BACKGROUND OF THE_INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention This invention relates to the field of chemistxy and more particularly to novel acid addition salts of poly(N-substi-tuted sulfonamido) phthalocyanines useful as direct dyes, par-ticularly in the dyeing of cellulose, to storage-stable concen-trated aqueous dye compositions prepared therefrom; and to pro:
cesses for preparing said phthalocyanines, said acid addition salts and said storage-stable concentrated aqueous dye solutions.
(b) Description of the Prior Art A class of organic compounds known as direct dyes are known to be useful as dyeing agents for paper and fabrics. Among this group of organic compounds there are named phthalocyanine~
and their acid addition ~alts. However, heretofore Xnown phthalo-cyanines and their known acid addition salts have suffered from a number of deficiencie3 when employed as dyes for coloring cel-lulose in the form of bleached pulp of the type ysed for the man-u~acture of household paper goods such as paper napkins~ paper toweling, facial ti~sueC and so forth. Thus~ they have been found to undesirably bleed out of paper products colored with them when the article is brought into contact with common household solu-tions~ for example~ water~ milk~ soapy solutions, detergent solu-tions~ alcoholic beverages, vinegar, rubbing alcohol and so forth~
They have also been found to have relatively poor substantivity to ~ 16S7~) bleached pulp and have suffered from a low rate and degree of exhaust from dyeing solutions containing them. They have also been found to have a relatively poor degree of color discharge when bleached with hypochlorite or "chlorine" bleach. There is thus a need for water-soluble phthalocyanine dyestuffs for coloring bleached pulp which have a high bleed resistance, good substantivity, a high rate and a high degree of exhaust from aqueous dyeing solutions in which they are utilized, and a high degree of color discharge when bleached with hypochlorite or "chlorine" bleach.

The term "phthalocyanine" is used herein in the generic sense to mean the cla~s of tetraazoporphins in which each of four I -14_ t~

7~n D.N. 8111 pyrrole nuclei is fu~ed to an aromatic nucleus, e.g. that of benzene. Phthalocyanine itself (tetrabenæotetraazoporphin) i~ a well-known example of the class, and the prefixed term ~copperu means that the phthalocyanine contains a copper ion in complex combination.
The terms ~complexed acid molecules", "complexed hydro-chloric acid molecules", ~complexed methanesulfonic acid moleculec"~
"complexed acetic acid molecules" and ~complexed glyc~lic acid molecules" are used herein to mean that the respective acid mole-cules are present in the dyestuff molecule in the form of acidaddition adducts. It will, of course, be understood that the pre-cise type of bonding will depend on the condition in which the dye-stuff molecule exists, that is, as a discrete solid or dissolved in solution. Thus, ii the former, it would be expected that the acidic materials would be bound by quaternization of primary, secon-dary and tertiary amino substituents of the aminoalXylenesulfonam-ido tail chain~ while in the latter, it would be expected although the aminoalkylenesulfonamido substituents would also by predomi-nantly in the quaternized form, some dissociation is possible in such an "acid-base" system.
It i5 well known by those ~killed in the art of phthalo-cyanine chemi~try that synthetic processe~ for the chlorosulfonation of phthalocyanine molecules almost invariably produce mixtures of 3ubstituted products rather than~a single product having a specific number of substituent~. This is, of cour~e, the case with the in-~tant compounds. The methods of chlorosulfonation of the phthalo-cyanines are known and usually give mixture of chlorosulfonated product~ comprising~ for example, bis-, tris- and tetrachlorosul-fonates. The fact that mixtures are obtained and not a single com-pound i~ not in any way deleterious to the use of the products as ..:

