Abstract

The dyes are prepared by coupling a diazonium compound of a heterocyclic amine of aromatic character, from the thiazole, benzothiazole, benzisothiazole, thiadiazole, triazole or thiophene series, which optionally contains further substituents in the aromatic nucleus, with a coupling component, in a solvent or dispersant consisting of a mixture of 90-15 % by weight of an aliphatic alcohol having a chain length of 4-6 C atoms and a water-solubility of at most 15 % by weight at 15 DEG C, and 10-85 % of water, at -20 DEG C to +20 DEG C, in the presence of an acid. The process gives high yields of very pure products.

Description

(54) PREPARATION OF AZO DYESTUFFS (71) We, CASSELLA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, formerly Cassella Farbwerke Mainkur Aktiengesellschaft, a body corporate organised under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, of 526 Hanauer Landstrasse, 6000 Frankfurt (Main) 61, Federal Republic of Germany, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement::- The present invention relates to an improvement in or modification of the process described in our Patent Specification No. 1 535 894 (Application 4023/77), hereinafter referred to as our " main" specification, which describes and claims a process for the manufacture of an azo dyestuff which comprises coupling a diazonium compound with a coupling component of a defined type, at a temperature of from 0 to 80"C and in the presence of an acid, in a solvent or dispersing medium comprising a mixture of from 90 to 15% by weight of an aliphatic alcohol containing from 4 to 6 C atoms and having a solubility in water of not more than 15% by weight at 150C, and 10 to 85% by weight of water.
Azo dyestuffs are conventionally manufactured by coupling either a mineral acid aqueous solution or a suspension of a diazonium salt of an amino compound with an aqueous mineral acid or alkaline solution or suspension of a coupling component.
According to German Auslegeschrift 2,139,311, coupling of a diazo component with a coupling component is carried out in an acid liquid medium, preferably in water and/or a water-soluble organic solvent, for example isopropanol.
According to German Auslegeschrift 1,927,453, azo pigments are obtained by azo coupling in organic solvents, such as, for example, benzene, toluene and chlorobenzene, inter alia, which have a water content of at most 10%.
German Offenlegungsschrift 2,058,299 describes carrying out azo coupling in an anhydrous organic, water-insoluble solvent, whilst in addition German Offenlegungsschrift 2,509,560 also describes the use of water-miscible (hydrophilic) solvents.
In many cases impure azo dyestuffs are obtained by these hitherto known processes, especially if the solubility properties of the diazo componets or coupling components in the reaction media are unfavourable. In general, a decrease in yield is also associated with the occurrence of impurities in the azo dyestuff. Furthermore, in some of the known processes, the coupling reaction proceeds very slowly, so that uneconomically long reaction times are required.
Our main Specification relates to a process by means of which the disadvantages associated with the processes known hitherto can be avoided.
The process of our main Specification is particularly suitable for the manufacture of azo dyestuffs using appropriately stabilised diazo compounds of a diazotisable aromatic amine of the general formula I
wherein X1, X2 and X, denote hydrogen or certain substituents which do not confer water-solubility, or of an aminoazo compound of the general formula II
wherein X4 to X8 denote hydrogen or certain substituents which do not confer watersolubility.
Coupling components in the process of our main Specification which have been described are tertiary, aromatic amines of the general formula
wherein X, and Xfi have the meaning indicated above and X9 and Xl0 denote optionally substituted alkyl radicals containing 1 to 4 C atoms, and heterocyclic coupling components of the general' formula
wherein X1l denotes hydrogen or has the meaning of Xg and X10.
According to the present invention there is provided a process for the manufacture of an azo dyestuff which comprises coupling a diazonium compound with a coupling component, the diazonium compound being derived from a heterocyclic amine of aromatic character of the thiazole, benzthiazole, benzisothiazole, thiadiazole, triazole and thiophene series, which can optionally also contain further substituents in the aromatic nucleus, and the coupling being effected in a solvent or dispersing agent consisting of a mixture of 90 to 15% by weight of an aliphatic alcohol, having a chain length of 4 to 6 C atoms and a solubility in water of at most 15% by weight at 15"C, and 10 to 85% by weight of water, at temperatures between -200C and +20 C in the presence of an acid.
