Abstract

Abstract of the disclosure:
A process for the preparation of xanthene dyestuffs of the general formula , (in which R1 and R2 are identical or different, each re-presenting an optionally substituted aliphatic or op-tionally substituted araliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical, or R1 represents also a hydrogen atom or a carbocyclic aromatic or heterocyclic radical, or R1 and R2 together with the N-atom form a heterocyclic radical optionally containing further hetero-atoms, the benzene nucleus A may optionally contain substituents, and m stands for the integer 1,2, 3, 4 or zero) had been found wherein the inner salt of a 3,6-dihalogeno-9-(2'-sulfophenyl)-xanthene-9-ol of the formula (in which X stands for a halogen atom and A has the above-mentioned meaning) is reacted with a primary or secondary amine of the formula , (in which R1 and R2 have the meanings specified as above) in a polar solvent which is free from acid groups;
to obtain the sulfo compounds, the product is subsequently sulfonated. The improvement in this process is to carry out the reaction of the xanthenol with the amine in stoichio-metrical amounts and in the presence of an inorganic acid-binding agent and/or an acid-binding tertiary aliphatic or cycloaliphatic amine, of pyridine or of a pyridine deri-vative. The novel process has the advantage of yielding dyestuffs of high quality with a strong color intensity and brilliancy, a high fastness to light and a uniform dyeing behaviour. Furthermore, the dyestuffs are obtained in very good yields avoiding the high charge of the waste water of present processes of the dyestuff itself or its starting components used in excess.

Description

~6~6 The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation o~ xan-thene dyestuf~s.
In German Patent Speci~ications Nos. 848 231 and 895 041, a process for the preparation of xanthe~e dyestuffs has been described, according to which the inner salt of a 9-(2'-sulfo-phenyl)-xanthene-9 ol compound and/or the derivatiYes thereof containing ~urther substituents in -the sulfophenyl radical and having exchangeable atoms or groups in the 3,6-positions9 a~e reacted with primary or secondary amlnes, and the dyestu~fs obtained are optionally sulfonated. According to this method, acid wool dyestu~fs having good fastness properties are ob-tained.
Particularly good dyestuffs are obta.ined according to this process, if the inner salts of -the ~76~dihalogen~-~2'-sulfo-~
phenyl)-xanthene~9 ols are used aæ starting products, th~
rcaction being carried out in such a way that the xanth~nol cornpo~d is reacted with a stron~ly excess amount o~ the amine, while using the same amine or ano-ther polar compound as solvent.
The hydro-hali.de set ~ree in the course of this reaction is bound by the excess amine as salt. This salt, the excess free amine as well as the solvent which has optionally been used, are washed out with an aqueous acid after the reaction has b~en completed. However, the amine and, optionally, the ~olvent can only partl~llly be soparated .~rom the waste water which rernains a~ter the d~estuf~ has been fil-tered o~f, which leads to a considerable loss o~ material as well as to a high c~lar~e o~ ~he w~ste wa-t~r.
According to the kno~ processes, it is also possible to 29 carry out the reaction in such a way that the xanthenol . ~ 2 - ~

~ 86 compound is reacted with a strongly excess amount of aromatic or aliphatic sulfonic acids and/or carboxylic acids which carry primary or secondary amino groups, or with the sodium salts thereof in polar. solvents. The hydro-halide set free in the cou~s~ of th-s rQ~ct~ f^rms ~nm, the snd~-1m ~lt-c on-t~on~llv used the free sul~onic -and/or carboxylic acids. It becomes evident by this process that these ~ree acids, in contra-distinction to the salts, have a reactivity that has been very strongly reduced. For this reason it is necessary to use high molar excess a~ounts of amine when the free acids as well as the salts are used. In spite of this fact it is often not possible to obtain a complete exchange of the two halogen atoms.
However; the proportions of the xanthydrol compound, which only exchanged one halogen atom and remciins in the reaction product, result in a deterioration of the dyestuff qu~lity~
owing to their low color intensity, their strongly deviating shades, their extremely low brilliancy, their very poor fast-ness to light, and their different dyeing behavior.
Besides, the drawback that the components used in a high excess amount remain either in the product or in the waste water is undesirable in either case, since the dyeing behavior (tinctorial strength, af~inity to the fiber~ build--up) is deteriorated, or the charge o~ the waste water is stron~ly increased, which is in any case accompanied by a considerable loss of material~
I-~ ha~ llOW been ~ou~d that these dra~backs in the pre-parat.ion of xanthene dyestu~fs of the ~reneral formula (I) ~649~6 I/N ~ ~ N~