7 6 () D.N. 8111 dyestuffs~ The procedures taught in U.S. Patent No. 2,86~,875 which have been followed to produce the requisite metal phthalo-cyanine sulfonic acid chloride dye~tuff intermediates herein, as would be expected have been found to produce mixture-~ of substi-tuted phthalocyanine molecules. Accordingly, the terms liXe zeroto one, one to three, one to five, and the like adopted in the claims and in the disclosure to describe the number of N-substituted sulfonamido and sulfonic acid substituents on the subject phthalo-cyanines as well as the number of complexed acid molecules mean~
the average number of said substituents per molecule of phthalo-cyanine. The ~eaning of these terms may be illustrated with refer-ence to the amount or number of sulfonic acid substituents which are introduced into the phthalocyan1ne compounds as a result of hydroly-sis of the sulfonic acid c~loride portion of the molecule both dur-ing isolation from its reaction mass and during the interaction ofthe sulfonic acid chloride with an appropriate amine in an aqueous medium to obtain the desired phthalocyanine sulfonamido derivative.
It i8 obvious that there cannot be 0.5 of a sulfonic acid substitu-ent on the phthalocyanine molecule. This figure is, of course, an average value which results from the presence in the mixture of phthalocyanine molecules having either zero or one sulfonic acid substituent.
The instant novel acid addition salt forms of the poly-(N-sub~tituted sulfonamido) copper phthalocyanine dyestuffs provide shades of turquoise. They have valuable properties as water-soluble direct dyes useful in the dyeing art for coloring natural fibers, synthetic fiber-forming materials and cellulose materials such a~
threads, sheets, filament~, textile fabrics and the liXe as well as in the manufacture of paper, varnishes, ink~, coatings and pla~-tics. Further the free base forms of the polv(N-substituted sulfon-amido) copper phthalocyanines including the poly N-[2-(2-oxo-imida-zolidin-l-yl)ethyl] sulfonamido derivative are useful as pigments and as pigment additlves.

I lB~7S() D.N. 8111 The mixtures of poly~N-substituted sulfonamido1 copper phthalocyanines and the water-soluble acid addition salts thereof of this invention are characterized by good lightfastness. The mixtures of the phthalocyanines in the form of their water-~olu-ble acid addition salts are useful as dyes for dyeing operations,and in the water-insoluble free-base form as well as their acid addition salt forms as pigments for printing operations on woven and non-woven substrates made from natural fibers, such as wool, cellulose or linen, those made from semi-synthetic fibers, such as regenerated cellulose as represented by rayon or viscose, or those made from synthetic fibers, such as polyaddition, polycon-densation or polymeri~ation compounds. Such dyeings or printings can be carried out in accordance with the usual dyeing and print-ing processes.
The mixtures of the poly(~-substituted sulfonamido) copper phthalocyanines and their acid addition salt forms of this invention are al~o suitable for surface coloring or printing paper products and cardboard as well as for coloring paper pulps. Moreover, they are useful for incorporation into lacquers and films of various constitution~ for example, those made from cellulose acetate, cel-lulose propionate~ polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamides, polyesters of alkyd resins. In addition, the subject compounds are suitable for coloring natural or synthetic resins, for example~ acryllc resins, epoxy resins, polyester resins, vinyl resins~ polystyrene resins, or alkyd resins.
The mixtures of poly(N-substituted sulfonamido) copper phthalocyanines are readily converted to the corresponding water-soluble dyes by treatment in an aqueous solution containing from 0.5 to 10 equivalents of one or more of an inorganic acid, ali-phatic or hydroxyaliphatic carboxylic acid and alkanesulfonic acid ' 1 ~6~7~) D.N. 8111 selected from the group consiqting of hydrochlor~c, hydrobromic, acctic, propionic, glycolic, 3-hydroxypropionic, lactic, methane-sulfonic and ethanesulfonic aclds.
The mixtures of the acid addition salt forms can be iso-lated from the aqueous solution in which they are formed by tech-niques well known in the art, for example, by salting out, preci-pitation or concentration by evaporation. However, the mixtures of water-soluble dyes thus formed are readily utilized in the form of aqueous solutions for many of their applications, especially for dyeing cellulose. Accordingly, it is particularly preferred to retain the mixtures of dyes in a concentrated aqueous solution of the type regularly employed in the paper industry for dyeing paper products.
The acid addition salt forms are especially valuable dye~
for imparting stable turquoise blue shades to paper both sized and unsi~ed. For use in the paper trade, the mixtures of the acid addi-tion ~alt forms of this invention have several outstanding advan-tages. Their high degree of water-~olubility makes them particu-larly suitable for the preparation of liquid dye concentrates which are preferred in the paper industry. The use of concentrated a~ue-ous solutions is particularly advantageous in view of the increasing trend toward automation, since these solutions are conveniently handled and added to the pulp slurry in accurately measured amounts by mean~ of pump and meters. The subject aqueous dye concentrates are particula~ly suited to metered dyeing operations because they have low visco~ity which remains essentially unchanged over long periods under ordinary storage conditions. Their low viscosity pro-vides another advantage in that they dissolve readily in the pulp slurry and prevent specking or blotching seen when more viscous dye concentrates are used. A further advantage of the concentrated a~ueou-q solutions is that of convenience in shipping and handling.

