Figure imgb0040
Mixtures of the following composition are preferred as component A of the compounds of the formulas 1-3:
Figure imgb0040

Besonders bevorzugt sind als Komponente A Mischungen der folgenden Zusammensetzung :

Figure imgb0041
wobei der Anteil der Verbindungen 1 und 3 in etwa gleich sein soll.Mixtures of the following composition are particularly preferred as component A:
Figure imgb0041
the proportion of compounds 1 and 3 should be approximately the same.

Der Anteil der einzelnen Verbindungen 1 bis 3 in der Komponente A kann innerhalb der angebenen Grenzen schwanken, wobei solche Mischungen bevorzugt sind, die die Verbindungen 1 und 3 in etwa gleichen Teilen enthalten. Aus den oben angegebenen Grenzen für die Gewichtsverhältnisse der Verbindungen 1 bis 3 ergibt sich, daß der Anteil der Verbindungen 1 und 3 0 % und der Anteil der Verbindung 2 100 % betragen kann. In diesem Fall liegt die reine Verbindung 2 vor. Es versteht sich, daß die Zusammensetzung der Komponente A innerhalb der verschiedenen, oben angegebenen Grenzen so gewählt wird, daß die Summe aller Einzelverbindungen 100 % ausmacht.The proportion of the individual compounds 1 to 3 in component A can fluctuate within the limits specified, preference being given to mixtures which contain the compounds 1 and 3 in approximately equal parts. From the limits given above for the weight ratios of compounds 1 to 3, it follows that the proportion of compounds 1 and 3 can be 0% and the proportion of compound 2 can be 100%. In this case there is pure connection 2. It is understood that the composition of component A is chosen within the various limits given above so that the sum of all individual compounds is 100%.

Das als Komponente A bezeichnete Gemisch wird hergestellt, indem man 1 Mol-Äquivalent einer Verbindung der Formel

Figure imgb0042
mit insgesamt 2 Mol-Äquivalent eines Gemisches aus den Verbindungen
Figure imgb0043
und
Figure imgb0044
umsetzt.The mixture referred to as component A is made by mixing 1 mole equivalent of one Compound of formula
Figure imgb0042
with a total of 2 mole equivalent of a mixture of the compounds
Figure imgb0043
and
Figure imgb0044
implements.

Das Verhältnis der Verbindungen 10 und 11 bestimmt die Zusammensetzung des Gemisches. Liegt der Anteil an 10 höher, wächst der Anteil der Verbindung 1 auf Kosten der Verbindung 3, liegt der Anteil an Verbindung 11 höher wird der Anteil der Verbindung 3 in Gemische höher als 1 sein.The ratio of compounds 10 and 11 determines the composition of the mixture. If the proportion of 10 is higher, the proportion of compound 1 increases at the expense of compound 3, if the proportion of compound 11 is higher, the proportion of compound 3 in mixtures will be higher than 1.

Vorteilhaft ist es, die Umsetzung von 9 mit je einem Mol-Äquivalent der Verbindungen 10 und 11, durchzuführen, wobei ein Überschuß von 10 und 11 bis zu 10 % möglich, aber nicht von Vorteil ist. In den Formeln 9-10 bedeutet eines der Symbole X oder Q eine Aldehydgruppe und das andere Symbol eine Gruppe der Formeln

Figure imgb0048
wobei R einen gegebenenfalls substituierten Alkylrest mit vorzugsweise 1-6 C-Atomen, eine Arylrest vorzugsweise Phenyl, eine Cycloalkylrest oder einen Aralkylrest, vorzugsweise Benzyl darstellt..It is advantageous to carry out the reaction of 9 with one molar equivalent each of the compounds 10 and 11, an excess of 10 and 11 up to 10% being possible but not advantageous. In formulas 9-10, one of the symbols X or Q represents an aldehyde group and the other symbol a group of the formulas
Figure imgb0045
Figure imgb0046
Figure imgb0047
Figure imgb0048
where R represents an optionally substituted alkyl radical having preferably 1-6 C atoms, an aryl radical preferably phenyl, a cycloalkyl radical or an aralkyl radical, preferably benzyl.

Eine bevorzugte Verfahrensvariante besteht darin, daß man eine Verbindung der Formel 9, wobei X für eine Aldehydgruppe steht, mit Verbindungen der Formel 10 und 11, wobei Q für eine Gruppe der Formel 12a mit R = C1-4 Alkyl steht, umsetzt.A preferred process variant consists in reacting a compound of formula 9, where X is an aldehyde group, with compounds of formulas 10 and 11, where Q is a group of formula 12a with R = C1-4 alkyl.

