Reactive dyes are widely used for dyeing and printing textile fibre 
materials. Although a large number of useful reactive dyes having 
different properties are currently available for various fields of use, 
the prior art achieved often is not yet completely satisfactory in view of 
the high requirements in respect of suitability for certain dyeing 
processes and the fastness level of the dyeings. 
This also applies to reactive dyes used in processes for printing textile 
fibre materials. The present range of high-quality printing dyes generally 
still contains gaps, especially taking into account the shade. The 
provision of further improved reactive dyes is therefore urgently desired. 
The object of the present invention is to discover novel reactive dyes 
which are suitable for dyeing processes, in particular for processes for 
printing textile fibre materials, and have a high degree of fixing and at 
the same time result in non-fixed portions which are easy to wash out; the 
dyes should furthermore have generally good fastness properties and in 
particular shades in the range from yellow to reddish-tinged yellow. It 
has been found that the novel dyes defined below largely meet the stated 
object. 
The invention thus relates to reactive dyes of the formula

N-methyl-N-.beta.-sulfoethylamino are furthermore of interest. 
The reactive dye of the formula 
##STR8## 
is especially important. 
The dyes of the formulae (1) to (7) are fiber-reactive since they contain a 
chlorine atom which can be split off in the s-triazine radical. 
Fibre-reactive compounds are to be understood as meaning those which are 
capable of reacting with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose, the amino, 
carboxyl, hydroxyl and thiol groups of wool and silk or the amino and any 
carboxyl groups of synthetic polyamides to form covalent chemical bonds. 
The process for the preparation of the reactive dyes of the formula (1) 
comprises coupling a diazotized diazo component of the formula 
##STR9## 
to a coupling component of the formula 
##STR10## 
and subjecting the aminomonoazo compound thus obtained and an amine of the 
formula 
##STR11## 
to a condensation reaction with 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine in any order. 
Since the condensation reactions can be carried out in different orders, 
two process variants are possible. 
The two process variants comprise 
1. coupling a diazotized diazo component of the formula (8) with a coupling 
component of the formula (9), subjecting the resulting aminomonoazo 
compound to a condensation reaction with 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine and 
subjecting the primary condensation product to a condensation reaction 
with an amine of the formula (10). 
2. First subjecting 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine to a condensation reaction 
with an amine of the formula (10) and subjecting the resulting primary 
condensation product to a condensation reaction with the aminomonoazo 
compound prepared as in 1. 
The preferred mode of preparation of the reactive dye of the formula (7) 
comprises preparing a monoazo compound of the formula 
##STR12## 
subjecting this to a condensation reaction with 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine 
and subjecting the resulting dichlorotriazine-azo compound of the formula 
##STR13## 
to a condensation reaction with .beta.-(.beta.'-hydroxyethoxy)-ethylamine. 
Starting compounds for the preparation of the reactive dyes of the formula 
(1) are, for example, the following: 
(a) Diazo components of the formula (8): 
1-Naphthylamine-2-, -3-, -4-, -5-, -6-, -7- and -8-sulfonic acid, 
2-naphthylamine-1-, -3-, -4-, -5-, -6-, -7- and -8-sulfonic acid, 
1-naphthylamine-2,4-, -2,5-, -2,7-, -2,8-, -3,5-, -3,6-, -3,7-, -3,8-, 
-4,6-, -4,7-, -4,8- and -5,8-disulfonic acid, 2-naphthylamine-1,5-, -1,6-, 
-1,7-, -3,6-, -3,7-, -4,7-, -4,8-, -5,7- and -6,8-disulfonic acid, 
1-naphthylamine-2,4,6-, -2,4,7-, -2,5,7-, -3,5,7-, -3,6,8- and 
-4,6,8-trisulfonic acid and 2-naphthylamino-1,3,7-, -1,5,7-, -3,5,7-, 
-3,6,7-, -3,6,8- and -4,6,8-trisulfonic acid. 
