         [0003]     2. Description of Related Art  
         [0004]     The U.K. patent number 1,110,567, has already disclosed the reactive dyestuff of formula (II-A) but the build-up and fixation properties of this compound are not promising.  
                         
 
         [0005]     The preparation and application in dyeing of the formula (II-B) is disclosed in Japanese patent number 52,018,732.  
                         
 
 This dyestuff has higher reactivity, less base requirement, and could be used in T/C one-way bath dyeing. 5 The European patent number 418,623, has disclosed the preparation method of the following formula (II-C) by introducing sulfo group on pyridine to increase water solubility and to use in T/C one-way bath dyeing.  
                         
 
         [0006]     Also, the preparation method of the formula (II-D) and (II-E) is disclosed in Japanese patent number 2,534,909. First introducing a pyridinyl quaternary triazine group and then adding a chromophore group form the reactive dyestuff. As in T/C one-way bath dyeing, it has improved the properties of light-fastness and chlorine bleaching.  
                         
 
         [0007]     In the development of the dyestuff market, it is now moving toward environmental protection dyestuff. Generally speaking, an environmental protection dyestuff is to maintain the fixation and exhaustion properties while satisfying the need of less energy and material consuming, low pollution, and also biodegradable. Still there are no products fulfill all these requirements.  
         [0008]     The present invention provides an environmental protection dyestuff without containing heavy metal and halogen atoms. In dyeing condition, it has to be low salt, low base, and reduced pollution to environment.  
         [0009]     The dyestuff of the present invention has good properties in washing off, biodegradable, build-up, light fastness and wash fastness. The dyestuff of the present invention also shows good properties of combination and levelness.

         [0045]     The dyestuff of the present invention can be produced by the above methods, reaction conditions are fully described in the above description. Known processes such as spray drying, precipitation, or filtration can purify the dyestuff of the present invention. They can be in the form of powder, granules, particle or liquid and an auxiliary reagent, for example, retarding agent, leveling agent, assistant agent, surfactant agent, or dispersing agent may be added.  
         [0046]     The dyestuffs of the present invention all contain at least one anionic group, such as a sulfo group. For convenience they are expressed as free acid in the specification. When the dyestuffs of the present invention are manufactured, purified or used, they often exist in the form of water soluble salts, especially the alkaline metal salts, such as the sodium salt, lithium salt, potassium salt or ammonium salt, preferably sodium salt.  
         [0047]     The composition of the present invention can be prepared in several ways. For example, the dye components can be prepared separately and then mixed together to make powder, granular and liquid forms, or a number of individual dyes may be mixed according to the dyeing recipes in a dyehouse. The dye mixtures of the present invention can be prepared, for example, by mixing the individual dyes. The mixing process is carried out, for example, in a suitable mill, such as a ball mill or a pin mill, or kneaders or mixers.  
         [0048]     The dyestuff according to the present invention can be applied to dye or print fiber materials, especially cellulose fiber or materials containing cellulose. All natural and regenerated cellulose fiber (e.g. cotton, linen, jute, ramie fiber, viscose rayon) or fiber materials containing cellulose are the materials to which the dyestuff of the present invention can be applied. The dyestuff according to the present invention is also suitable for dyeing or printing fibers, which contain hydroxyl groups and are contained in blended fabrics.  
         [0049]     The dyestuff according to the present invention can be applied to the fiber material and fixed on the fiber in various ways, in particular in the form of aqueous dyestuff solutions and printing pastes. They can be applied to cellulose fibers by general dyeing methods, such as exhaustion dyeing, continuous dyeing, cold-pad-batch dyeing or printing that are commonly used in the dyeing of reactive dyestuffs.  
         [0050]     The dyestuff according to the present invention is distinguishable from others by qualities such as environmental protection, low salt, and low base, good fixing property and good build-up property. Nevertheless, the present invention also enhances the dye solubility with a high exhaustion. The dyes of the present invention can be applied in a wide range of dyeing temperature; therefore the dyes are also suitable for dyeing cotton and blending polyester fabrics. Printing can also be used with the dyestuff of the present invention. Printing is most suitable for cotton, blends of wool and silk, and T/C one-way bath dyeing.  
         [0051]     The dyestuff according to the present invention exhibits superior substantivity, levelness, migration properties, and high fibers/dyes stability in acid/base in dyeing and printing cellulose fiber materials. Besides, the dyed cellulose fiber materials have good properties of light fastness, perspiration-light fastness, and wet fastness, e.g. clean fastness, water fastness, sea water fastness, cross-dyeing fastness, and perspiration fastness, as well as fastness of wrinkling, ironing, and chlorine bleaching.  
         [0052]     Many examples have been used to illustrate the present invention. The examples sited below should not be taken as a limit to the scope of the invention. In these examples, the compounds are represented in the form of dissolved acid. However, in practice, they will exist as alkali salts for mixing and salts for dyeing.  
         [0053]     In the following examples, quantities are given as parts by weight (%) if there is no indication. The relationship between weight parts and volume parts are the same as that between kilogram and liter.

The aforementioned resulting solution is then added slowly to a solution consisting of 9.31 parts of cyanuric chloride and 100 parts of ice water, under 0-5° C., 15% sodium carbonate solution (aq) is utilized to adjust the pH to 5.0˜6.5, thereafter, the solution is stirred until the reaction is completed. 8.65 parts of 3-aminobenzenesulfonic acid is added to the reactant solution, the temperature is elevated and maintained at 35˜40° C., also the pH is adjusted and maintained at 5.0-6.5 by the addition of sodium bicarbonate, thereafter, the solution is stirred until the reaction is completed. The temperature of the resulting solution is chilled to 0-5° C. by the addition of ice, soon after, 3.55 parts of sodium nitrite is added and stirred for 10 minutes, and rapidly 16.2 parts of 32% HCl(aq) is further added and stirred for 30 minutes under 10˜15° C. Lastly, 0.6 parts of achromatic agent is added and stirred for 10 minutes. 15.79 parts of 1-amino-8-hydoxynaphthyl-3,6- disulfonic acid is added to the reactant solution, where sodium carbonate is used to adjust the pH of the resulting solution to 2.5-3.0, then the resulting solution is stirred until the reaction is completed. 11.34 parts diazonium salt solution of 2-aminonaphthalene sulfonic acid is added to the reactant solution where sodium carbonate is used to adjust the pH to 8.0-8.5, and again the solution is stirred until the reaction is completed. Continue with the resulting solution, where 9.3 parts of nicotinic acid is further added, which is then heated to 85˜100° C. with the pH being maintained at 5.0˜5.5 until the reaction is completed.
