This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 717,747 filed on Mar. 28, 1985 now abandoned.

## Background
The invention relates to novel useful reactive dyes of the formula I ##STR3## in which F is a radical of a metal-free or metal-containing monoazo or disazo dye which contains at least one --SO.sub.3 H--group, a radical of a derivative of 1-aminoanthraquinone or 1-anilinoanthroquinone, in particular a radical of a 4-phenylamino-1-aminoanthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid derivative, or a radical of a sulfophthalocyanine dye, in particular of a phthalocyaninesulfanilide or -sulfalkylamide (having 2-6 C atoms in the alkyl chain) derivative which carries at least two sulfo groups in the phthalocyanine nucleus, or a radical of a formazan, phenazine, oxazine or nitroaryl dye, alkyl having 1 to 4 C atoms, cyanoethyl or hydroxyethyl, phenylsulfonyl or a --SO.sub.3 H-- radical, ##STR4## where the alks are independently of each other polymethylene radicals having 2 to 6 C atoms or their branched isomers, and in which Z is a .beta.-halogenoethyl or a vinyl or .beta.-sulfatoethyl or .beta.-thiosulfatoethyl or .beta.-acetoxyethyl radical.

Fiber-reactive dyes is to be understood as meaning dyes which are capable of reacting with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose or with the reactive centers of natural or synthetic polyamides to form covalent chemical bonds. The radical F in the formula I can come from any known class of dye, but it preferably is a member of the anthraquinone, the metal-free or metal-containing monoazo or disazo, the phthalocyanine, the formazan or nitroaryl series. Preference is given to dyes according to the invention in which F is a dye radical of the anthraquinone, the metal-free or metal-containing monoazo or disazo or the phthalocyanine series.

Preferably F contains two to four sulfur groups.

The substituent R is hydrogen or a straight-chain or branched low molecular weight alkyl group having 1 to 4 C atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or n-butyl, 2-methylpropyl, sec.-butyl, tert.-butyl, or is a substituted alkyl radical, such as carboxymethyl, sulfomethyl, sulfoethyl, cyanoethyl, .beta.-chloropropyl or .beta.-hydroxyethyl.

Preferably R is the methyl radical. Particularly preferably R is hydrogen.

Substituents X are in particular chlorine, bromine, fluorine, alkylsulfonyl, we [sic] methylsulfonyl or ethylsulfonyl, phenylsulfonyl or an --SO.sub.3 H radical.

Preferably X is a chlorine or fluorine atom.

Preference is also given to reactive dyes of the formula (I) in which the alks are independently of each other C.sub.2-4 -alkylene radicals.

The invention relates in particular to dyes of the formula I in which Z is a the .beta.-chloroethyl radical and X is a halogen atom.

The reactive dyes of the general formula I are prepared by . . . (sic) a dye of the formula V ##STR5## in which F, R and p are as defined above and X and X', independently of each other, have one of the meanings mentioned above for X, with an amine of the formula IIa ##STR6## in which alk is a polymethylene radical having 2 to 6 C atoms or its branched isomers and in which .beta.-thiosulfatoethyl or .beta.-acetoxyethyl radical.

The dyes of the general formula V are prepared by reacting a dye of the formula III ##STR7## in which F, R and p are as defined above, with a reactive derivative of the 1,3,5-triazine of the formula IV ##STR8## in which X and X', independently of each other, have one of the meanings mentioned above for X.

The preparation of dyes of the formula V and the reactive dyes of the formula I according to the invention can also be advantageously combined, so that first a dye of the formula III is reacted with a reactive derivative of the 1,3,5-triazine of the formula IV to give a dye of the formula V and that the latter dye, without prior isolation, is then reacted with an amine of the formula IIa or II'a to give a reactive dye of the formula I according to the invention. The reaction of the dyes of the formula III with the tri-azine derivatives of the formula IV is advantageously carried out at low temperatures, for example between -2.degree. and +10.degree. C., preferably between 0.degree. and 5.degree. C., within a pH range between 1.5 and 9, preferably between 4 and 6, in the presence of acid-binding agents, such as sodium hydroxide solution, sodium carbonate or sodium hydrogencarbonate.

The solvent used is preferably water which contains a certain amount of organic solvents, for example acetone. Yet the reaction can also be carried out in pure water.

For the further reaction of the dyes of the formula V which are obtained in this way with the amines of the formula IIa or II'a the amines are advantageously employed in the form of a salt, preferably in the form of a hydrochloride. The reaction is carried out at elevated temperature, for example between 5.degree. and 70.degree. C., preferably between 5.degree. and 30.degree. C., within a pH range from 2 to 6.5, preferably 3.5 to 4.5, in the presence of acid-binding agents, preferably sodium bicarbonate.

