PEOTUSEN'SITIZING DYE EFFECTIVE FOR INFRA-RED RADIATION.
No Drawing.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 12, 1921.
Application filed July 17, 1920. Serial No. 307,114.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ELLIOT Q. ADAMS and HERBERT L. HALLER, citizens of the United States of America, and employees of the. Department of Agriculture, residing in the city of Berkeley, county of Alameda, State of California, and in the city of Cincinnati, county of Hamilton, State of Ohio, respectively, whose post office address. is Department of Agriculture, Washington, D Q, have invented new and useful Photosensitizing Dyes Effective for Infra-Red Radiation, of which the following is a specification.
Dyes of this type are known to be substituted ammonium salts, the sensitizing action being due to the positive ammonium radical. Hence, the nature of the negative radical will be of influence only in so far as it affects adversely the solubility of the compound or possesses deleterious action of its own. It will therefore be possible to use any quaternary compounds satisfactory in these respects.
This application is made under the act of. March 3, 1883, chapter 143 (22 Stat. L., 625), and the invention herein descrlbed and claimed may be used by the Government of the United States or any of its officers or employees in the prosecution of work for the Government, and any person in the United States, without payment to; us of any royalty thereon.
It is known that a mixture of the quaternary halids (or other addition products) of quinolin and quinaldin,'or', more generally, of an oz-methylated and a y-unsubstituted quinolin base,yields with strong-bases in alcohol solution a 'dye of the iso-cyanin type; while a mixture of the quaternary halids (or other addition products) of quinolin and lepidin,.or, more generally, of a y-methylated and a y -unsubstituted quinolin base,-yields with strong bases in alcohol solution a dye of the cyanin type. By
oz-methylated quinolin bases are meant de rivatives of quinolin, or related bases, having a methyl group adjacent to the nitrogen of the heterocyclic ring, and by -unsubstituted quinolin bases andy-methylated quinolin bases are ,meant derivatives of quinolin, and related bases, having, respectlvely, a
' hydrogen and a methyl group diametrically opposite the nitrogen of 1 the heterocyclic ring. By strong bases are meant sodium and potassium hydroxid, silver oxid, and the methylates and ethylates of sodium and potassium. I
We have found that the quaternary halids or other addition products of su'iiiciently pure lepidin, or other -methylated quinolin bases, yield when treated with strong bases under suitable conditions dyes effective for infrared radiation, whose sensitization maximum lies farther into the infra-red than that of the dicyanins. Low concentration of reagents, high radical weight of the alkyl group attached to the nitrogen of the heterocyclic ring, and the presence of formaldehyde or chloroform favor this type of condensation. By higher alkyl roup is meant an alkyl group heavier than t e ethyl group; by higher quaternary addition prodnets-quaternary addition products 0011- taming such higher alkyl groups.
The characteristic absorption maximum of this class of dyes is in the neighborhood of 70005, their sensitization maximum at approximately 7400A The following examples will serve to illustrate the preferred procedure. The invention, however, is not confined to these exam ples. The parts are by weight.
Example 1: 1.5 parts of epidin ethiodid are dissolved in 320 parts of absolute methyl alcohol, and a solution of sodium mthylate prepared by dissolving 0.058 part of metallic sodium in 80 parts of absolute methyl alcohol is added. After standing 100 hours the solution is poured into 1000 parts of distilled water, the solution extracted with carbon 'tetrachlorid to remove by-products, the dye extracted from v the solution with chloroform, and the extract washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to a small volume. The concentrated solution is poured into1'20 parts of anhydrous ethyl ether and the bluish black yield is small.
Example 2: 1.57 parts of lepidin isoproyl iodid are dissolved in 16Iparts of absoute methyl alcohol and heated to-boiling.-
A solution of sodium methylajte prepared by dissolving 0.058 part of metallicsodium in 4 parts of absolute methyl alcohol is;
added. After standing for some time the precipitate filtered ofi. The
solution is concentrated to one-fourth of its original volume and poured into 150' parts of absolute ether. The precipitate is removed by filtration, washed successively with absolute ether, water, and absolute ether, and, after drying, dissolved in absolute methyl alcohol, and the solvent removed by evaporation at room temperature. The yield is approximately 0.35 part of a purplish-black powder.
Example 3: 6 parts of lepidin ethiodid are dissolved in 80 parts of 95 .per cent. ethyl alcohol and heated to boiling under a reflux condenser. After the air in the flask has been expelled a mixture of 1 part pf 40 per cent. formaldehyde solution and a solution of sodium ethylate, prepared by dissolving 0.23 part of metallic'sddium in 16 parts of absolute ethyl alcohol, is added gradually. The boiling is continued ten minutes, the flask stoppered and allowed to cool slowly. After 24 hours the dye is filtered off, washed with ice-cold ethyl alcohol and finally ether. The yield is approximately 0.4 part'of a purplish-black powder with a few crystals large enough to'give distinct reflections.
Example 4: 1.5 parts of lepidin methiodid are dissolved in 28 parts of 95 per cent. ethyl alcohol, the solution heated to boiling under a reflux condenser to expel air, and 22.5 parts of chloroform added. A solution of sodium ethylate, prepared by dissolving 0.115 part of metallic sodium in 8 parts of absolute ethyl alcohol, is then run gradually directly into the boiling solution, and the boiling'continued ten minutes after the addition is complete. The flask is stoppered while hot and allowed to cool slowly. After 24 hours the dye is filtered off, washed successively with ice-cold 95 per cent. ethyl alcohol, absolute ether, water, mixtures of alcohol and ether, and finally absolute ether. The yield is approximately 0.05 part of microscopic crystals showing both green and copper-colored metallic reflection.
Example 5 4.5 parts of p-tolulepidin are dissolved in 32 arts of 95 per cent. ethyl alcohol, and a so ution of 2.5 parts of silver nitrate in 48 parts of 95 per cent. ethyl alcohol added, with stirring. The precipitated silver iodid is filtered off, the solution concentrated to three-fifths of its original volume and heated under arefiux condenser to expel air. A solution of sodium ethylate prepared by dissolving 0.23 part of metallic sodium in 16 parts of absolute ethyl alcohol and 0.75 part of a 40 per cent. aqueous solution of formaldehyde are mixed and slowly added to the boiling solution. The boiling is continued ten minutes after the complete addition of the sodium ethylateformaldehyde mixture, the flask stoppered while hot and allowed to cool very slowly. After 24 hours the dye is filtered off, washedsucoessivel with ice-cold 90 per cent. ethyl alcohol, et er, water, a mixture of absolute ether and alcohol, and finally absolute ether. The yield is approximately 0.25 part of a crystalline powder with a yellow green metallic luster.
Having now fully described our invention, what we claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. Dyes effective for infrared photographic sensitization produced by the action of strong bases uponthe higher alkyl halids of lepidin.
2. Dyes effective for infra red photographic sensitization produced by the action of strong bases on the higher quaternary addition products of Y-methylated quinolin bases.

In testimony whereof, we afiix our signaturesin the presence of two subscribing witnesses."
