Description: The present invention relates to a novel trisazo dye. More particularly, it relates to an aqueous ink composition containing the trisazo dye and a process for producing a concentrated solution containing the trisazo dye. Heretofore, as a writing ink or jet printing ink used for recording on materials to be recorded (e.g. paper, etc.) or an ink for dyeing fibers, hides and the like, various polyazo dyes have been employed. The polyazo dye consists mainly of a direct dye and, therefore, a dyeing process is simple and fastness is comparatively excellent. The polyazo dye having such an advantage is widely employed in the industry. However, regarding the polyazo dye, there is a problem to be solved. Firstly, there is a problem about chemical properties, because excellent chemical properties such as stable solubility of dye, stability of concentrated dye solution with time and stability of dye density with time are required for dyes which are used for the writing ink. Secondary, there is a problem about safety, because safety of chemical substances has recently been noted and dyes having excellent safety which have no bad influence upon a human body is required. As the dye wherein dyeing properties and fastness are improved, for example, benzidine or benzidine derivative based black trisazo dyes or polyazo dyes (e.g. C.I. Direct Black 19, C.I. Direct Black 154, C.I. Direct Black 168, etc.) have widely been used. However, these dyes have a problem about safety for human body because Ames test gives false positive or positive results. On the other hand, as the polyazo black dye wherein safety for hyman body is improved, for example, food colors (e.g. recording solution wherein Food Black 2 is used as a recording agent, etc.), 4,4'-diaminodiphenylamine-2-sulfonic acid (substituent for benzidine) based trisazo dyes (such as those described in GB-A-1 524 403), stilbene tetrakisazo dyes having no amino group in a molecular structure and the like. However, an aqueous ink wherein these dyes are used has poor water and light resistance of writing and, therefore, dyeing properties and fastness are inferior. Polyazo dyes which satisfy the above properties have never been obtained. Further, a water-soluble dye is separated from an aqueous system by the means such as aciding-out, salting out and the like. However, it is difficult to obtain a dye having high purity because of inclusion of an inorganic salt upon separation, whereby, various problems are caused. For example, when a dye having low purity is used for an aqueous writing ink, there is a disadvantage that an ink is not constantly fed to a pen point. Also, when the dye having low purity is used for a jet printing ink, clogging of outlet orifice is arisen. One object of the present invention is to provide a trisazo dye having excellent chemical properties (e.g. dyeing properties, fastness, hue, solubility) and safety. Another object of the present invention is to provide an aqueous ink composition containing the trisazo dye. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing a highly purified trisazo dye concentrated solution. These objects have been achieved by the provision of a trisazo dye represented by the formula (I) wherein A is a phenyl group substituted with at least one substituent selected from an amino group, a substituted amino group and a hydroxyl group, B is a substituted or non-substituted phenyl group, X is a group of the formula: Q is a group of the formula: (wherein n is 1 or 2), and M is hydrogen, alkali metal, aliphatic alkyl ammonium or alkanol ammonium , an aqueous ink composition containing the trisazo dye and a process for producing a concentrated solution containing the trisazo dye.

Fig. 2 is a graph illustrating a visible spectrum of a trisazo dye of another embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 is a graph illustrating a liquid chromatography of a trisazo dye of one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 4 is a graph illustrating a liquid chromatography of a trisazo dye of another embodiment of the present invention. The trisazo dye of the present invention is an azo dye having a bond group of the formula: or which is introduced into a molecular structure by tetrazotization of 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene or 1,3-(4-aminophenoxy)benzene. The dye of the formula (I) of the present invention is obtained by a process including the steps of: tetrazotizing 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene or 1,3-(4-aminophenoxy)benzene (1 mol) of the formula: wherein R is as defined above ,by a normal method to obtain a tetrazonium salt (step 1): adding an aqueous solution containing 1 mol of a compound of the formula: (e.g. 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid ) to the resulting tetrazotized solution to conduct coupling (step 2); adding a diazotized diazo component B (1 mol) to the reaction solution to obtain a bisazo dye (step 3); adding a coupling component A (1 mol) to the reaction solution to conduct coupling to obtain a trisazo dye (step 4); and concentrating and purifying the resulting reaction solution (step 5). The reactions or operation conditions used in the above steps 1 to 5 are known to the art. Preferred examples of the diamino compound used in the step 1 include 1,4'-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene and 1,3-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benezene. Preferred examples of the coupling component used in the step 2 inlcude i-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid (hereinafter referred to as "H acid"), 1-amino-8-naphthol4,6-disulfonic acid (hereinafter referred to as "K acid"), 1-amino-8-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (hereinafter referred to as "S acid"), 4-amino-8-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid (hereinafter referred to as "M acid"), 3-amino-8-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid (hereinafter referred to as "J acid") and 2-amino-8-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid (hereinafter referred to as "γ acid"). It is preferred to use H acid, K acid, S acid and J acid, particularly H acid. Preferred examples of the diazo component B used in the step 3 include non-substituted or substituted anilines [e.g. aniline, o-, m- and p-toluidine, o-, m- and p-xylidine, anisidine, cresidine, p-nitroaniline, p-chloroaniline, ethylaniline, p-(sec-butyl)aniline] and aminobenzene derivatives such as aminobenzenesulfonic acids (e.g. orthanilic acid, methanilic, sulfanilic acid ). It is particularly preferred to use aniline, sulfanilic