Abstract

Symmetrical hexakisazo dyes suitable for dyeing and staining leather and having the general formula C-->B\sMA-->D\sMA-->B\sMC where A represents a p-diamine of the diphenyl series which may be further substituted, C represents a sulphonated or unsulphonated primary monoarylamine which may be further substituted, e.g. by methyl, methoxy, nitro, hydroxy, chlorine or arylamino (in which the aryl radicle may be substituted), B represents H-acid coupled alkaline to A and acid to C, and D represents one of the aryl m-aminophenols, capable of coupling twice, described in Specification 481,070, or also N-monoethyl-, N-monomethyl-, N-diethyl-, N-dimethyl-, N-21-chlorophenyl- or N - 21 : 51 - dichlorophenyl - m - aminophenol, or a monosulphonic acid thereof capable of coupling twice, phenol, a -naphthol, resorcinol-4-sulphonic acid, b -resorcylic acid, 1 : 3 : 4 - phenylenediaminesulphonic acid, 1 - chloro - 2 : 4 - phenylenediamine, 2 : 4 - diamino - phenetole, 1 : 5- or 1 : 8-diaminonaphthalene or 1 : 5-dihydroxynaphthalene, are made by coupling two molecular proportions of a diazodisazo compound of the formula C --> (acid) B (alkaline) \sM A --> with one molecular proportion of a component D. In examples, the following components are employed: A : benzidine; C : sulphanilic acid and p-nitraniline. Other components C specified are aniline, naphthionic acid, picramic acid, 4-amino-41-nitrodiphenylamine-21-sulphonic acid and dehydrothio-p-toluidinesulphonic acid. Specification 578,002 also is referred to.