"

6576() D.N. 8111 In shipping and in u~e, the high degree of solubility of the acid addition salt orms permit handling of solution~ containing a higher dye content and results in a desirable decrease in the weight and volume of solution per amount of dye. Furthermore, the concentrated aqueous dye solutions are more convenient for the paper mills in that the handling of dry dye, with the con-comitant dusting and caking problems a~sociated with dissolving the dye prior to its addition to the pulp slurry are eliminated.
The subject dye~ constitu~ing the mixtures of my inven-tion are also less prone to ~bleed" when paper impregnated there-with is wet and placed in contact with moist white paper. Thi~
is a particularly desirable property for dyes designed for color-ing paper to be used in facial tissues, napkins, paper towels and the like wherein it càn be foreseen that the colored paper, wetted with common household liquids such as water, soap and detergent solutions, milk, carbonated and alcoholic beverages, vinegar, rub-bing alcohol, and so forth, may come in contact with other surface~, such as textiles, paper and the liXe which should be protected from 8tain. Another advantageous property of the~e new mixtures of ~0 water-soluble dyes for use in the paper trade is found in their high degree of color discharge when bleached with hypochlorite or "chlorine" bleach. This property of the mixtures of the acid addi-tion salt forms is particularly desired by papermakers in order that dyed paper may be completely bleached prior to reproces~ing.
Still another advantageous property of the mixtures of water soluble dyestuffs of thls invention is found in their hi~h re-sistance to a change of shade when used to color cellulosic ma-terials, which have either previously been treated with or are treated sub~equent to dyeing , with wet-strength resin.

lg .~, ~ 7Sn D.N. 8111 I have also Eound that the dye~ of this invention have a high de~ree of substantivity for bleached fiber such as is used in most colored disposable paper products. Moreover, they are ab-sorb~d by cellulosic fibers from aqueous solution at a very rapid rate. These properties are advantageous to the paper industry, because it allows the dye to be added to the pulp just prior to formation of the sheet.

Agitation wa~ continued for approximately fifteen minutes prior to dilution with water to a volume of four liters wlth agitation. The dyed pulp was then formed into an 8 by 8 inch square of paper by means of a filter-box. The paper sheet wa~

pressed between two blotters and then dried at 180F for four min-utes between two fresh dry blotters to yield a uniformly dyed tur-quoise paper sheet.

116$76n D.N. 8111 B. Sized Paper Grade~:
With stirring 30 ml of the 0.1 percent stock dye ~olu-tion was added to 100 g of an aqueous slurry containing 3 percent of bleached kraft pulp (600 Canadian Standard Freeness). After approximately three minutes of stirring, 5.0 g of a 1.5 percent water solution of papermaXer~s alum was added. Stirring wa~ con-tinued for approximately fifteen minutes before it was diluted to four liters with water and the pH adjusted to 5.0 with dilute sulfuric acid. The dyed fiber slurry was drawn into an 8 by 8 inch square of paper and dried as described in part A above.

TESTING PROCEDU~ES
The following test procedures were employed to determine the resistance of the dyestuffs to bleed in moist paper, to bleed from paper in the presence of soap or milk, and to bleaching witb hypochlorite bleach.

Water "Bleed" Test This procedure is a modification of the AATCC Standard Test Method 15-1962, "Colorfastness to Perspiration~.
Test pieces consisting of four plies, each one inch square, are cut from the dyed paper to be tested. One or more dyed papers of known dye migration quality are included in the test series as standards.
The absorbent material consists of filter paper having a relatively smooth finish (Whatman ~1, 4.25 cm. dia. equivalent).
Z5 ln addition, smooth, flat, glass or clear plastic plates of ade-quate stiffness, measuring two inches wide and three inches long, are required as separating plates. A 1000 gram weight serves as a dead weight loading.