Man führt das Verfahren vorzugsweise in Lösungsmitteln durch in Gegenwart eines Protonenacceptors. Als Lösungsmittel seien bespielsweise genannt Kohlenwasserstoffe wie Toluol, Xylol, Alkohole wie Methanol, Äthanol, Isopropanol, Butanol, Glykole, Hexanole, Cyclohexanole, ferner Äther wie Diisopropyläther, Tetrahydrofuran, Dioxan und Dimethyisulfoxyd genannt. Besonders geeignet sind polare organische Lösungsmittel wie Formamid, Dimethylformamid und N-Methylpyrrolidon, wobei Dimethylformamid besonders hervorzuheben ist.The process is preferably carried out in solvents in the presence of a proton acceptor. Examples of solvents which may be mentioned are hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, glycols, hexanols, cyclohexanols, and furthermore ethers such as diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and dimethyl sulfoxide. Polar organic solvents such as formamide, dimethylformamide and N-methylpyrrolidone are particularly suitable, with dimethylformamide being particularly emphasized.

Als Protonenacceptoren eignen sich vornehmlich basische Verbindungen, wie Alkali- oder Erdalkalihydroxyde, -alkoholate oder -amide, stark basische Amine und Anionenaustauscherharze in der Hydroxylform. Bevorzugt ist der Einsatz von Alkalihydröxyden, im besonderen Kaliumhydroxyd.Suitable proton acceptors are primarily basic compounds, such as alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, alcoholates or amides, strongly basic amines and anion exchange resins in the hydroxyl form. The use of alkali hydrodes, in particular potassium hydroxide, is preferred.

Die Umsetzungstemperatur hängt von der Art der umzusetzenden Komponenten, insbesondere von der Art der Carbonylgruppen enthaltenden organischen Verbindung und dem Protonenacceptor ab ; sie liegt zwischen - 10 °C und + 100 °C, vorteilhaft zwischen 0°-50°C. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform besteht darin, die Reaktionspartner bei tieferen Temperaturen zusammenzugeben und die Reaktion bei höherer Temperatur zu Ende zu führen.The reaction temperature depends on the type of components to be reacted, in particular on the type of organic compound containing carbonyl groups and the proton acceptor; it is between - 10 ° C and + 100 ° C, advantageously between 0 ° -50 ° C. A preferred embodiment is to bring the reactants together at lower temperatures and to complete the reaction at a higher temperature.

Das beanspruchte Verfahren läßt sich beispielsweise so durchführen, daß man den Protonenacceptor im Lösungsmittel vorlegt und eine Lösung der Reaktionskomponenten 9-11 im Lösungsmittel zutropft, es ist aber ebenfalls möglich, die Verbindungen 9-11 vorzulegen und den Proteonacceptoren zuzugeben. Eine weitere Ausführungsform besteht darin, die Verbindungen 9-11, worin X oder Q für eine Gruppe der Formel 12a-d steht, vorzulegen, anschließend zuerst den Protonenacceptor und dann die Aldehydkomponente zuzugeben. Die Umsetzung läuft im allgemeinen unter starker Wärmeentwicklung ab, so daß man gegebenenfalls kühlen muß. Die Aufarbeitung des Reaktorgemisches erfolgt in bekannter Weise z.B. durch Zusatz von Methanol oder Äthanol und Abtrennen der ausgefallenen Produkte. Die so erhaltenen Produktgemische lassen sich durch HPLC (High pressure liquid chromatography) analysieren und charakterisieren.The claimed process can be carried out, for example, by introducing the proton acceptor in the solvent and adding a solution of the reaction components 9-11 in the solvent, but it is also possible to introduce the compounds 9-11 and adding them to the proteone acceptors. A further embodiment consists in presenting the compounds 9-11, in which X or Q represents a group of the formula 12a-d, then first adding the proton acceptor and then the aldehyde component. The reaction generally takes place with intense heat so that cooling may be necessary. The reactor mixture is worked up in a known manner, e.g. by adding methanol or ethanol and separating the precipitated products. The product mixtures obtained in this way can be analyzed and characterized by HPLC (high pressure liquid chromatography).