A solvent or dispersing agent consisting of 60 to 30% by weight of an aliphatic alcohol, having a chain length of 4 to 6 C atoms and a solubility in water of at most 15% by weight at 15"C, and 40 to 70% by weight of water is preferably used in carrying out the process according to the invention.
Examples of aliphatic alcohols, having a chain length of 4 to 6 C atoms, which are contained as a mixing component in the solvents or dispersing agents to be employed according to the invention are n-butanol, iso-butanol, n-amyl alcohols diethylcarbinol, isobutylcarbinol, n-hexanol and iso-hexanol.
n-Butanol and iso-butanol are preferred.
Advantages of the process according to the invention arise from the overall physico-chemical properties of the two-phase system to be employed, according to the invention, as the solvent or dispersing agent. The solubility in water of the aliphatic alcohols to be employed is particularly important here.
The solubilities in water of the preferred alkanols, n-butanol and iso-butanol are 6.8 and 7.4% by weight, respectively, at 15 C.
Conversely, ar this temperature the take-up of water by n-butanol is 27.3% by weight and of isobutanol is 16.0% by weight.
The process according to the invention can be carried out in two stages by introducing a solution of a heterocyclic diazonium compound in an aqueous or concentrated inorganic or organic acid into a mixture of a coupling component and the solvent or dispersing agent.
The solution of the heterocyclic diazonium compound to be introduced is prepared, in a reaction stage prior to the coupling, by diazotising a diazotisable heterocyclic amine in an aqueous or concentrated inorganic or organic acid with a diazotising agent. The reaction temperature in this procedure can also be kept between -200C and +20"C, preferably - 100 and + 5 C, by external cooling. In principle, suitable acids for ,lose according to the invention are all the strong inorganic and organic acids known for diazotisation of amines and coupling in an acid medium.
Examples of suitable inorganic acids are hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid or phosphoric acid. Examples of possible acids from the organic acid series are formic acid, acetic acid, chloroacetic acid and propionic acid.
The salts of nitrous acid, in particular the alkali metal salts, such as, for example, sodium nitrite, or potassium nitrite, or substances which produce nitrous acid, such as nitrosylsulphuric acid, can be used as the diazotising agents.
It can be desirable to buffer the reaction mixture in order to accelerate the coupling and in order to trap the acid liberated during the coupling. For this purpose, buffer substances which are in themselves known can be added to the reaction mixture. Known buffer substances are, inter alia, alkali metal salts of relatively weak acids, for example sodium acetate.
The diazo compound used is derived from a heterocyclic amine of aromatic character of the thiazole, benzthiazole, benzisothiazole, thiadiazole, triazole and thiophene series, which can optionally also contain further substituents in the aromatic nucleus.
Examples which may be mentioned are the following heterocycluic amines: 2amino -4 - methyl - thiazole, 2 - amino - 4,5 - dimethyl - thiazole, 2 - amino - 5nitro - thiazole, 2 - amino - 4 - methyl - 5 - nitro - thiazole, 2 - amino - 4 - cyano - 5nitro - thiazole, 2 - amino - 4 tn'.fluoro - methyl - 5 - nitro - thiazole, 2 - amino - 4 phenyl - 5 - nitro - thiazole, 2 - amino - benzthiazole, 2 - amino - 6 - methoxy - benzthiazole, 2 - amino - 6 - ethoxy - benzthiazole, 2 - amino - 5 - methoxy - 6 - ethoxybenzthiazole, 2 - amino - 6 - chlorobenzthiazole, 2 - amino - 4 - nitro - benzthiazole, 2 - amino - 6 - nitro - benzthiazole, 2 - amino - 6 - methylsulphonyl - benzthiazole, 3 - amino - 2,1 - benzoisothiazole, 3 - amino - 5 - nitro - 2,1 - benzisothiazole, 3amino - 5 - nitro - 7 - chloro - 2,1 - benzisothiazole, 3 - amino - 7 - nitro - 2,1 - benzisothiazole, 2 - amino - 5 - phenyl - 1,3,4 - thiadiazole, 2 - amino - 4 - phenyl - 1,3,5thiadiazole, 2 - amino - 1,3,4 - triazole, 2 - amino - 5 - methylsulphonyl - 1,3,4 - triazole, 2 - amino - 5 - bromo - thiophene, 2 - amino - 5 - cyano - thiophene, 2 - amino5 - nitro - thiophene, 2 - amino - 4 - methyl - 5 - nitro - thiophene, 2 - amino - 3nitro - thiophene, 2 - amino - 3 - cyano - 5 - nitro - thiophene, 2 - amino - 5 - nitrothiophene - 3 - carboxylic acid ethyl ester and 2 - amino - 3 - cyano - thiophene.