:

~LBS7B~
D.N. 8111 Four filter paper absorbent pieces are u~ed for each dyed paper test square, two for each s~de.
The migration test "sandwich" i9 constructed as fol-1OWA. A separating plate is placed on a horizontal support and two pieces of the filter paper placed centrally on this plate with the smoother side up. The square dyed paper test piece~, held by tweezers, are immersed in tap water at room temperature for five ~econds, drained for five seconds, and immediately cen-tered on the filter paper. Immediately, two pieces of filter paper are centered on the test square and followed at once by another ~eparating plate. Thi5 "sandwich" is pressed for a mo-ment with the fingers, after which, without delay, a piece of filter paper is positioned on the top separating plate as before to receive a second test square of wetted dyed paper. The above lS procedure is then repeated as rapidly as possible and without lnterruption, stacklng one "sandwich" on the othér, until all dyed paper test piece~ have been put under te~t.
As soon as a stack is completed, a 1000 gram weight i8 centered on the top separating plate. The stack is allowed to stand at room temperature (75F) for flfteen minutes.
At the end of the migration period, the stacX is di~-assembled, and each dyed paper test square and its filter paper absorbonts clipped to a supporting card. A separate card is used fôr each te~t square. The dyed paper test squares and filter papers are air dried at room temperature for at leaqt two hours (in the dark) before ranking. Relative degrees of dye migration, as compared to that from standard samples, are determined by visual rating~, in daylight, of the intensity of dye stain on the filter paper surface~ which had been in contact with the test square.

, -3~_ , ~

l1~$7~n D.N. 8111 Soap_~leed Test This procedure utilizes the ~ame method employed in the Water-~leed Test described above~ except that the dyed paper test squares are immersed in a 0.5 percent tap water solution of white soap flakes (a mixture of 80 percent sodium soap and 20 percent potas~ium soap produced from 70 percent tallow and 30 A percent coconut oil glyceride blend; ~Ivory~ brand, Proctor and Gamble Co.) at 120F, instead of water alone.
Milk-Bleed Test This procedure utilizes the same method employed in the water-bleed test described above, except that the dyed paper squares are immersed in room temperature homogenized milk instead of water.

Bleach Te~t This procedure compares the degree to which the color of dyed pape~rs would be discharged in a waste paper recovery operation employing hypochlorite bleach.
A preliminary estimate of bleachability is obtained by placing a dxop of hypochlorite bleach, containing 2.5 percent available chlorine on the dyed paper and allowing it to dry at room temperature. From this test, both rate and degree of bleach-ing are estimated.
A more accurate test, approximating paper mill proce-dure, is performed by defibering three grams of dyed paper in 150 ml of distilled water using a kitchen blender. The defibered pulp slurry is placed in a jar and hypochlorite is adde* to the extent desired, usually 2.5 percent available chlorine based on the weight of the dry fiber. The slurry consisting of pulp and hypochlorite is adjusted to pH 9 with dilute sulfuric acid or dilute aqueou~ solution of sodium hydroxide and placed in a water bath to maintain the interval in the temperature range of 115F

~ Tr~e ~ a~k~ _33_ -1 16$7fi~ D.N. 8111 to 125F. After the te~t i~ started, the jar is loo~ely capped.
~t five minute intervals, the cap is tightened and the jar in-verted twice to circulate the liquor. The cap is loosened between inversions. After twenty minutes, the p~ is checked, and if higher S than 7.5, is adjusted thereto. The test is then continued for an additional twenty minutes (with five minutes between inversions).
The terminal pH is generally found to ~e 6.0-6.5. An excess of sodium thiosulfate is added as an antichlor, mixed for five min-uteY and the slurry is diluted to a concentration of approximately 0.3 percent of fiber. Sheets are then prepared at pH 7 without a washing step. Finally, this sheet is pressed and dried in a ~
paper dryer. Control dyeings at specific levels can then be made to accurately determine the loss of strength of color on bleach-ing.