Die Ausgangsverbindungen der Formeln 9-11 sind bekannt bzw. können nach bekannten Verfahren hergestellt werden.The starting compounds of the formulas 9-11 are known or can be prepared by known processes.

Das Mischungsverhältnis für die einzelnen Komponenten liegt zwischen 0,05 und 0,95 Gew.-Teilen für die Komponente A und entsprechend 0,95 bis 0,05 Gew.-Teilen für die übrigen Verbindungen der Formeln 4 bis 8. Diese Verbindungen der Formeln 4 bis 8 können einzeln aber auch in beliebiger Mischung untereinander eingesetzt werden, wobei das Mischungsverhältnis dieser Verbindungen untereinander gänzlich unkritisch ist und beliebig variiert werden kann.The mixing ratio for the individual components is between 0.05 and 0.95 parts by weight for component A and correspondingly 0.95 to 0.05 parts by weight for the other compounds of the formulas 4 to 8. These compounds of the formulas 4 to 8 can be used individually or in any mixture with one another, the mixing ratio of these compounds with one another being completely uncritical and being able to be varied as desired.

Bevorzugt ist ein Mischungsverhältnis von 5 bis 50 Gew.-% für die Komponente A und 95 bis 50 Gew.-% eines oder mehrerer Aufhellern der Formeln 4 bis 8 (Komponente B).A mixing ratio of 5 to 50% by weight for component A and 95 to 50% by weight of one or more brighteners of the formulas 4 to 8 (component B) is preferred.

Das optimale Mischungsverhältnis aller Verbindungen hängt im Einzelfall von der Struktur der jeweiligen Verbindungen ab und läßt sich durch einfache Vorversuche unschwer ermitteln.The optimal mixing ratio of all compounds depends in individual cases on the structure of the respective compounds and can be easily determined by simple preliminary tests.

Wie bei optischen Aufhellern üblich, werden die einzelnen Komponenten durch Dispergierung in einem flüssigen Medium z.B. Wasser in die Handelsform gebracht. Man kann dabei die einzelnen Komponenten jede für sich dispergieren und dann die Dispersionen zusammen geben. Man kann aber auch die Einzelkomponenten in Substanz miteinander mischen und dann gemeinsam dispergieren. Dieser Dispergiervorgang geschieht in üblicher Weise in Kugelmühlen, Kolloidmühlen, Perlmühlen oder Dispersionsknetern. Die erfindungsgemäßen Mischungen eignen sich besonders zum Aufhellen von Textilmaterial aus linearen Polyestern, Polyamiden und Acetylcellulose. Man kann diese Mischungen aber auch mit gutem Ergebnis bei Mischgeweben verwenden, die aus linearen Polyestern und anderen synthetischen oder natürlichen Faserstoffen namentlich hydroxylgruppenhaltigen Fasern, insbesondere Baumwolle bestehen. Die Applikation dieser Mischungen geschieht dabei unter den für die Anwendung von optischen Aufhellern üblichen Bedingungen so beispielsweise nach dem Ausziehverfahren bei 90 °C bis 130 °C mit oder ohne Zusatz von Beschleunigern (Carriern) oder nach dem Thermosolverfahren. Die in Wasser unlöslichen Aufheller und die erfindungsgemäßen Mischungen können auch in organischen Lösemitteln z.B. Perchloräthylen, fluorierten Kohlenwasserstoffen gelöst zum Einsatz kommen. Dabei kann das Textilmaterial im Ausziehverfahren mit der Lösemittelflotte, welche den optischen Aufheller gelöst enthält, behandelt werden, oder man imprägniert, pflatscht, sprüht das Textilgut mit der aufhellerhaltigen Lösemittelflotte und trocknet anschließend bei Temperaturen von 120-220 °C, wobei der optische Aufheller dabei restlos in der Faser fixiert wird. Man erhält dabei eine hervorragend aufgehellte Ware mit ausgezeichneter Lichtbeständigkeit, sowie Beständigkeit gegenüber Oxidations-und Reduktionsmitteln. Diese erfindungsgemäßen Mischungen weisen im Vergleich zu den Mischungen des japanischen Patents Sho 50 (1975)-25 877 höhere Weißgrade auf ; sie ergeben ferner auch bereits bei niedrigen Thermosoliertemperaturen von z.B. 150 °C hervorragende Weißgrade.As usual with optical brighteners, the individual components are dispersed in a liquid medium e.g. Water brought into the commercial form. The individual components can be dispersed individually and the dispersions can then be added together. However, the individual components can also be mixed together in bulk and then dispersed together. This dispersion process takes place in the usual way in ball mills, colloid mills, bead mills or dispersion kneaders. The mixtures according to the invention are particularly suitable for lightening textile material made from linear polyesters, polyamides and acetyl cellulose. However, these mixtures can also be used with good results in mixed fabrics which consist of linear polyesters and other synthetic or natural fiber materials, in particular fibers containing hydroxyl groups, in particular cotton. These mixtures are applied under the conditions customary for the use of optical brighteners, for example using the exhaust process at 90 ° C. to 130 ° C. with or without the addition of accelerators (carriers) or using the thermosol process. The water-insoluble brighteners and the mixtures according to the invention can also be used in organic solvents, e.g. Perchlorethylene, fluorinated hydrocarbons can be used in solution. The textile material can be treated in the exhaust process with the solvent liquor which contains the optical brightener, or one can impregnate, splash, spray the textile material with the brightener-containing solvent liquor and then dry at temperatures of 120-220 ° C, the optical brightener being used is completely fixed in the fiber. This gives an excellently lightened product with excellent lightfastness and resistance to oxidizing and reducing agents. These mixtures according to the invention have higher degrees of whiteness than the mixtures of the Japanese patent Sho 50 (1975) -25,877; they also result in low thermal insulation temperatures of e.g. 150 ° C excellent whiteness.

