Definitions

• Pigments are differentiated from dyes by their physical characteristics rather than by chemical composition. Dyes, unlike pigments, dissolve during their application and in the process lose their crystal or paniculate structure.
• Fluorescent colorants which generally are based on organic dyes, represent an important class of materials commonly used in coloring printing inks, paints and plastics to impart a desired color. Such colorants often referred to as industrial fluorescent pigments are obtained by dissolving a fluorescent dye in a suitable media, such as a resin matrix. The resin matrix is then broken to a specific size, typically of several microns, so that it may be used as a pigment.
• organic pigments exhibit no fluorescence or their fluorescence is only of low intensity.
• the prior art only describes a limited number of fluorescent organic pigments, as, for example, fluorescent C. I. Pigment Yellow 101 described in W. Herbst and K. Hunger, Industrial Organic Pigments, 2 nd Ed., VCH Verlagsgesellschaft, Weinheim, 1997, 571 -572.
• pigments Compared to dyes, pigments have several advantages, such as their good lightfastness properties or weather resistance and freedom from transfer problems.
• the maximum increase in spectral response achieved by the method of the prior art relative to the untreated pigment is approximately 8% when the fluorescence of an ink formulation drawn down on to a substrate is measured with a spectrophotometer.
• the present invention relates to azo pigments of formula (I)
• X stands for halogen, in particular for chlorine, or C,-C 4 alkoxy, in particular for methoxy
• Y stands for -CH 2 - or -0-, preferably for -O-
• R, and R 2 independently from each other, stand for hydrogen, C,-C ⁇ alkyl, or C 6 -C M aryl, which may be substituted up to three times with C,-C 8 alkyl, C,-C,alkoxy or halogen, preferably for C,-C ⁇ alkyl, in particular for methyl, with the proviso that X is not methoxy if both R, and R 2 are methyl and Y is -O-.
• Halogen has the meaning of fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, preferably chlorine.
• C,-C ⁇ alkyl stands for methyl, ethyl, n-, i-propyl, n-, i-, sec.-, tert.-butyl, n-pentyl, isoamyl, n- hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, preferably C,-C 4 alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, n-, i-propyl, n-, i-, sec.-, tert.-butyl; particular preferred is ethyl and especially methyl.
• C,-C 4 alkoxy stands for methoxy, ethoxy, n-, i-propoxy, or n-butoxy, preferably for ethoxy and particularly for methoxy.
• C 6 -C 14 aryl stands for phenyl, 1 -, 2-naphthyl, 1 -, 2-anthracenyl, 1 -, 2-phenanthrenyl, preferably for phenyl.
• the reaction mixture is usually dissolved in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, which as a rule is then adjusted to a pH below 7, before the tetrazo component is added.
• the temperature during coupling is kept in the range of from -5 to 50°C, preferably -2 to 20°C.
• the reaction mixture is usually heated for 0.1 to 2 hours to a temperature in the range of from 50 to 100°C.
• the reaction product is separated from the reaction mixture in usual ways e.g. by filtration, optionally washed with water to remove soluble salts, and thereafter dried. Also preferably, the dried product is ground to a powder or granulated.
• Another embodiment of this invention is directed to the use (or method of use) of the novel azo pigments of formula (I)
• inorganic substrates such as aluminium oxide, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, magnesium oxide (especially "stone wood"), silicates, clay minerals, calcium-, gypsum- or cement-containing surfaces, for example coatings or plaster surfaces;
• inorganic substrates such as aluminium oxide, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, magnesium oxide (especially "stone wood"), silicates, clay minerals, calcium-, gypsum- or cement-containing surfaces, for example coatings or plaster surfaces
• optical light collection systems in fluorescence solar collectors (see Nachr. Chem. Tech. Lab.
• chemiluminescent flashlights in luminescence immunoassays or other luminescence detection processes, as signal paints, preferably for visually emphasising strokes of writing and drawings or other graphic products, for marking signs and other objects for which a particular visual colour impression is to be achieved, in dye lasers, preferably as fluorescent dyes for generating laser beams, as optical recording medium and also as Q-switches;
• (k) for converting the frequency of light e.g. for turning short-wave light into long-wave visible light or for doubling or tripling the frequency of laser light in non-linear optics; (I) for tracer purposes, e.g. in biochemistry, medicine, technology and natural science, where the novel colourants can be linked covalently to the substrates or via secondary valences, such as hydrogen bonds or hydrophobic interactions (adsorption); and
• Example 2 A solution of 40.8 parts 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione and 24 parts of sodium hydroxide (50%) in 300 parts of water is added to a solution of 25 parts of sodium formate in 420 parts of water. To this solution is added acetic acid (100%) with rapid stirring until pH 6.0. The resultant slurry is adjusted to 1500 parts at a temperature of 15°C by addition of water and ice. This slurry is then reacted with 32.8 parts of o-dianisidine, previously tetrazotised with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid in the usual manner. Ice is added during the reaction to prevent the temperature rising above 20°C.
• Example 4 A solution of 39.5 parts 5,5-dimethyl-1 ,3-cyclohexanedione and 24 parts of sodium hydroxide (50%) in 300 parts of water is added to a solution of 25 parts of sodium formate in 420 parts of water. To this solution is added acetic acid (100%) with rapid stirring until pH 6.0. The resultant slurry is adjusted to 1500 parts at a temperature of 15°C by addition of water and ice. This slurry is then reacted with 32.8 parts of o-dianisidine, previously tetrazotised with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid in the usual manner. Ice is added during the reaction to prevent the temperature rising above 20°C.
• the coupled pigment slurry is then heated to a temperature of 90°C and maintained at this temperature for 60 minutes before being cooled to 70°C by addition of water.
• the highly insoluble red product is then filtered, washed with water to remove soluble salts, dried and converted to a powder by grinding.
• Example 7 A solution of 4.5 parts acetic acid (100%) and 13.3 parts hydrochloric acid (36%) in 60 parts water is added with rapid stirring to a solution of 30.0 parts 5-phenyl-1 ,3- cyclohexanedione dissolved in a solution of 14.5 parts sodium hydroxide (50%) in 270 parts water.
• the resultant slurry is adjusted to 750 parts by addition of water and pH 6.0 by addition of sodium hydroxide (15%).
• This slurry is then reacted with 19.5 parts of 3,3'- dichlorobenzidine, previously tetrazotised with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid in the usual manner, with simultaneous addition of sodium hydroxide (15%) to maintain pH 4.8.
