Description
This inv:ention relates to colorants. More particularly, it concerns a family of red colorants which find special application as red colorants for edibles.
FD~C Red #2, a monoazo dye of the formula HO SO3Na N 03 ~ N = ~
S03Na commonly known as Amaranth, was among the most widely used colors in foods, drugs and cosmetics. In 1975 these uses were prohibited in the United States when the Food and Drug Administration ruled that the dye's safety was questionable. The removal from commerce of this compound has left a great need. Edibles such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry-flavored gelatin desserts, beverages, candies and jams, and nonedibles such as inks and dyes were formulated around the particular tint and hue of this color. Several replacement colors have been proposed but have not been fully acceptable.
For example, FD~C Red #40, another monoazo dye which has the formula NaO3S~ ~ O ~ N = N

3,920,855, issued November 18, 1975 to Dawson et al~ ha~ing colors in polymeric ~orm can be advantageous. ~Jhen polymer~c colors are used in edibles, if the s~ze o~ the molecules of polymeric color exceeds a certain limit - usually a molecular size of from about laO0 to 2aoo Daltons ~ and if the color compounds do not break down and khus mainta~n this size, the polymeric colors are not absorbed through the walls of the ~as~
trointestinal tract. This means that ~hen such mater~als are eaten, they essent~ally pass dlrectly through the gastrointest~
inal tract. They are not taken into the body or its systemic circulation and thus any risk of poss~le systemic toxicity is-ellminated.
According to the invention, there is provided a compound of the formula O X
~ NH 3 ~/0 wherein Rl and R2 are independently selected rom the group of hydrogen, halos of atomic number g through 53, inclusive, lower alkyls and lower alkoxies of from l to 3 carbon atoms, nitros, and sulfonates and wherein X
is a halo of atomic number 17J through 53 inclusive or -NR3R~, wherein R3 and R4 are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or lower alkyl sulfonate of l to 4 carbon atoms.
Preferred colors of this invention are those in which R3 is hydrogen and R~ is hydrogen, alkyl or alkyl sulfonate.
This application is a divisional of our copending application Serial No. 293J227~ filed December 16, 1977, which relates to polymeric ; colorants having the formula \ / n wherein Rl and R are independently selected from the group of hydrogen, halos of atomic number 9 througk 53 inclusiveJ lower alkyls and lower alkoxies of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, nitro, and~ sui~onate; R3 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl oE 1 to 3 carbon atoms, B is an organic polymeric backbone attached to N by a covalent bond and characterized as having essentially no crosslinks and containing only covalent bonds stable under the acidic, basic and enzymatic conditions o:E the mammalian gastrointestinal tract; and n is a number from 10 to 4000.
The remaining three positions on khe pendant non-fused aromatic ring to which Rl and R2 are co~alently bonded carry hydrogens. Rl and R2 preferably are separately attached to the ring at the 2, 4 or 6 positions. Preferably, ~ Rl is hydrogen and R2 is selected from the class of sub-3 stituents set forth hereinabove. More preferably, Rl is ~ hydrogen and R2 is hydrogen, chIoro or methoxy.
s~ .
' In a most preferred color Rl and R2 are both ;, hydrogen. This is an excellent red. Surprisingly, the presence of the diverse range of other Rl and R2 substituents, varying from strongly electron withdrawing nitro groups to strongly electron donating alkoxy groups makes only minor differences in the shade of these colors. A group of pre-ferred colors having a single nonhydrogen substituent on the nonfused ring is shown in Table I.

ferred. These preferred backbones preferably have molecular weights o~ about 10,000 to about 150,000 Daltons and, in the case of the copolymer, an amine to sulfonate ratio of from 1:1 to 3:1O A polyvinylamine ~leeting this weight range has from about 200 to about 3000 units, a copolymer -- from about 60 to about 1800 amine unitsO The choice among back-bones often depends upon the degree of water solubility required of the final polymer colorant product. Polar groups such as carboxyls, phosphonates and especially sulonat~s are required in the pol~meric colorant to impart good water solu-bility properties. ~hen the color unit itself contains sul-fonates, i.e., when Rl and/or R2 axe sulfonates or alkyl sul-fonates, it-is not necessary to have these polar groups attached to the backbone as wellO When the color unit does not contain sulonate Rlls or R2's, good water solubilities, i.e., solubility in p~ 7 room temperature water of at least 1000 ppm, are achiPved only when a backbone containing polar groups -- such as the 29 copolymer backbones -- is employed.
