It is known that some disperse dyes exist in the thermoinstable form which causes problems in that they do not build-up into the fibre which leads to uneven dyeings having poor rubbing and wash fastness and which causes special difficulties for cross-wound spool dyeing. Such dyestuffs can be converted to the thermostable form by heat-treatment. However with the dyestuff preparations made with some of the mixtures according to the present invention the above-mentioned disadvantages do not occur and thus, the further conversion e.g. heat-treatment step is unnecessary.

Further, the mixtures of the invention have good dispersion stability, have good build-up power and give dyeings with good ru bbi ng- wet-fastn esses.

The following Examples further serve to illustrate the invention. In the Examples all parts are by weight, unless otherwise stated, and all temperatures are in degree centigrade.

Example 1 17.3 Parts 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline are stirred overnight in a mixture of 44 parts conc. hydrochloric acid and 100 parts water. 60 Parts ice are added thereto and a solution of 6.9 sodium nitrite in 25 parts water are added dropwise over a period of 30 minutes at 0 - 3 . After 21/2 hours when diazotization is completed some undissolved product is filtered off and a mixture of 11.6 parts N-(2'-acetoxyethyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)aminobenzene, 12.3 parts N-(2'acetoxypropyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)-aminobenzene and 20 parts acetic acid are added dropwise over a period of 45 minutes at 0 to 3 to the clear diazonium salt solution. The coupling reaction is completed by the addition of 50 parts sodium acetate.The precipitated dyestuff mixture is filtered, washed with 4000 parts water and dried.

The dyestuff mixture without conversion to the thermostable form may be up into a dyeing preparation in accordance with known methods with the addition of a dispersing agent, e.g. a commercially available ligninsulphonate which preparation has good dispersion stability.

Example 2 16.3 parts 2-cyano-4-nitroaniline are added at 5 to 10 to 100 parts (95%) sulphuric acid. At the same temperature, 32 parts (40%) nitrosylsulphuric are added dropwise and the whole is stirred for 3 hours. The so obtained diazonium salt solution is poured onto a mixture of 300 parts ice and 100 parts water. Some undissolved product is filtered off and a mixture of 11.6 parts N-(2'-acetoxyethyl)-N-(2'cyanoethyl)aminobenzene, 12.3 parts N-(2'-acetoxypropyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)-aminobenzene and 30 parts acetic acid is added dropwise at 0 to 3 to the clear solution. After 3 hours the precipitated dyestuff mixture is filtered, washed free of acid and dried. Dyestuff preparations made therefrom without conversion have good dispersion stability.

Example 3 A mixture of 16.2 parts N-(2'acetoxyethyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)aminobenzene, 7.4 parts N-(2'-acetoxypropyl) N-(2'-cyanoethyl)amino benzene and 30 parts acetic acid are added dropwise to the clear diazonium salt solution obtained as described in Example 2 at 0 to 3 . The precipitated dyestuff mixture is filtered and washed free from acid. The presscake is subsequently stirred in 300 parts water. The homogenous suspension is put in a steel autoclave and is stirred for 3 hours at 105 - 110 . After cooling and filtering, a thermostable dyestuff mixture is obtained which may be made up into useful dyestuff preparations.

Example 4 13.8 Parts 4-nitroaniline are dissolved in 80 parts water at 70 - 80" with the addition of 28 parts conc.

hydrochloric acid. The solution is cooled to 0 to 2" by adding 200 parts ice and diazotization is quickly carried out with a solution of 6.9 parts sodium nitrite in 14 parts water. Some solid product is filtered off and over a period of 60 minutes a mixture of 13.9 parts N-(2'-acetoxyethyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)aminobenzene, 9.85 parts N-(2'-acetoxypropyl)-N-(2'cyanoethyl)aminobenzene and 20 parts acetic acid is added dropwise at 0 to 3 to the clear diazonium salt solution. After the addition of 40 parts sodium acetate coupling is complete and the precipitated dyestuff mixture is filtered, washed and dried.The mixture, without conversion, is made into a finely divided dyeing preparation with the addition of dispersing agent, which preparation gives orange dyeings on polyester fibres.

Example 5 At 0 to 30 a mixture of 18.6 parts N-(2'-acetoxy-ethyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)aminobenzene, 4.9 parts N-(2'-acetoxypropyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)aminobenzene and 20 parts acetic acid are added dropwise over a period of 45 minutes to the diazonium-salt solution prepared as described in Example 1. 50 Parts sodium acetate are added to complete the coupling reaction. The precipitated dye mixture is filtered, washed with 4000 parts water and dried in vacuo for at least 48 hours at 100-105".