~Rl HN~ (III) (in which Rl and R2 have the meanings specified as above) .~

in a polar solvent, and optionall~ sulfonating the product sub-sequentl~, can be avoided if the reaction of the xanthenol o~
the formula (II) with the amine of the formula (III) is ef fected in a stoichiometrical amount and in the presence o~ an in~ liC ~cid~ ig h~ a'~û~ Gl a~ acld-bi~d~g tart & - y aliphatic amine or a N-containing heterocyclic, pre.~erably aromatic, compound.
As subs~i-tuents in the benzene nucleus A there are to be ~entioned, ~or example, halogen atoms, such as chlorirle and brom~ne atoms, alkyl groups having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms~
alkoxy groups ha~ing ~rom 1 to 5 carbon atoms, aryl radicals, such as the phenyl radical optionally containing substit~lents, hydroxy, carboxylic acid or carbalkoxy groups having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, carbonamide, sulfonic acid, sulfonamide, B-hydroxy-ethylsulfonyl and ~-sulfa~o-ethylsulfonyl groups.
If the nucleus A carries hydroxy and carboxy ~roups at the same time, this compound of the ~ormula (I) and/or (II) may also be presen-t as a complex metal compound.
The process of the invention is carried out in such a way that 1 mole o~ the xanthenol compound is reacted w.ith 2 to about 2.2 moles o~ the amine in a polar solvent ~ree ~rom acid groups, at an elevated temperature, and ~he hydrohalic acid ~e~ ~ree in the course oP the reaction is bound by adding a~ amount ~.~ the acid-binding a~ent which is at least equi-valent to the amount o~ ~he hgdrohalic acid.
As prl~ar~ or secondary aliphatic, arali.phatic, cyclo~
aliphatic, aroma-tic or heterocyclic amines o~ the ~ormula (XII), ~here may be mentioned, ~or example:
29 Mono- or dialkylamines ha~ing ~rom 1 to 6 carbon atoms in H~E 74/~` ~8 69L9.'lG
each alkyl radical, such as methyl-, ethyl-9 propyl-, butyl-, isopropyl-, or pentylamine, dimethyl-, diethyl-, dipropyl-, or dibutylamine, optionally with substituents in the alkyl radical, such as hydroxy or cyano groups, lower alkoxy, lower c~balko.~3, sul40r.~c ao-~- or o~boY31ic ~oi A gr~Upc; cyo1O-aliphatic amines, such as, for example, cyclopentylamine and cyclohexylamine, araliphatic amines 9 such as phenethylamine 9 benzylamine and benzylethylamine; aromatic amines, such as, ~or example, aniline or N-(alkyl 1-4)-anilines and the deri-vatives thereof which are substituted in the alkyl radical by halogen, such as chlorine, lower alkoxy groups~ lower carb-alkoxy, hydroxy or cyano groups J and/or in the benzene nucleus by halogen atoms, such as chlorine or bromine atoms, lower alk~l groups, such as methyl, ethyl or propyl groups9 lower alkoxy groups, such as methoxy9 ethoxy or propoxy groups, lower carbalkoxy, sulfonamide or hydroxy groups, sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid groups, B-hydroxyethylsul~onyl, ~-sul~ato-ethylsulfonyl, or nitro groups; naphthylamines~ amino-anthra-quinones; 5- or 6-membered heterocycllc amines9 such as amino~
thiazoles, aminopyrazoles, aminotriazole~, aminopyridine~ a~d the benzoderivatives thereo~9 morpholine, piperidine and piperazine.
If the amines contain ~ulfonic acid groups, they are suitably used in the form of their salts, for example as sodium or potassium salt. If the ~ree sulfonic acid or carb-oxylic acid ls used, a corre~ponding amount of the acid-binding agent is additionally added~ which is capable o~ con-verting the acids in-to the corresponding salts.
29 As solvents, there may be used water, as ~ell as orga~ic _E _ 4/F 386 .

compounds, such as ~or example, methanol 9 ethanol, propanol, butanol 9 glycol, glycerin, diglycol, polyglycols, alkylgylcols~
phenylglycol, alk~lpolyglycols, benzylalcohol, propylene~glycols~
acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone-2, di-meth,Tlacetamide; dimethv1Sul~oxide or mixtures of these solvents. The amount of the solvent used depends on the vis-cosity of the reaction mass. The solvent is suitably used i~
an amount which is just sufficient to keep the reaction mass, which is present as a homogeneous solution or fine suspension9 in a condition so as to be stirred easily.
As acid-binding inorganic agents there are suitable, for example5 ox.idesJhydroxides~ carbonates, hydrogenocarbonates, acetates~ borates or phospha-tes of alkali metals or alkaline earth metal.s or of ammonia, such as calcium or magnesium oxide, sodium, potassium, calcium or magne~ium hydro~ide, sodi.um or potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate 9 sodium acetate, borax or di or trisodium phosphate, moreover, aluminum oxide or -hydroxide.
Of the organic compounds~ there may be mentioned as tert.iary aliphatic amines, ~or example, triethylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, dicyclohex~let~ylamine or triethanolamine, and as N-containing heterocyclic compounds, ~or example, pyridinè
or ~uinolin~. IThe acid-bind-ing agen-t is u5~d in a stoichio-metrical amount or in a slight excess amount, i.e. per mole o~
xan~henol compound 2 moles o~ acid-binding agent are required.
I~ in the reactlon primary or secondary amines are used which contain free sul~onic acid groups, at least 4 moles of acid--~ binding agent are required as ~ar as the amines contain ¢ne 29 ~ulfonic acid group.

