  • Patent number: 4757135
    Abstract: Water-soluble copper formazan compounds of the general formula ##STR1## in which: Y is vinyl or ethyl which is substituted by a substituent eliminatable under alkaline conditions; the benzene nucleus A can be substituted by further substituents;M is hydrogen or a metal;B is substituted or unsubstituted phenylene or naphthylene;Z.sup.1 is hydrogen or a water-solubilizing group, or --B--Z.sup.1 together denote hydrogen, carboxy, cyano or nitro;D is a substituted or unsubstituted benzene or naphthalene radical; andR is hydrogen or a group of the formula ##STR2## in which R* is hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl, n denotes the number zero or 1, and Y.sup.2 is defined in the same manner as Y.These copper formazan compounds possess fiber-reactive dye properties and dye particular cellulose fiber materials in deep reddish blue to greenish blue fast shades.

  • Patent number: 4607098
    Abstract: Copper complex formazan compounds useful as dyestuffs and having fiber-reactive dyestuff properties, which are capable of providing fast, deep dyeings and prints on fiber materials, preferably of cellulose and polyamide fibers, have the following structural formula ##STR1## in which m and n are 1 or 2, A is a benzene ring or a naphthalene ring, either of which is necessarily substituted by the sulfo group in the ortho-position relative to the N-atom and which can optionally be further substituted with one to three substituents; B is phenyl or naphthyl, either of which can be substituted or unsubstituted;M is hydrogen or one equivalent of a metal;X is hydrogen or sulfo;Z is hydrogen or a group which confers water-solubility, one or both of which--besides the sulfo group necessarily required in the o-position relative to the N-atom of the hydrazone component A--are bonded to A on an aliphatic or aromatic carbon atom,Z.sup.

  • Patent number: 4585459
    Abstract: A process is described for separating sodium sulfate from aqueous solutions, containing less than 2% by weight of chloride, of certain fiber-reactive copper-formazan dyestuffs wherein this dyestuff solution is cooled down to a temperature between +5.degree. C. and -15.degree. C. In the course of the cooling the sodium sulfate precipitates in the form of the decahydrate and can be separated off in conventional manner, for example by filtration. The products obtained in this way are liquid low-salt aqueous copper-formazan dyestuff preparations which contain less than 4% by weight of sodium sulfate.

  • Patent number: 4336190
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel copper complex formazan compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which M is hydrogen or the equivalent of a metal and R is hydrogen or chlorine. The invention also relates to a process for their manufacture. The compounds can be used as dyestuffs, in particular fiber reactive dyestuffs for dyeing cellulose fiber materials, wool, or synthetic polyamide fiber materials for example, on which they exhibit intense blue dyeings having good fastness properties.