(b) Coupling components of the formula (9): 
3-Aminophenylurea, 1-amino-3-ureido-6-methylbenzene, 
1-amino-3-ureido-6-methoxybenzene, 1-amino-3-ureido-6-ethoxybenzene, 
1-amino-3-ureido-6-ethylbenzene, 1-amino-3-ureido-6-chlorobenzene, 
1-amino-3-ureido-6-trifluoromethylbenzene and 
1-amino-3-ureido-6-sulfobenzene. 
(c) 2,4,6-Trichloro-s-triazine (cyanuric chloride). 
(d) Amine of the formula (10): 
Ethanolamine, .beta.-sulfatoethylamine, 
.beta.-(.beta.'-hydroxyethoxy)-ethylamine, bis-.beta.-hydroxyethylamine, 
ethylamine, N,N-diethylamine, cyclohexylamine, carboxymethylamine, 
N-methyl-N-carboxymethylamine, .gamma.-N,N-dimethylamino-n-propylamine, 
.beta.-methoxyethylamine, N-methyl-N-.beta.-sulfoethylamine, 
N-methyl-N-.beta.-hydroxyethylamine, N-ethyl-N-.beta.-hydroxyethylamine, 
H.sub.2 N--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --O--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --O--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 
--OH, H.sub.2 N--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --O).sub.3 --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --OH, 
H.sub.2 N--(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --O).sub.4 --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --OH, 
.beta.-hydroxyethylamine and 
N-methyl-N-.beta.-(.beta.'-hydroxyethoxy)-ethylamine. 
The diazotization of the diazo is as a rule carried out by the action of 
nitrous acid in aqueous-mineral acid solution at a low temperature, and 
the coupling to the coupling components is as a rule carried out at a 
weakly acid, neutral to weakly alkaline pH. 
The condensation reactions of the 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine with the 
aminomonoazo compounds and the amino compounds of the formula (10) are 
preferably carried out in aqueous solution or suspension at a low 
temperature and a weakly acid, neutral to weakly alkaline pH, so that at 
least one chlorine atom still remains as a radical which can be split off 
in the finished reactive dye of the formula (1). The hydrogen chloride 
liberated during the condensation is advantageously neutralized 
continuously by addition of aqueous alkali metal hydroxides, carbonates or 
bicarbonates. Isolation of the dichlorotriazine-azo compound is in general 
dispensed with. 
The reactive dyes of the formula (1) can be isolated and processed to 
useful dry dyeing preparations. The isolation is preferably carried out at 
the lowest possible temperature by salting out and filtration. The 
filtered and if appropriate desalinated dyes can be dried, if appropriate 
after addition of extenders and/or buffers, for example after addition of 
a mixture of equal parts of mono- and disodium phosphate or sodium 
tripolyphosphate; drying is preferably carried out at temperatures which 
are not too high and under reduced pressure. In certain cases, the dry 
preparations according to the invention can be prepared directly, that is 
to say without intermediate isolation of the dyes, by spray drying the 
entire preparation mixture. 
The invention furthermore relates to storage-stable concentrated liquid dye 
preparations of the reactive dyes of the formula (1) and to their use for 
the preparation of padding liquors, dyebaths and in particular printing 
pastes, which are used for dyeing and printing fibre materials, in 
particular cellulose-containing fibre materials. 
Liquid dye preparations have advantages over the powder form, for example 
no dust formation when preparing printing pastes or padding liquors and 
dye liquors, no wetting problems due to formation of lumps and no speckled 
dyeings due to undissolved dye particles. Such liquid formulations should 
be highly concentrated (dye content of at least 10% by weight and 
preferably more than 15% by weight) and it should be possible to store 
them unchanged for at least several months in a wide temperature range 
(-10.degree. to +40.degree. C.). The liquid formulations contain, in 
particular, 20 to 50, preferably 35 to 50, % by weight of dye. 