acid and p-(t-butyl)aniline. Preferred example of the coupling component A used in the step 4 include phenol derivatives (e.g. o-, m- and p-aminophenol, resorcin, catechol, cresol, 4-t-butylphenol, 4-hydroxyanisole, chlorophenol, acetylaminophenol ), N,N-diethylaniline, N-(β-oxyethyl)aniline and N,N-di(β-oxyethyl)aniline. It is particularly preferred to use m-aminophenol and resorcin. The trisazo dye of the present invention thus obtained has the same light resistance as that of a benzidine or tolidine azo dye as well as excellent water resistance (water resistance of writing) in comparison with the above azo dye, and is superior in solubility to an aqueous medium. Further, the trisazo dye of the present invention is nontoxic trisazo dye which gives negative results in a back mutation test using an organism, which is generally known as a test method for evaluating toxicity, i.e. AMES test (mutation test). The sulfonic group in the trisazo dye of the present invention can be converted into an alkali metal or ammonium salt, like several azo dyes having the sulfonic group. Further, it can also be converted into an amine salt with fatty amine or alkanolamine. As the amine used for preparing the trisazo dye of the present invention, for example, there are aliphatic amines [e.g. butylamine, dibutylamine, sec-butylamine, di-t-butylamine, n-, iso-, sec- and t-amylamine, hexylamine, pentylamine, octylamine, 2-ethylhexylamine, di-(2-ethylhexyl)amine, dodecylamine]; alicyclic amines (e.g. cyclohexylamine, di-cyclohexylamine); alkoxyalkylamines [e.g. 3-ethoxypropylamine, di-(3-ethoxypropyl)amine, 3-butoxypropylamine, octooxypropylamine, 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)propylamine]; alkanol group-containing amines (e.g. ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-cyclohexyl-N-ethanolamine and N-dodecylimino-di-ethanol ). By converting the sulfonic group in the trisazo dye of the present invention into an amine salt, a water-soluble or alcohol-soluble dye can be prepared depending upon a kind of the above basic compound. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a reverse osmosis method is used in the step 5 of concentrating and purifying a solution which contains the trisazo dye of the present invention obtained in the steps 1 to 4. By the concentration/purification step, a conventional problem which is caused by inclusion of impurity upon separation of the water-soluble dye is solved. The reverse osmosis method is a concentration method employing a phenomenon wherein a solvent is transferred through a semipermeable membrane from a concentrated solution side to a dilute solution side by applying a pressure larger than an osmotic pressure to the concentrated solution side which is partitioned from a dilute solution by the semipermeable membrane. Preferred examples of the semipermeable membrane used in the concentration/purification step include reverse osmosis membranes (e.g. acetylcellusole membrane, synthesized high polymeric composite membrane, chargeable synthesized polymeric composite membrane ). The concentration/purification step in the present invention is conducted by cycling a reaction solution containing the trisazo dye of the present invention obtained in the steps 1 to 4 while applying a pressure of about 3.9 to 7.8 bar (4 to 8 Kgf/cm 2 ) to one side of a pressure resistance acryl vessel which is partitioned by the semi-permeable membrane, until a conductivity of permeated water becomes 1 µs or less. According to the concentration/purification step using the reverse osmosis method, a concentration of the dye solution is optionally controlled to 10 to 20 % by weight. The concentrated solution of the dye thus obtained has high purity and is stable for a long period of time. Preferably, the concentrated solution of the present invention is a trisazo dye solution, which comprises 15 % by weight of a trisazo dye of the formula (I) and 85 % by weight of a medium (water). The present invention also provides an aqueous ink composition comprising a trisazo dye of the formula (I) and an aqueous medium. As the preferred examples of the aqueous organic solvent used for the aqueous ink composition of the present invention, for example, there are lower alcohols such as monovalent alcohols (e.g. ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol, n-butanol, diacetone alcohol); monoalkyl ethers of diols (e.g. ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether ); monoacetates of diols (e.g. ethylene glycol monoacetate, polypropylene glycol monoacetate ); benzyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, divalent alcohols (e.g. glycols such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediol), trivalent alcohols (e.g. glycerin, trimethylolpropane, 1,2,6-hexanetriol ), dioxane, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and ethyl lactate. It is particularly preferred to use low toxic or nontoxic iso-propanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol monoalkyl ether or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The preferred amount of the organic solvent in the aqueous ink composition of the present invention is 5 to 95 % by weight, preferably 10 to 80 % by weight, more preferably 15 to 30 % by weight, based on the total weight of the ink composition. The amount of the trisazo dye in the aqueous ink varies depending upon the application of the ink and is not specifically limited. It is preferred that the amount is generally 5 to 10 % by weight for a ball-point pen, 5 to 15 % by weight for a marking pen and 3 to 10 % by weight for a jet recording ink. According to the purpose to be used, there can be used a suitable amount of additives which are normally used, for example, water-soluble resins (e.g. low condensate of vinyl pyrrolidone, water-soluble alkyd resin, water-soluble acrylic resin ), alcohol-soluble resins (e.g. alcohol-soluble phenol resin, acrylic resin, styrene maleic resin, ketone resin ), preservatives, pH adjustors and surfactants. The aqueous ink composition of the present invention thus obtained can be used for various inks having excellent dissolution stability and stability in addition to writing ink and jet recording solution, and the resulting writing thereof is fast. Further, when the aqueous solution of the trisazo dye obtained by the process of the present invention is used for dyeing cellulose fibers or hides, build-up property is excellent and fast dyeing can be conducted. The following Examples and Comparative Examples further illustrate the present invention in detail but are not construed to limit the scope thereof.
