Abstract: A compound of formula (I): in which A is a C alkylene group with a chain length between NH and N(O)R?R? of at least 2 carbon atoms and R? and R? are each separately selected from C1-4 alkyl groups and C2-4 hydroxyalkyl and C2-4 dihydroxyalkyl groups, or R? and R? together are a C2-6 alkylene group, is formulated so that upon dissolution in aqueous solution the pH of the solution is in the range of 5 to 9. The compound may be in the form of salt with a physiologically acceptable acid having a pKa in the range of ?3.0 (minus 3.0) to 9.

Abstract: This invention pertains to certain novel colorant compounds containing one or more ethylenically-unsaturated, photopolymerizable radicals that may be copolymerized (or cured) with ethylenically-unsaturated monomers to produce colored compositions such as colored acrylic polymers. Suitable compositions having the present colorants copolymerized therein include, e.g., polymers produced from acrylate and methacrylate esters, colored polystyrenes, and similar colored polymeric materials derived from other ethylenically-unsaturated monomers. The present invention also pertains to processes for preparing the photopolymerizable colorant compounds. The ethylenically unsaturated colorant compounds may be suitable for use in coatings that are applied to wood, glass, metal, thermoplastics and the like.

Abstract: Process for preparing amino- and carbamoyl-substituted anthraquinones by Diels-Alder reaction of an N-butadienylcarbamic acid ester of the formula H.sub.2 C.dbd.CH--CH.dbd.CH--NH--COOR.sup.2, wherein R.sup.2 is alkyl or phenylalkyl, with a 1,4-naphthoquinone or with 1,4-benzoquinone to form a carbamoyl-substituted hydroanthraquinone intermediate and by oxidation of this intermediate with an oxygen-containing gas in a tertiary amine and in the presence of a copper salt to obtain a carbamoyl-substituted anthraquinone product. The Diels-Alder reaction and the oxidation reaction can be carried out as a one-pot synthesis or in separate steps. The carbamic acid ester reactant provides a blocking group represented by --COOR.sup.2, and this blocking group is optionally removed by treatment of the carbamoyl-substituted anthraquinone with an alkaline hydroxide solution.

Abstract: A method of producing a UV lightfast disperse dyestuff comprising selecting a disperse dyestuff having predetermined chromophoric groups, selecting a photostabilizer compound, designing a hybrid disperse dye molecular structure which contains the chromophoric groups of the selected disperse dyestuff and also contains the molecular structural features of the selected photostabilizer compound, and synthesizing the thus designed hybrid disperse dyestuff molecule. Such a method produces a hybrid dye molecule which is a UV lightfast analog of a disperse dyestuff having predetermined chromophoric groups, said hybrid dye molecule containing in its molecular structure the chromophoric groups of the selected disperse dyestuff and also containing the molecular structural features of a photostabilizer compound.
