Granted: 1903-07-09
Abstract: 20,375. Abel, C. D., [Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin Fabrikation]. Sept. 18. Dyes, artificial.-Polyazo dyes, which dye cotton fibre without a mordant intense bluish-black to greenish-black shades, are produced by acting with diazo compounds upon diazo dyes which are obtained by combining a tetrazotized diamine, such as benzidine, tolidine, or dianisidine, first with amidonaphthol disulphonic acid-H in acid solution and then with alpha- or #-naphthylamine, or #-naphthol, or a monosulphonic acid thereof. An example is given in which the disazo dye from benzidine, amidonaphthol disulphonic acid-H, and alpha-naphthylamine is acted upon with diazobenzene. #-Naphthol and its sulphonic acids yield bluer shades than the naphthylamines and their sulphonic acids.