HOE ?4!F 386 1~i493L6 The reaction temperature, as well as the reaction time, depends on the re~ctivi~y of the amine used and may be in the range of from about 20C to about 180C. If the reaction te~perature required is above the boiling point of the solvent used, tne reac-tion may also be carried out under increaseu pressure.
The following method of operation is particularly ad-~antageous which involves but a slight charge of the waste water:
I~ an ~mount o~ glycol which is just suf~icient as solvent, and magnesium oxide as acid-binding agent are used, a hetero-geneous reaction mass which can well be stirred is obtained in most cases, in which mass the xanthenol compound after it has been bilaterally reacted is almost completely insoluble, whereas the xan-theno-l compound which has been unila-terally reacted and may still be present in a small amount, as well as various impurities which have been introduced together with the starting materialst are very well soluble. After the reaction has b~en cornpleted, the dyestuff is suction-filtere~
and is freed ~rom glycol and from the magnesium chloride forrned b~ washing with a little water. The glycol mother li-~uor and the wash water are combined and are .~reed :~rom th~
small amo~t o~ precipltate forrned a~ter their combina-tion J
by way of a clari~ying ~iltration. The remaining glycol-water ~5 mixture may be used for the next reaction mixture instead of fresh glycol, the wat~r being eliminated by distillation be~ore or during the react.ion. B~ way o~ this method, only the desired xanthene dyes-tuf~ which has been bilaterally 2g reacted9-as well as a small amount of a solid clari.~ying resi.due are obtained as the products of the total reaction mixture.
There is no charge of the waste water by inorganic or organic compounds.
The working-up o~ the reaction mass may also be effected in such a way that the mass is introduced into water by stir-ring and the precipitated product is directly suction-filtered9 or that~ with the use of water as reaction medium, the dyestuf~
is salted out from the aqueous dyestuff solution and is sub-sequently suction-filtered and dried, or that the entire reaction mixture is evaporated to dryness, or the dyestuf~ is isolated by spray-drying.
The dyestuffs obtaînable according to the invention have a high degree of purity which leads to an increased brilliancy o.~ the dyeings prepared with them. By way o~ a subsequent sulfonation, ~urther sul.~o groups may optionally be introduced into the dyestu~fs, which results in a better water-solubility.
The dyestu~.~s as well as their sul~onation products dye wool and silk as well as synthetic ~ibers carrying basic groups, such as, .for example, polyamide ! modified polyes~er and poly-acrylonitrile fibers or regenerated protein fibers in bright red to blue color shadesc ~he dyeings are distinguished by remarkable ~astness prop0rties, o~ whlch there are to be meIItioned~ in particul~r, the f~stness to ligh~ ~o alkalis, to carboniæing and to decating. The dyestuf~s can be applied aocording to the known dyeing processes and show an excellent levelling capac.ity, 0~ the dye~tu~fs which can be prepared according to the invention, there are to be mentioned particularly those in 29 which in the general ~ormula I R1 and R~ are identical or _ g _ 3~6 different and each represents an aliphatic, araliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical optionally substituted, ~or example, by halogen atoms, such as chlorine or bromine atoms, hydroxy or alkoxy groups, in particular those having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms9 amino, cyano, carboxylic acid- and/or SUil~ ac-iu groups, the radical being for example an alkyl radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a phenylalkyl radical optionally being substituted in the benzene nucleus and carrying from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl portion, or a cyclohexyl or cyclop~ntyl radical, or R1 may also represent a hydrogen atom or a carbocyclic aromatic radical, such as a phenyl or naphthyl radical, or a heterocyclic radical, each may be substituted for example by halogen atoms, such as chlorine or bromine atoms, alkyl groups, especially those having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy group~, especially those with 1 to 4 carbon a~oms, hydroxy, amino, alkylamino groups, parti.cularly those having ~rorn 1 to 4 carbon atorns, dialkylamino groups, especially with alkyl radicals ha~ing each 1 to 4 carbon a-toms, nitrile, carb-oxylic acid, carbo~ylic acid ester groups, such as carboxylic ~n acid phenyl and carboxylic acid alkyl ester groups havin~ ~rom
