  • Patent number: 5196518
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of azo dyes of formula ##STR1## wherein K is the radical of a coupling component of the benzene or naphthalene series or of the heterocyclic series, and the hydroxy group is attached to K adjacent to the azo group, X is hydrogen or nitro and M is an alkali metal ion, which process comprises coupling a diazo component of formula ##STR2## in the presence of one or more buffer mixtures and in the absence or presence of an alkali metal chloride, to a coupling component of formula ##STR3## in which formulae (2) and (3) K and X are as defined for formula (1). The present invention makes it possible to prepare the azo dyes in high yields.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 1991
    Date of Patent: March 23, 1993
    Assignee: Ciba-Geigy Corporation
    Inventors: Horst Langfeld, Claudio Puebla, Gunter Sereinig
  • Patent number: 5153140
    Abstract: A process for controlling and optimizing chemical industrial processes for the preparation of dyes, fluorescent whitening agents and their intermediates, which process comprises controlling and optimizing those processes by differential analysis of the UV/VIS absorption spectra of at least one starting compound and of at least one reaction product. The advantage of this process is that the actual state of a process can be constantly measured, assessed, and used for feed-back and feed-forward control.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 1990
    Date of Patent: October 6, 1992
    Assignee: Ciba-Geigy Corporation
    Inventors: Horst Langfeld, Roland Minges, Claudio Puebla, Wilhelm Schmidt
  • Patent number: 5026830
    Abstract: Process for the preparation of azo dyes of the formula ##STR1## in which K is the radical of a coupling component of the benzene or naphthalene series or of the heterocyclic series in which the hydroxyl group is attached to K in a position adjacent to the azo group, X is hydrogen or nitro and M is an alkali metal ion or ammonium ion, which comprises coupling a diazo component of the formula ##STR2## in the presence of an alkali metal chloride and ammonium chloride with a coupling component of the formula (3) ##STR3## K and X in the formulae (2) and (3) being as defined under formula (1). The present invention allows the preparation of the said azodyes in high yields.