After heat treatment to convert the mixture to the thermostable form the dye mixture is made up into an excellent finely dispersed dyestuff preparation.

Example 6 69 parts sodium nitrite are added portionwise to 1200 parts conc. sulphuric acid at 60-70 with energetic stirring. Stirring is continued for a further 10 minutes and the mixture is cooled to 30 whereupon 207 parts 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline are added. Diazotization is complete after 3 hours. The yellow-brown solution is poured onto a mixture of 3400 ice and 2500 parts water. A mixture of 116 parts N-(2'-acetoxyethyl)-N-(2'cyanoethyl)aminobenzene, 123 parts N-(2'-acetoxypropyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)aminobenzene and 200 parts acetic acid are added dropwise with stirring at 0 to 5 to the obtained aqueous diazonium-salt solution. The precipitated dye mixture is filtered, washed acid-free, dried and, without conversion to the thermostable forms is made up in accordance with known methods, with the addition of a ligninsulphonate into a fine dispersion. The preparation has very good dispersion stability combined with good build-up power on polyester material.

Example 7 A mixture of 46 parts N-(2'-acetoxyethyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)aminobenzene, 197 parts N-(2'-acetoxypropyl) N-(2'-cyanoethyl)aminobenzene and 200 parts acetic acid are dropped into the diazonium salt solution of Example 6 at 0 to 5 . The precipitated dye is filtered and washed acid free. A dispersion stable dye mixture is obtained which gives satisfactory dyeings without conversion to the thermostable form.

Example 8 600 Parts water and 194 parts 1 -acetylamino-4-ethoxy-3-amino benzene are put in an autoclave which is rendered oxygen free by pasing nitrogen therethrough. The whole is heated to 55 and the amine is reacted for 2 hours with a mixture consisting of 52.8 parts ethyleneoxide and 69.6 parts propylene oxide whereupon the temperature rises to 62". The mixture is stirred for 6 hours at 60 and then cooled to 5 . Excess ethyleneand propyleneoxide are removed by means of a water jet pump and then passing nitrogen therethrough.

The autoclave is opened and the crystalline precipitated product is filtered, washed with a little cold water and dried in vacuo at 60".

148 Parts of the dried product are dissolved in 150 parts glacial acetic acid. At 80-90" over a period of 1 hour 122 parts acetic acid an hydride are added dropwise. The mixture is then heated to 110 and stirred for 3 hours at this temperature until there are no more traces of nonesterified material (tested by thin layer chromatography). The mixture of coupling components is cooled to room temperature.

With energetic stirring 31.1 parts sodium nitrite are added at 60 to 70 to 540 parts conc. sulphuric acid.

Stirring is continued for a further 10 minutes at 60", the mixture cooled to 1 and 117.9 parts 2-bromo-4,6-dinitroaniline are added thereto. Diazotization is complete after 3 hours. The diazonium solution is added to a mixture of all the coupling component obtained above, 450 parts glacial acetic acid, 3000 parts ice and 9 parts aminosulphonic acid at -5 to +20 over a period of 30 to 40 minutes. The dyestuff precipitates quickly and the solution is stirred at 0 to 2"C until no further diazo compound is detectable. The dye suspension is adjusted to pH 6 to 7 by the addition of 30% sodium hydroxide solution.Then the solution is heated to 85" over a period of an hour and is kept at this temperature for an hour followed by heating to 90" and stirred for a further hour whereby the dyestuff components convert to the thermostable form. The dye is then filtered, washed with 5000 parts hot water and dried in vacuo at 80 .

D Preparation ofDispersion In a flask, 78 parts of the dye mixture of Example 8 and 222 parts commercially available ligninsulphonate dispersing agent in 100 to 150 parts water are ground with 800 parts by volume silicia quartz beads for 6 hours (2000-2500 R.p.m.). The whole is diluted with 300 parts water and suction filtered. Any dyestuff and/or dispersing agent remaining on the beads is rinsed into the flask with a little water. The dispersion is adjusted to pH 6 to 6.5 with phosphoric acid and spray-dried (hot air 1300).

Example 9 Preparation of Dye A 232 Parts N-(2'-acetoxyethyl)-N-(2'-cyanoethyl)-aminobenzene and 200 parts acetic acid were poured into the diazonium salt solution produced as described in Example 6 at 0 to 5". The precipitated dye is filtered washed free of acid and dried.

Preparation ofDye B The diazonium salt solution of Example 6 is coupled with 246 parts N-(2'-acetoxypropyl)-N-(2'cyanoethyl)aminobenzene in 200 parts acetic acid. The dye is filtered, washed and dried.