Possible coupling components are tetriary, aromatic amines of the general formula I'
wherein R denotes a phenyl radical which is optionally mono-substituted or disubstituted by halogen atoms, in particular chlorine atoms, or alkyl or alkoxy groups having a chain length of C1 to C4 and n denotes the numbers 1 or 2.
Examples of coupling components of this type are: N - benzyl - N - cyanoethylaniline, N - (2' - chloro - benzyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (4' - methylbenzyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (4' - ethyl - benzyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (2',4' - di - n - butyl - benzyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (2' - methoxybenzyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - phenethyl - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (2'chloro - phenethyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (2' - bromo - phenethyl) - Ncyanoethyl - aniline, N - (2',4' - dichloro - phenethyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N (4' - methyl - phenethyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (4' - n - butyl - phenethyl) N-cyanoethyli- aniline, N - (2',4' - dimethyl - phenethyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (3' - methoxy - phenethyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (4' - methoxy - phenethyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline, N - (4' - n - butoxy - phenethyl) - N - cyanoethylaniline and N - (2',4' - dimethoxy - phenethyl) - N - cyanoethyl - aniline.
The process according to the invention is particularly suitable for carrying out the coupling of the diazonium compound of an amine of the general formula III'
wherein R1 denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl, cyano or trifluoromethyl group, or IV'
wherein R2 denotes a hydrogen atom or a nitro group, R3 denotes a hydrogen atom or a methoxy group, R4 denotes a hydrogen or chlorine atom or a methoxy, ethoxy, nitro or methylsulphonyl group, with a coupling component of the general formula I'
wherein R denotes a phenyl radical which is optionally mono-substituted or disubstituted by halogen atoms, in particular chlorine atoms, or alkyl or alkoxy groups having a chain length of C1 to C4 and n denotes the numbers 1 or 2, dyestuffs of the general formula II'
wherein D denotes a thiazole radical of the general formula
or a benzthiazole radical of the general formula
and R, Rl, R2, F3, R4 and n have the above meanings, being obtained in very good yield and purity.
The manufacture of dyestuffs of the general formula V
wherein n has the meaning indicated above, by the process according to the invention by using a diazonium compound of an amine of the general formula IIIa
and a coupling component of the general formula I'
wherein R denotes a phenyl radical which is optionally mono-substituted or disubstituted by halogen atoms, in particular chlorine atoms, or alkyl or alkoxy groups having a chain length of C1 to C4 and n denotes the numbers 1 or 2, is particularly advantageous.
The azo dyestuffs, usually obtained in good yield and purity by the process according to the invention, can either be separated out by driving off, by means of steam, the aliphatic alcohol used as the solvent or can be isolated by immediate filtration and, if appropriate, subsequent washing of the residue with the aliphatic alcohol used. The solvent employed can be regenerated from the filtrate, also by distillation, if appropriate using steam.
The aliphatic alcohols recovered in both working up processes can be re-used in a further batch, taking into consideration their water content.
The process according to the invention for the manufacture of azo dyestuffs has been found particularly advantageous for the manufacture of azo dyestuffs which are obtained only in a very impure form by coupling the heterocyclic diazo compound with a coupling component in an aqueous, mineral acid solution, if appropriate while buffering with sodium acetate. Furthermore, it has been found advantageous when coupling components which are very sparingly soluble in acids are used, for example, N phenethyl - N - ,,8 - cyanoethyl - aniline, which is coupled industrially in 50% strength sulphuric acid, which is no longer acceptable for reasons of environmental protection.
Azo dyestuffs can be manufactured industrially from this coupling component in a simple manner in high yield and purity by the process claimed.