The aqueous solution or suspension, containing solvent if appropriate, or 
an aqueous suspension of the moist press cake or filter cake of the crude 
dyes of varying content of undesirable dissolved substances of low 
molecular weight, in particular of by-products obtained during synthesis 
of the dye and dissolved inorganic and organic salts, obtained directly 
from the synthesis can be used as the starting solution or suspension for 
preparation of the dye preparations. In cases where the condensation 
product can be salted out only with extreme difficulty, if at all, the 
crude condensation or neutralization solution can also be used directly. 
Starting solutions or suspensions which contain 2 to 50% of dye are 
advantageously used. 
However, it is also possible to use the dry crude dye powder as the 
starting substance, if this is first suspended in water. 
The concentrated liquid preparations according to the invention are as a 
rule true or colloidal solutions. They are mobile (viscosity of about 5 to 
300 cP/20.degree. C.) and have a good storage stability, that is to say 
they remain in the ready-to-use state for at least several months at 
temperatures of -20.degree. to +60.degree. C., in particular -10.degree. 
to +40.degree. C. Either water or organic solvents and/or thickeners can 
be added to these preparations during preparation of padding liquors, 
dyebaths and printing pastes without the dye precipitating or other 
inhomogeneities occurring. Textile materials of naturally occurring or 
synthetic, in particular cellulose-containing fibre materials, for 
example, can be dyed or printed in a known manner using the padding 
liquors, dyebaths and printing pastes mentioned. 
The stable concentrated liquid dye preparations according to the invention 
are particularly suitable for the preparation of printing pastes for 
printing cellulose fibre materials and for continuous dyeing processes. 
One process for the preparation of a liquid preparation according to the 
invention is known, for example, from European Patent A-0,333,656, in 
which the dye solution is desalinated and concentrated on a reverse 
osmosis unit. 
The use of membrane-related filtering techniques for the preparation of 
formulations of water-soluble organic dyes is known. The process starts 
from aqueous suspensions of the crude dye, which are largely freed from 
water-soluble by-products and in which the salt content is reduced to 
about half with the aid of a first membrane separation process; a second 
membrane separation process then follows. 
In this first membrane separation process, the soluble by-products and some 
of the salts thus permeate through a membrane, whereas the dye and 
water-insoluble contents are retained. 
In the second membrane separation process, the dye suspension is then 
desalinated and concentrated--if appropriate after dilution with 
water--and is finally converted into a ready-to-sell liquid or solid dye 
formulation. 
The dye solutions employed according to a invention as a rule have a dye 
content of 5 to 20% by weight and a salt content (inorganic salts) of 1 to 
20% by weight, in particular 1 to 10% by weight. The pH is as a rule in 
the range from 3 to 10, preferably 3 to 9. Insoluble portions are 
separated off by microfiltration and the concentration and desalination is 
carried out until a dye content of 10 to 50% by weight is reached. During 
this procedure, the salt content drops to below 5% by weight, for example 
0.05 to 5% by weight, and preferably below 1% by weight, for example 0.05 
to 1% by weight. 
To prepare a ready-to-sell liquid form the concentrated aqueous dye 
formulation is to be brought to a given final dye content merely by 
dilution and/or with the aid of extenders, if appropriate after addition 
of the components customary for liquid formulations, such as solubilizers, 
foam suppressants, antifreeze agents, humectants, surfactants, buffer 
substances and/or antimicrobial agents, and after adjustment of the pH. 
However, the dye formulation can also be converted into a solid dye 
preparation by dehydration, if appropriate after addition of additives, 
such as binders, dust removal agents, wetting agents, buffer substances, 
such as alkali metal polyphosphates, disodium hydrogen phosphate, citric 
acid and/or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and/or extenders. Because of 
the increased dye concentration, less energy is required for drying. 
Customary drying processes, in particular spray drying, are used. 
The pH of the ready-to-sell liquid formulation of the reactive dyes is as a 
rule adjusted by addition of buffer substances. The pH is in the range of 
about 7.0 to 8.5, preferably 8.0. It is of course possible for the dyeing 
assistants or additives mentioned not only to be added to the dye solution 
before final formulation thereof as the commercial form but to be 
introduced into the solution of the crude dye even before or during the 
process according to the invention, and they are thus at least in some 
cases already present in the dye solution from which the final 
ready-to-sell dye formulation is prepared (for example solubilizers, 
solvents, surfactants etc.). Addition during the process is of course only 
appropriate if the dyeing assistant or assistants or additive or additives 
are not removed completely again from the solution by one of the membrane 
separation processes. 