The colors of this invention may be prepared by the following two routes. These routes are presented as exemplaxy methods and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of this invention.
The first route begins with l~amino-2-methyl-4-bromo-anthraquinone, a material marketed by Sandoz Color and Chemical ~ r~
- ~ under the tradc~e AMBAX, or made as in Example I.

~2 ~1 , This reaction is carried out in li~uid pha~e in a reactior-solvent. Suitable solvents include aprotic organic liqul~s especially cyclic and acyclic olefinically saturated aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, C6-Cg hydrocarbon mixed sol-vents, cyclic and acyclic ethers such as dimethoxyethane, P-~76 1,4 dioxane, diglyme, and the like~ This reaction is carried out at elevated temperatures such as from 50C to 150C with temperatures of ~rom 75C to 130C being preferred. In our work the atmospheric reflux temperature of the solvent has S been used. The reaction could be carried out under pressure to obtain higher temperatures if desiredO Reac ion time is inversely proportional to temperature. Reaction times of from a ~ew (3-5~ minutes to about 24 ~ours generally are employed. The following examples will aid in selecting times - and temperatures. At 50-80C, times of about 10-2~ hours are usually adequate~ At 110-115C, the re~ction appears complete in about 20-30 minutes with tiTnes of from 20 minutes to three hours being used; at 150C, 3 to 5 minutes are adequate. Generally, a slight molar excess of the 2cid halide is employed since it is the less expensive reactant. AMBAX/
acid halide ratios of 1:1 to 1:2.0 are generally preferred with ratio of 1:1.1 to 1:1.3 being most preferred.
This AMBAX addition product is then c~clized with baseO

R2 Rl !; R2 R
The base employed is not critical, any strong inorganic base such as NaOH, KOH or the like will work. From 0.5 to 2 equivalents ~basis colorant) of base may be used. This step is generally carried out at elevated temperatures such as 90C to 250C with temperatures of 90C to 200C being preferred. This step can immediately follow the acid halide addition step by adding base to the crude halide addition product and heating for from about five minutes to about 24 hours. At S0C 24 hours is a good reaction time, at 110-120C, 15 minutes to one hour are employed. At 175-200C, five minutes are employed. Otherwise, the halide addition product can be isolated by evaporation of solvent and crystallization and dissolved in fresh inert aprotic solvent such as those used for the addition and then treated with base. This more complicated method offers some yield advan~ages. Both methods yield the new colors O Br C~13 ~<~ ~
R2 Rl wherein Rl and R2 are as already defined. It will be appreciated that the Br substituent is present principally because the AMBAX starting material is a bromo compound. Other halo leaving groups (i.e., Cl , I ) are essentially equivalent. The examples which follow will show the preparation of such equivalent materials. This color may be urther reacted at this stage to introduce or change the Rl and R2 substituen~s. Particularly, sulfonate Rl's or R2's may be introduced at this stage by liquid phase contact with 100% H2S04 at 80-150C for 0.5 to 2 hours, or by treatment with 15-30% oleum at room temperature (18C~ to 50C for 0.5 to 5 hours.
The color is next coupled to an amine. This may be a R3-N-R4 monomeric amine as has been defined or it may be an amine group-containing polymer backbone as has been described above in connection with the invention of the parent application Serial No. 293,227. In this step the amine displaces the halo leaving group on the anthraquinone ring as follows:
Backbone + ll CH3 Nl - R3 R2 Rl R4 or Ba~Gkbone ¦ CH3 + HBr NH
R2 Rl ~2~
! P 176 This step is carried out in liquid phase as well, generally in a water or mixed water/organic solvent and ~ase and with a copper catalyst. This amine displacement is an adaption of the classic Ullmann reactionO
Water, and water containing up to abou-t ~5~ of a water-miscible organic, such as an alkanol or glycol (methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol and the like) 9 mono and dialkyl ethers cf ethylene glycols such as the materials marketed by Union Carbide undex the trademark Cellosolv~ , and liguid organic bases such as pyridine may be used a- solvent~ Water and water containing up to about 20~ pyridine are preferred solvents.