Die folgenden Tabellen-Beispiele illustrieren die Erfindung. Das angewandte Applikationsverfahren soll hier beispielgebend geschildert werden :

  • Gewebeabschnitte aus Polyester-Stapelfasern werden gewaschen, getrocknet und auf einen Foulard mit wäßrigen Dispersionen imprägniert, die entweder den reinen optischen Aufheller der Formeln 4 bis 8 (Komponente B) mit einer Einsatzmenge von 0,08 Gew.-% oder ein Gemisch aus 0,064 Gew.-%, 0,04 Gew.-% bzw. 0,016 Gew.% der Komponente A mit 0,016, 0,04 bzw. 0,064 Gew.-% der Aufheller der Komponente B enthalten. Als Komponente A wurde in allen Beispielen ein Gemisch aus 1,5 Gew.-Teilen 1,4-Bis-(4'-cyano-styryl)-benzol, 1,5 Gew.-Teilen 1,4-Bis-(2'-cyano-styryl)-benzol und 7-Gew.-Teilen 1-(2-Cyano-sturyl)-4-(4'-cyano-styryl)-benzol eingesetzt.
The following table examples illustrate the invention. The application method used is described here as an example:
  • Fabric sections made of polyester staple fibers are washed, dried and impregnated onto a foulard with aqueous dispersions which either contain the pure optical brightener of the formulas 4 to 8 (component B) with an amount of 0.08% by weight or a mixture of 0.064% by weight %, 0.04% by weight or 0.016% by weight of component A with 0.016, 0.04 or 0.064% by weight of the brightener of component B. In all examples, component A was a mixture of 1.5 parts by weight of 1,4-bis (4'-cyano-styryl) benzene, 1.5 parts by weight of 1,4-bis- (2 ' -cyano-styryl) -benzene and 7 parts by weight of 1- (2-cyano-sturyl) -4- (4'-cyano-styryl) -benzene.

Das Material wird mit einem Foulard zwischen Rollen so abgequetscht, daß sich eine Feuchtigkeitsaufnahme von ca. 80 % ergibt. Das entspricht einer Aufnahme an optischen Aufhellern auf die Ware von 0,064 %. Das so geklotzte Material wurde anschließend auf einem Spannrahmen 30 Sek. bei 170° (Tabelle I) bzw. 210° (Tabelle 11) thermosoliert. Dabei wurden die jeweils angegebenen Weißgrade nach Ganz erhalten. Die Weißgrade wurden mit einem Remissionsspektralphotometer Typ DMC-25 gemessen. (Firma Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen).The material is squeezed between rollers with a padder so that a moisture absorption of approx. 80% results. This corresponds to an absorption of optical brighteners on the goods of 0.064%. The material which had been blocked in this way was then thermosolated on a stenter for 30 seconds at 170 ° (Table I) or 210 ° (Table 11). The specified degrees of whiteness according to Ganz were obtained. The degrees of whiteness were measured using a DMC-25 reflectance spectrophotometer. (Carl Zeiss company, Oberkochen).
