Title: The Manufacture and Production of Mordant Dyeing Colouring-matters.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1899-10-20
Granted: 1900-08-18
Abstract: 21,030. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Oct. 20. Dyes, artificial.-New dyes, which probably belong to the oxazine class, are produced by heating a nitroso-alkyl-m-amidophenol in aqueous or dilute acid solution, either alone or preferably in presence of a reducing-agent, such as a ferrous salt, or, preferably, stannous chloride. Nitrosodimethyl-, nitroso-diethyl-, and nitroso-monoethylm-amidophenol are instanced as parent materials. The products are characterized by yielding, when treated in solution with a mineral acid, a brilliant green solution or precipitate. They yield very stable lakes with ordinary metallic mordants, and dye chrome-mordanted wool and silk shades fast to milling and light. They also dye unmordanted wool, which may be subsequently chromed, and chrome-mordanted cotton, and they may be used in printing with chromium salts.