The copper catalyst useful for this coupling may be copper metal, a copper (preerably cuprousl salt or an oxide of copper, for example ~inely divided copper metal, Cu~C12, and Cu2O suppoxted on carbon black. A catalytically effeative amount of catalyst is employed. Such an amount oan ranye ~rom about 0.0I to about 0.5 equivalents (preferanly 0.05 to 0.4 ; equivalents) o copper per equivalent of reactive amine.
Base, especially a strong inorganic base such as NaOH or KOEI~
should be present in an amount in excess of the molar amount of chromophore being coupled. Preferably ~rom 0.5 to 5 equivalents ~basis-frQe amine) of base is present with amounts from 1 to 3 (especially about 2) equivalents giving best results. The coupling is effected at a temperature o~ from about 60C to about 200C, prefQrab]y 80C to about 150C, and a tim~ of from about 0.2 hoursto about 24 hours, preferably 0.5 hours to about 8 hours, dependlng upon the temperature.
-lS-This yields the coupled product R4 or ~ackbone O N-R
;` ~ ~
ll N~ 3 R2 Rl as a crude reaction mixture~ The desired product can be freed of catalyst and impurities as desired. It may also be subjected to post treatments such as acetylation or the like as desired.
The second preparative route is similar to the first. rrhe acid chloride is attached to the AMBAX in the same way. Then, however, instead of separately cyclizing the AMBAX addition product, the uncyclized addition product is coupled to the amine or amine-containing backbone with the conditions of the coupling also effecting cyclization. Economies of produc-tion may favor the second route, but yields and product purities are often somewhat higher with the longer process.
The products of this invention and that of the par~nt application ;~; are excellent red colors. Those containing polar groups in their chromo-~ phores or attached to their amines (i.e., when R4 or the backbone contains :
;' ~' a polar group) are water soluble. As solutions they present clear, brigh-t intense reds. When added in coloring amounts such as from 10 to 10,000 ppm wt, they bond to and dye fibers and other substrates.
The polymeric dyes present especially advantageous utilities as colorants for edibles. The polymer compounds wherein Rl and R2 are hydrogen are especially useful in this application as these materials are virtually a direct match in hue for now-banned Red #2. Ihe other polymeric members of this colorant family are good reds for foods~ blending well with yellows and blues to give the range of oranges, reds and grapes desired by the food industry.
For food use the colorants may be polymeric and of molecular weight above about 1000 Daltons, preferably above about 2000 Daltons so as to preclude their absorption through the walls o the G.I. tract.
In edible applications the polymeric colors are dissolved in beverages and syrups, dry mixed into powdered drink mix and cake mix, and otherwise conventionally admixed with foods~ beverages, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The amount of color used in these applications will range between about 10 ppm wt and about 1000 ppm wt, basis inished foocl, beverage, or pharmaceutical. Cosmetic uses may requ:ire higher use levels.

According to the invention, there is provided a compound of the formula O X
~ NH 3 ~/0 wherein Rl and R2 are independently selected rom the group of hydrogen, halos of atomic number g through 53, inclusive, lower alkyls and lower alkoxies of from l to 3 carbon atoms, nitros, and sulfonates and wherein X
is a halo of atomic number 17J through 53 inclusive or -NR3R~, wherein R3 and R4 are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or lower alkyl sulfonate of l to 4 carbon atoms.
Preferred colors of this invention are those in which R3 is hydrogen and R~ is hydrogen, alkyl or alkyl sulfonate.
This application is a divisional of our copending application Serial No. 293J227~ filed December 16, 1977, which relates to polymeric ; colorants having the formula \ / n wherein Rl and R are independently selected from the group of hydrogen, halos of atomic number 9 througk 53 inclusiveJ lower alkyls and lower alkoxies of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, nitro, and~ sui~onate; R3 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl oE 1 to 3 carbon atoms, B is an organic polymeric backbone attached to N by a covalent bond and characterized as having essentially no crosslinks and containing only covalent bonds stable under the acidic, basic and enzymatic conditions o:E the mammalian gastrointestinal tract; and n is a number from 10 to 4000.
