The coπpound may be incorporated by blending with granules or powdered plastics material by, for example, dry tumbling or high-speed mixing followed by injection moulding on a screw machine or by conventional compounding/masterbatching techniques. The present dyes generally dissolve or disperse readily in hot plastics melt and provide bright coloration generally with good clarity and good light fastness.

The compounds of Formula (1) may be obtained by usual methods for the preparation of anthraquinone compounds such as by oxidation of anthracene or substituted anthracenes with potassium dichromate in sulphuric acid or by reaction of a phthalic anhydride with benzene or a substituted benzene in the presence of aluminium chloride followed by ring closure in hot sulphuric acid. Fluorosulphonyl groups may be introduced into the compounds of Formulae (1) or (2) by methods generally available in the literature. For example reaction of a coπpound of Formulae (1) or (2) with chlorosulphonic acid optionally in the presence of dimethylformamide and thionylchloride at a teπperature of from 30°C to 100°C gives the chlorosulphαnyl derivative. The chlorosulphαπyl derivative may be reacted in boiling aqueous media with potassium fluoride to give the fluorosulphonyl derivative. Alternatively a coπpound of Formulae (1) or (2) may be sulphonated with sulphuric acid or oleum to give the sulphαnic acid derivative which may be converted to the chlorosulphonyl derivative by reaction, either of the free acid or an inorganic salt thereof, with thionylchloride optionally in the presence of a chlorcphosphorus coπpound such as phosphorus oxychloride or phosphorus pentachloride in an organic liquid such as an aromatic hydrocarbon at a teπperature of from 20°C to 110°C. The chlorosulphonyl derivative may then be converted to the fluorosulphonyl derivative as described above. The compounds of Formulae (1) and (2) are useful for the coloration of synthetic textile materials particularly polyester textile materials and fibre blends thereof to which they iπpart colours which have excellent wet and light fastness properties. The compounds of Formulae (1) and (2) are also useful for the mass coloration of plastics as described above and iπpart bright colours generally with good clarity and lightfastness.