If the dye radical F is composed of a plurality of components, as in the case of, for example, azo dyes or formazan dyes, the dyes of the formula I according to the invention are also obtainable by building them up in a manner known per se from components of F, of which one or, if desired, two contain a group of the formula Va ##STR9## in which R, X and X' are as defined above.

These components are obtained by acylating the corresponding components, which contain a group of the formula IIIa ##STR10## with a reactive triazine derivative of the formula IV under conditions which correspond to those described above in the case of the corresponding reaction of the dye. The dyes thus obtained are then reacted with an amine of the formula IIa or IIIa in the manner described above to give a dye of the formula I according to the invention.

The amines of the formula IIa or II'a where Z is a .beta.-halogenoethyl radical are prepared by reacting an amine of the formula IIa or II'a which contains a chlorine atom in place of the --SO.sub.2 --Z group with .beta.-hydroxyethylmercaptan in an alkaline medium and subsequently oxidizing the resulting thioether with halogen in halohydric acid solution in accordance with the teaching of German Pat. No. 887,505. Amines of the formula IIa or II'a in which Z is a vinyl radical can be obtained from the amines of the formula Ila or II's [sic] in which Z is .beta.-halogenoethyl through elimination of hydrogen chloride.

An analogous method can be used to obtain dyes of the formula I according to the invention in which Z is vinyl from dyes of the formula I according to the invention in which Z is .beta.-chloroethyl, namely through elimination of hydrogen chloride, for example by treatment at 50.degree. to 60.degree. C. with sodium hydrogencarbonate in water.

Specific examples are: trichlorotriazine, tribromotriazine, trifluorotriazine, trisulfotriazine, trismethylsulfonyltriazine, trisethylsulfonyltriazine, dichlorofluorotriazine, chlorodisulfotriazine, chlorobismethylsulfonyltriazine and trisphenylsulfonyltriazine.

The dyes of the formula III in which F is a radical of one of the formulae VIa to VIc can be obtained in the case where n=0 in a manner known per se, namely by diazotization of suitable aromatic amine and coupling onto suitable coupling components, of which either the diazo component or the coupling component or both contain a radical of the formula ##STR12## or the coupling component contains [. . . sic] radical of the formula ##STR13## and the acyl group is split off after the coupling by hydrolysis.

To prepare disazo dyes of the formula III, that is to say those in which F is a radical of one of the formulae VIa-VIc where n=1, first the diazonium compound of a suitable aromatic amine is coupled on a suitable middle component. The middle component is in principle any benzene or naphthalene derivative which contains a diazotizable amino group. Subsequently, the aminoazo compound which is then present is diazotized and coupled onto a suitable coupling component, either the diazo component of the first coupling or the coupling component of the second coupling or both containing a radical of the formula ##STR14## and the acyl group is split off after the coupling by hydrolysis.

The conditions of this reduction are known per se. A reducing agent which is known for this purpose is alkali metal sulfide, which, at temperatures of 40.degree. to 70.degree. C. in an aqueous medium, reduces the nitro group without attacking the azo group.

The reactive dyes of the formula I according to the invention are highly suitable for dyeing and printing cellulose and cellulose-containing materials. In particular in printing they are distinguished by a uniformly high degree of fixation, irrespective of the kind of fixing method employed, be it for example fixing by steaming or dry-heat or a one- or two-step method. Very good results are also obtained with the various dyeing methods, for example with exhaust dyeing methods or pad-batch methods or pad-thermofixing methods. The resulting dyes and prints are of high brilliance and tinctorial strength combined with very good light fastness properties, when in the wet state, very good wet fastness properties, such as to washing at 60.degree. and 95.degree. C., and good end-use fastness properties, such as fastness to seawater, acid and alkaline perspiration fastness, fastness to chlorinated water, peroxide fastness and fastness to gas fume fading. The dyes are also distinguished by insensitivity to atmospheric factors.

Very good results are also obtained on applying the dyes by reactive dyeing methods to polyamides, in particular wool. In this case the noteworthy properties, apart from very good light fastness, are in particular the outstanding wash and perspiration fastness properties and the excellent buildup.

To precipitate the hydrolyzed dye, the dye solution has added to it 10% of potassium chloride and 15% of sodium chloride, it is brought to neutral pH with 22 parts of 10N hydrochloric acid, is cooled down to 20.degree.-25.degree. and is filtered, and the filter cake is washed with 600 parts of salt water (density 1.142).

At this pH stirring is continued for an additional 2 hours during which the temperature is maintained at 15.degree. to 20.degree..

After the diazonium suspension and the solution of coupling component have been combined, the coupling mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours during which the pH is maintained at 6.0 to 6.5 by sprinkling in 70 parts of sodium carbonate a little at a time. After the coupling has ended, the temperature is raised to 50.degree. , 40 parts of kieselguhr are added, the solution is clarified (filtered), and the filtrate is if desired treated with 50 parts of disodium phosphate and is spray-dried.