The remaining three positions on khe pendant non-fused aromatic ring to which Rl and R2 are co~alently bonded carry hydrogens. Rl and R2 preferably are separately attached to the ring at the 2, 4 or 6 positions. Preferably, ~ Rl is hydrogen and R2 is selected from the class of sub-3 stituents set forth hereinabove. More preferably, Rl is ~ hydrogen and R2 is hydrogen, chIoro or methoxy.
s~ .
' In a most preferred color Rl and R2 are both ;, hydrogen. This is an excellent red. Surprisingly, the presence of the diverse range of other Rl and R2 substituents, varying from strongly electron withdrawing nitro groups to strongly electron donating alkoxy groups makes only minor differences in the shade of these colors. A group of pre-ferred colors having a single nonhydrogen substituent on the nonfused ring is shown in Table I.

Polar groups such as carboxyls, phosphonates and especially sulonat~s are required in the pol~meric colorant to impart good water solu-bility properties. ~hen the color unit itself contains sul-fonates, i.e., when Rl and/or R2 axe sulfonates or alkyl sul-fonates, it-is not necessary to have these polar groups attached to the backbone as wellO When the color unit does not contain sulonate Rlls or R2's, good water solubilities, i.e., solubility in p~ 7 room temperature water of at least 1000 ppm, are achiPved only when a backbone containing polar groups -- such as the 29 copolymer backbones -- is employed.
The colors of this invention may be prepared by the following two routes. These routes are presented as exemplaxy methods and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of this invention.
The first route begins with l~amino-2-methyl-4-bromo-anthraquinone, a material marketed by Sandoz Color and Chemical ~ r~
- ~ under the tradc~e AMBAX, or made as in Example I.

~2 ~1 , This reaction is carried out in li~uid pha~e in a reactior-solvent. Suitable solvents include aprotic organic liqul~s especially cyclic and acyclic olefinically saturated aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, C6-Cg hydrocarbon mixed sol-vents, cyclic and acyclic ethers such as dimethoxyethane, P-~76 1,4 dioxane, diglyme, and the like~ This reaction is carried out at elevated temperatures such as from 50C to 150C with temperatures of ~rom 75C to 130C being preferred. In our work the atmospheric reflux temperature of the solvent has S been used. The reaction could be carried out under pressure to obtain higher temperatures if desiredO Reac ion time is inversely proportional to temperature. Reaction times of from a ~ew (3-5~ minutes to about 24 ~ours generally are employed. The following examples will aid in selecting times - and temperatures. At 50-80C, times of about 10-2~ hours are usually adequate~ At 110-115C, the re~ction appears complete in about 20-30 minutes with tiTnes of from 20 minutes to three hours being used; at 150C, 3 to 5 minutes are adequate. Generally, a slight molar excess of the 2cid halide is employed since it is the less expensive reactant. AMBAX/
acid halide ratios of 1:1 to 1:2.0 are generally preferred with ratio of 1:1.1 to 1:1.3 being most preferred.
This AMBAX addition product is then c~clized with baseO

R2 Rl !; R2 R
The base employed is not critical, any strong inorganic base such as NaOH, KOH or the like will work. From 0.5 to 2 equivalents ~basis colorant) of base may be used. This step is generally carried out at elevated temperatures such as 90C to 250C with temperatures of 90C to 200C being preferred. This step can immediately follow the acid halide addition step by adding base to the crude halide addition product and heating for from about five minutes to about 24 hours. At S0C 24 hours is a good reaction time, at 110-120C, 15 minutes to one hour are employed. At 175-200C, five minutes are employed. Otherwise, the halide addition product can be isolated by evaporation of solvent and crystallization and dissolved in fresh inert aprotic solvent such as those used for the addition and then treated with base. This more complicated method offers some yield advan~ages. Both methods yield the new colors O Br C~13 ~<~ ~
R2 Rl wherein Rl and R2 are as already defined. It will be appreciated that the Br substituent is present principally because the AMBAX starting material is a bromo compound. Other halo leaving groups (i.e., Cl , I ) are essentially equivalent. The examples which follow will show the preparation of such equivalent materials. This color may be urther reacted at this stage to introduce or change the Rl and R2 substituen~s. Particularly, sulfonate Rl's or R2's may be introduced at this stage by liquid phase contact with 100% H2S04 at 80-150C for 0.5 to 2 hours, or by treatment with 15-30% oleum at room temperature (18C~ to 50C for 0.5 to 5 hours.