The concentrated liquid preparations, according to the invention, of the 
reactive dyes of the formula (1) thus contain 10 to 50% by weight of dye, 
0.05 to 5% by weight of an inorganic salt, for example NaCl, KCl or LiCl, 
buffer substances, for example mono- and disodium phosphate or sodium 
tripolyphosphate or mixtures of buffer substances, in an amount such that 
a pH of between 7.0 and 8.5 can be established and water. 
The reactive dyes of the formula (1) are distinguished by a high 
reactivity, and they produce dyeings of good wet and light fastness 
properties. It is to be particularly emphasized that the dyes display a 
good solubility and high fixing of the dye, that they diffuse well into 
the cellulose fibre and that the non-fixed portions can easily be removed. 
The reactive dyes of the formula (1) are suitable for dyeing and printing 
widely varying materials, such as silk, leather, wool, polyamide fibres 
and polyurethanes, but in particular cellulose-containing materials of a 
fibrous structure, such as linen, cellulose, regenerated cellulose and 
especially cotton. They are suitable both for the exhaustion process and 
for dyeing by the pad-dyeing process, in which the goods are impregnated 
with aqueous dye solutions, which if appropriate also contain salts, and 
the dyes are fixed, if appropriate under the action of heat, after an 
alkali treatment or in the presence of alkali. 
They are particularly suitable for printing textile cellulose-containing 
fibre materials, especially cotton, and likewise also for printing 
nitrogen-containing fibres, for example wool, silk or mixed fabrics 
containing wool. 
The dyes according to the invention are distinguished in particular by a 
very good capacity for combination; the resulting prints are distinguished 
that in combination with other dyes, for example in combination with a 
blue-dyeing dye, no two-sidedness occurs, that is to say the resulting 
print is constant in shade. 
It is advisable to subject the dyeings and prints to thorough rinsing with 
cold and hot water, if appropriate with the addition of a dispersing agent 
which promotes diffusion of the non-fixed portions. 
When used in practice, the dyes according to the invention are 
advantageously employed as liquid dyeing or printing preparations. 
The preparation of the monoazo intermediates is not described in all cases 
in the embodiment examples which follow, but can be ascertained without 
problems from the above comments. 
In the following examples, the parts are by weight.

EXAMPLE 1 
585 parts of 
7-[4-(4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl-amino)-2-ureidophenyl-azo]-1,3,6-nap 
hthalenetrisulfonic acid, prepared by a known process, are dissolved in 
5000 parts of water at 8.degree. C. and pH 4.5 by addition of sodium 
hydroxide solution. A mixture of 79 parts of ethanolamine with 70 parts of 
water is added dropwise so that the pH does not rise above 7.5. During 
this procedure, the temperature rises to about 20.degree. C. The mixture 
is then heated at about 40.degree. C. for 2 hours, during which the pH is 
kept constant by addition of 195 parts of 5N sodium hydroxide solution. 
The dissolved dye of the formula 
##STR14## 
is precipitated by addition of 550 parts of sodium chloride and isolated. 
Very fast golden yellow prints or dyeings are obtained--when applied to 
cotton by the customary process. 
EXAMPLE 2 
67 parts of ethanolamine are added dropwise to a suspension of 184 parts of 
cyanuric chloride in 1000 parts by volume of water at 0.degree. to 
5.degree. C. so that the pH is kept at 5.0. The pH is then kept further at 
5.0 to 5.5 by addition of 100 parts by volume of 10N sodium hydroxide 
solution. In the meantime, 546 parts of 
7-(4-amino-2-ureidophenyl-azo)-naphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid, 
prepared by a known process, are dissolved in 4000 parts by volume of 
water under neutral conditions. This solution is allowed to run into the 
solution of the condensation product prepared above. The reaction solution 
is now heated at 40.degree. to 45.degree. C. for 2 to 3 hours, and at the 
same time the pH is kept at 7.5 by dropwise addition of 110 parts by 
volume of 10N sodium hydroxide solution. The same dye as is obtained in 
Example 1 can be isolated from the resulting dye solution by addition of 
500 parts of sodium chloride. 
