with 12 g of ice. Yellow suspension was formed and reaction mixture was completed within an hour.

(2) 13.21 g of a mixture of 2-amino-6-[3-(4-hydroxy-butoxy)-propylamino]-4-methyl-nicotinonitrile, 6-amino-2-[3-(4-hydroxy-butoxy)-propylamino]-4-methyl-nicotinonitrile, 2-amino-6-[2-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-ethylamino]-4-methyl-nicotinonitrile and 6-amino-2-[2-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-ethylamino]-4-methyl-nicotinonitrile were stirred in acidic water and added dropwise into the diazonium salt solution and stirred. Brilliant yellow precipitate was observed upon addition. Precipitate obtained was filtered off with suction and washed with brine giving an yellow product consisting of a mixture of the dyes 1aa.sup.154, 1ab.sup.154, 1aa.sup.2 and 1ab.sup.2. The analytic data are consistent with the assigned structure for the obtained products. The obtained products dye the targeted fibre materials in brilliant yellow shades.

(3) Through analogy, all the dyes of formulae (1aa.sup.1-1aa.sup.816) and (1ab.sup.1-1ab.sup.816) and mixtures thereof can be synthesized according to the method described above.

Dyeing Example 1

(4) 1 part of the above-mentioned yellow product was dissolved in 2000 parts of water and 1 part of levelling assistant (based on condensation product of a higher aliphatic amine and ethylene oxide) and 6 parts of sodium acetate were added. The pH was then adjusted to 5 using acetic acid (80%). The dyebath was heated to 50° C. for 10 minutes and than entered with 100 parts of a woven polyamide-6 fabric. The temperature was raised to 98° C. over the course of 50 minutes and then dyeing was carried out at this temperature for 60 minutes. This was followed by cooling to 60° C. and removal of the dyed material. The polyamide-6 fabric was washed with hot and cold water, soaped and then spun and dried. The dyeings obtained give yellow shades and have very good light and wet fastness and also good levelness in the fibre.

(5) 1 part of the above-mentioned yellow product was dissolved in 2000 parts of water and 1 part of levelling assistant (based on condensation product of a higher aliphatic amine and ethylene oxide) and 6 parts of sodium acetate were added. The pH was then adjusted to 5.5 using acetic acid (80%). The dyebath was heated to 50° C. for 10 minutes and then entered with 100 parts of a woven polyamide-6,6 fabric. The temperature was raised to 120° C. over the course of 50 minutes and then dyeing was carried out at this temperature for 60 minutes. This was followed by cooling to 60° C. and removal of the dyed material. The polyamide-6,6 fabric was washed with hot and cold water, soaped and then spun and dried. The dyeings obtained give yellow shades and have very good light and wet fastness and also good levelness in the fibre.

(6) 100 parts of polyamide-6 material were padded with a 1000 parts 50° C. liquor solution that consists of 40 parts of the above-mentioned yellow product, 100 parts of urea, 20 parts of a non-ionic solubilizer based on butyldiglycol, 20 parts of acetic acid to adjust the pH to 4.0, 10 parts of levelling assistant (based on ethoxylated aminopropyl fatty acid amide) and 810 parts of water. The material was rolled up and placed into a steaming chamber at 85 to 98° C. for 3 to 6 hours. After fixation, the fabric was washed with hot and cold water, soaped and then spun and dried. The dyeings obtained give yellow shades and have very good light and wet fastness and also good levelness in the fibre.

(7) 1 part of the above-mentioned yellow product was dissolved in 2000 parts of water and 5 parts of sodium sulphate, and 1 part of levelling assistant (based on condensation product of a higher aliphatic amine and ethylene oxide) and 5 parts of sodium acetate were added. The pH was then adjusted to 4.5 using acetic acid (80%). The dyebath was heated to 50° C. for 10 minutes and then entered with 100 parts of a woven wool fabric. The temperature was raised to 100° C. over the course of 50 minutes and then dyeing was carried out at this temperature for 60 minutes. This was followed by cooling to 90° C. and removal of the dyed material. The wool fabric was washed with hot and cold water, soaped and then spun and dried. The dyeings obtained give yellow shades and have very good light and wet fastness and also good levelness in the fibre.

Dyeing Example 5

(8) 1 part of the above-mentioned yellow product was dissolved in 1000 parts of soft water and 7.5 parts of sodium sulphate, and 1 parts of a wetting agent (anionic) were added. 100 part of bleached cotton knitted fabric was added to this solution. The dye bath was then heated up to 98° C. with a gradient of 2° C./min then dyeing was carried out at this temperature for 60 minutes. This was followed by cooling down to 80° C. At 80° C. the dyeing was continued for another 20 minutes. The dyed material was then removed and was washed with hot and cold water, soaped and then spun and dried. The dyeings obtained give yellow shades and have very good light and wet fastness and also good levelness in the fibre.

(9) 3 parts of the above-mentioned yellow product were dissolved in 82 parts of deionized water was added into the dyebath with 15 parts of diethylene glycol at 60° C. On cooling, a yellow printing ink was obtained. The yellow printing ink can be used for ink jet printing on paper, polyamide or wool textiles.

Dyeing Example 7

(10) 4 parts of chemically bleached (pine wood) sulphite pulp were mixed up with 100 parts of 55° C. water. 1 part of the above-mentioned yellow product was dissolved in 100 parts of hot water. 80 parts of this solution were given to the mixed-up pulp and mixed for 2 minutes. After that the mixture was sized with resin size in a conventional manner and mixed for another 2 minutes. 55 parts of this solution were then diluted with 2000 parts of cold water and the paper was produced out of this solution. The yellow paper produced from the mixture has good wet fastnesses.