The color is next coupled to an amine. This may be a R3-N-R4 monomeric amine as has been defined or it may be an amine group-containing polymer backbone as has been described above in connection with the invention of the parent application Serial No. 293,227. In this step the amine displaces the halo leaving group on the anthraquinone ring as follows:
Backbone + ll CH3 Nl - R3 R2 Rl R4 or Ba~Gkbone ¦ CH3 + HBr NH
R2 Rl ~2~
! P 176 This step is carried out in liquid phase as well, generally in a water or mixed water/organic solvent and ~ase and with a copper catalyst. This amine displacement is an adaption of the classic Ullmann reactionO
Water, and water containing up to abou-t ~5~ of a water-miscible organic, such as an alkanol or glycol (methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol and the like) 9 mono and dialkyl ethers cf ethylene glycols such as the materials marketed by Union Carbide undex the trademark Cellosolv~ , and liguid organic bases such as pyridine may be used a- solvent~ Water and water containing up to about 20~ pyridine are preferred solvents.
The copper catalyst useful for this coupling may be copper metal, a copper (preerably cuprousl salt or an oxide of copper, for example ~inely divided copper metal, Cu~C12, and Cu2O suppoxted on carbon black. A catalytically effeative amount of catalyst is employed. Such an amount oan ranye ~rom about 0.0I to about 0.5 equivalents (preferanly 0.05 to 0.4 ; equivalents) o copper per equivalent of reactive amine.
Base, especially a strong inorganic base such as NaOH or KOEI~
should be present in an amount in excess of the molar amount of chromophore being coupled. Preferably ~rom 0.5 to 5 equivalents ~basis-frQe amine) of base is present with amounts from 1 to 3 (especially about 2) equivalents giving best results. The coupling is effected at a temperature o~ from about 60C to about 200C, prefQrab]y 80C to about 150C, and a tim~ of from about 0.2 hoursto about 24 hours, preferably 0.5 hours to about 8 hours, dependlng upon the temperature.
-lS-This yields the coupled product R4 or ~ackbone O N-R
;` ~ ~
ll N~ 3 R2 Rl as a crude reaction mixture~ The desired product can be freed of catalyst and impurities as desired. It may also be subjected to post treatments such as acetylation or the like as desired.
The second preparative route is similar to the first. rrhe acid chloride is attached to the AMBAX in the same way. Then, however, instead of separately cyclizing the AMBAX addition product, the uncyclized addition product is coupled to the amine or amine-containing backbone with the conditions of the coupling also effecting cyclization. Economies of produc-tion may favor the second route, but yields and product purities are often somewhat higher with the longer process.
The products of this invention and that of the par~nt application ;~; are excellent red colors. Those containing polar groups in their chromo-~ phores or attached to their amines (i.e., when R4 or the backbone contains :
;' ~' a polar group) are water soluble. As solutions they present clear, brigh-t intense reds. When added in coloring amounts such as from 10 to 10,000 ppm wt, they bond to and dye fibers and other substrates.
The polymeric dyes present especially advantageous utilities as colorants for edibles. The polymer compounds wherein Rl and R2 are hydrogen are especially useful in this application as these materials are virtually a direct match in hue for now-banned Red #2. Ihe other polymeric members of this colorant family are good reds for foods~ blending well with yellows and blues to give the range of oranges, reds and grapes desired by the food industry.
For food use the colorants may be polymeric and of molecular weight above about 1000 Daltons, preferably above about 2000 Daltons so as to preclude their absorption through the walls o the G.I. tract.
In edible applications the polymeric colors are dissolved in beverages and syrups, dry mixed into powdered drink mix and cake mix, and otherwise conventionally admixed with foods~ beverages, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The amount of color used in these applications will range between about 10 ppm wt and about 1000 ppm wt, basis inished foocl, beverage, or pharmaceutical. Cosmetic uses may requ:ire higher use levels.
