Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Azo Dye-stuffs.
Inventor: ELLIS GEORGE BELOE
Filed: 1903-07-02
Granted: 1904-06-16
Abstract: 14,768. Ellis, G. B., [Chemische Fabrik vorm. Sandoz]. July 2. Dyes, artificial.-New black azo dyes for wool are obtained by diazotizing amidoazo or secondary amido-disazo compounds, prepared from diazotized sulphonic acids of the benzene or naphthalene series, or diazotized amidoazo sulphonic acids, by combining them in an alkaline !solution with 1.8-amidonaphthol 3.6-disulphonic acid and coupling the new diazo bodies thus obtained with the naphthylamines or naphthols or with the sulphonic acids of the naphthols, amidonaphthols, or dioxynaphthalenes. In an example, naphthionate is diazotized and coupled with 1.8-amidonaphthol 3À6 sodium disulphonate, water, and soda. The violet monoazo colour obtained is diazotized, and the diazo compound salted out. A paste of this body is then gradually introduced into a solution of #-naphthol, caustic soda, and sodium carbonate. After three hours the dye-stuff is complete. It is then neutralized, heated to 80‹ C., salted out, filtered, pressed, and dried. Similarly, diazotized monoazo dyes containing 1.8 amidonaphthol 3.6 disulphonic acid in the end position may be combined with naphthol, amidonaphthol, and dioxynaphthalene sulphonic acids. The naphthylamines are coupled as chlorides. The addition of an alkali acetate accelerates the process. In another example, the disazo colour resulting from diazotized 2.6.8 - naphthylamine disulphonic acid and alpha-naphthylamine by a second diazotization is combined in alkaline solution with 1.8-amidonaphthol 3.6-sodium disulphonate. The product is acidulated, cooled down to 10‹ C., and further diazotized with nitrite. To the thick greenish black paste a solution is added of -naphthylamine, hydrochloric acid, and water. After 24 hours stirring, the new dye-stuff is salted out at the boil and filtered off.