If the procedure is as described in Example 1 or 2 but the amines shown in 
the second column are used for replacement of the second chlorine atom on 
the triazine ring, useful dyes which dye cotton in yellow to 
reddish-tinged yellow shades are likewise obtained.

DYEING INSTRUCTIONS 1 
2 parts of the dye obtained according to Example 1 are dissolved in 100 
parts of water at 20.degree. to 50.degree. C. with the addition of 5 to 20 
parts of urea and 2 parts of anhydrous Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3. A cotton fabric 
is impregnated with the resulting solution so that it increases by 60 to 
80% of its weight, and is then dried. Thereafter, the dyeing is 
thermofixed at 140.degree. to 210.degree. C. for 11/2 to 5 minutes and is 
then soaped in a 0.1% solution of an ion-free detergent at the boiling 
point for a quarter of an hour, rinsed and dried. 
DYEING INSTRUCTIONS 2 
2 parts of the dye obtained according to Example 1 are dissolved in 2000 
parts of water at 75.degree. C. with the addition of 120 parts of NaCl or 
anhydrous Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4. 100 parts of a cotton fabric are introduced 
into this dyebath and the temperature is kept constant for 30 to 60 
minutes. Thereafter, 10 parts of anhydrous Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 and 4 ml of 
30% sodium hydroxide solution are added. The temperature is kept at 
75.degree. to 80.degree. C. for a further 45 to 60 minutes and the dyeing 
is then soaped in a 0.1% solution of an ion-free detergent at the boiling 
point for 15 minutes, rinsed and dried. 
DYEING INSTRUCTIONS 3 
2 parts of the dye obtained according to Example 1 are dissolved in 100 
parts of water with the addition of 0.5 part of sodium 
m-nitrobenzenesulfonate. A cotton fabric is impregnated with the resulting 
solution so that it increases by 75% of its weight, and is then dried. 
Thereafter, the fabric is impregnated with a warm solution, at 20.degree. 
C., containing 5 g of sodium hydroxide and 300 g of sodium chloride per 
liter and squeezed off to a weight increase of 75%, and the dyeing is 
steamed at 100.degree. to 101.degree. C. for 30 seconds, rinsed, soaped in 
a 0.3% solution of an ion-free detergent at the boiling point for a 
quarter of an hour, rinsed and dried. 
DYEING INSTRUCTIONS 4 
2 parts of the dye obtained according to Example 1 are dissolved in 100 
parts of water. The solution is added to 1900 parts of cold water, 60 
parts of sodium chloride are added and 100 parts of a cotton fabric are 
introduced into this dyebath. The temperature is increased to 60.degree. 
C., 40 parts of anhydrous Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 and a further 60 parts of 
sodium chloride being added after 30 minutes. The temperature is kept at 
60.degree. C. for 30 minutes and the dyeing is rinsed and then soaped in a 
0.3% solution of an ion-free detergent at the boiling point for 15 
minutes, rinsed and dried. 
PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS 
2 parts of the dye prepared according to Example 1 are sprinkled, with 
rapid stirring, into 100 parts of a stock thickener containing 45 parts of 
5% sodium alginate thickener, 32 parts of water, 20 parts of urea, 1 part 
of sodium m-nitrobenzenesulfonate and 2 parts of sodium carbonate. A 
cotton fabric is printed on a roller printing machine with the printing 
paste thus obtained and the resulting printed material is steamed at 
100.degree. C. in saturated steam for 4 to 8 minutes. The printed fabric 
is then rinsed thoroughly in cold and hot water, during which the portions 
which have not been fixed chemically can be removed very easily from the 
fibre, and is then dried.
