The invention also provides a process for preparing compounds of the formula (I). The present invention's compounds of the formula (I) can be prepared under conventional conditions in conventional processes.

In these processes, both the amine functions of compounds of the formula (II)


H2N—BR—NH2  (II)

which are known from the literature are conventionally diazotized and coupled onto totally two equivalents of a compound of the formula (IIIa) and of a compound of the formula (IIIb)

where the substituents are each as defined above an the sum of the compound of the formula (IIIa) and of the compound of the formula (IIIb) is two equivalents.

It should be clear to a person skilled in the art, that the statistical mixture of the different possible compounds will result in such a reaction procedure, wherein the diamine (II) is bis-diazotized and then reacted with the mixture of the compounds of the formulae (IIIa) and (IIIb). Furthermore, in case that one of the components (IIIa) and/or (IIIb) comprises position isomers it should be clear to a person skilled in the art, that this would result as well to the statistical mixture of the additional different possible compounds. As an example, the compound of the formula (IIIa) may consist of a mixture of the compounds (IIIa′) and (IIIa″), e.g. 15 weight-% of the compound of the formula (IIIa′) and 85 weight-% of the compound of the formula (IIIa″)

In these processes, the particular diamine is cooled to 0-10° C. or preferably to 0-5° C. and diazotized by adding nitrosylsulphuric acid or sodium nitrite. Afterwards, the bis-diazotized diamine is allowed to react with the compound (IIIa) or with the compound (IIIb), preferably in aqueous solution.

The dyes of the formula (I) can be isolated from the reaction medium by conventional processes, for example by salting out with an alkali metal salt, filtering and drying, if appropriate under reduced pressure and at elevated temperature.

Depending on the reaction and/or isolation conditions, the dyes of the formula (I) can be obtained as free acid, as salt or as mixed salt which contains for example one or more cations selected from alkali metal ions, for example the sodium ion, or an ammonium ion or alkylammonium cation, for example mono-, di- or trimethyl- or -ethylammonium cations. The dye can be converted by conventional techniques from the free acid into a salt or into a mixed salt or vice versa or from one salt form into another. If desired, the dyes can be further purified by diafiltration, in which case unwanted salts and synthesis by-products are separated from the crude anionic dye.

The removal of unwanted salts and synthesis by-products and partial removal of water from the crude dye solution is carried out by means of a semipermeable membrane by applying a pressure whereby the dye is obtained without the unwanted salts and synthesis by-products as a solution and if necessary as a solid body in a conventional manner.

The dyes of the formula (I) and their salts are particularly suitable for dyeing or printing fibrous material consisting of natural or synthetic polyamides in yellow to violet shades. The dyes of the formula (I) and their salts are suitable for producing Inkjet printing inks and for using these Inkjet printing inks to print fibrous material which consists of natural or synthetic polyamides or cellulose (paper for example).

The invention accordingly provides from another aspect for the use of the dyes of the formula (I), their salts and mixtures for dyeing and/or printing fibrous materials consisting of natural or synthetic polyamides. A further aspect is the production of Inkjet printing inks and their use for printing fibrous materials consisting of natural or synthetic polyamides.

Dyeing is carried out as per known processes, see for example the dyeing processes described in Ullmamns Encyklopädie der techliischen Chemie, 4th Edition, 1982, Volume 22, pages 658-673 or in the book by M. Peter and H. K. Rouette, Grundlagen der Textilveredlung, 13th Edition, 1989, pages 535-556 and 566-574. Preference is given to dyeing in the exhaust process at a temperature of 30 to 140° C., more preferably 80 to 120° C. and most preferably at a temperature of 80 to 100° C., and at a liquor ratio in the range from 3:1 to 40:1.

The substrate to be dyed can be present in the form of yarn, woven fabric, loop-formingly knitted fabric or carpet for example. Fully fashioned dyeings are even permanently possible on delicate substrates, examples being lambswool, cashmere, alpaca and mohair. The dyes of the invention are particularly useful for dyeing fine-denier fibres (microfibres).

The dyes according to the present invention and their salts are highly compatible with known acid dyes. Accordingly, the dyes of the formula (I), their salts or mixtures can be used alone in a dyeing or printing process or else as a component in a combination shade dyeing or printing composition together with other acid dyes of the same class, i.e. with acid dyes possessing comparable dyeing properties, such as for example fastness properties and exhaustion rates from the dyebath onto the substrate. The dyes of the present invention can be used in particular together with certain other dyes having suitable clromophores. The ratio in which the dyes are present in a combination shade dyeing or printing composition is dictated by the hue to be obtained.

The novel dyes of the formula (I), as stated above, are very useful for dyeing natural and synthetic polyamides, i.e. wool, silk and all nylon types, on each of which dyeings having a high fastness level, especially good light fastness and good wet fastnesses (washing, alkaline perspiration) are obtained. The dyes of the formula (I) and their salts have a high rate of exhaustion. The ability of the dyes of the formula (I) and their salt to build up is likewise very good. On-tone dyeings on the identified substrates are of outstanding quality. All dyeings moreover have a constant hue under artificial light. Furthermore, the fastness to decating and boiling is good.

One decisive advantage of the novel dyes is that they are metal free and provide very level dyeings.

The compounds according to the invention can be used as an individual dye or else, owing to their good compatibility, as a combination element with other dyes of the same class having comparable dyeing properties, for example with regard to general fastnesses, exhaustion value, etc. The combination shade dyeings obtained have similar fastnesses to dyeings with the individual dye.

The invention's dyes of the formula (I) can also be used as red components in trichromatic dyeing or printing. Trichromatic dyeing or printing can utilize all customary and known dyeing and printing processes, such as for example the continuous process, exhaustion process, foam dyeing process and Ink-Jet process.

The composition of the individual dye components in the trichromatic dye mixture used in the process of the invention depends on the desired hue. A brown hue for example preferably utilizes 20-40% by weight of a yellow component, 40-60% by weight of the invention's orange or red component and 10-20% by weight of a blue component.

The orange component, as described above, can consist of a single component or of a mixture of different orange individual components conforming to the formula (I). Preference is given to double and triple combinations.

Particularly preferred blue and/or yellow components are described in WO2002/46318.

In the examples which follow, parts and percentages are by weight and temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius.

PREPARATION EXAMPLE 1

29.1 parts of 3-[(ethylphenylamino)methyl]benzenesulphonic acid were suspended in 200 parts of water and dissolved by adding a small amount of sodium hydroxide solution (approx. 30% strength) at a pH 7-7.5. This solution was then admixed with a bis-diazonium salt solution prepared in a conventional manner from 43.0 parts of 1,2-(4,4′-diamino diphenyl)ethane and 50 parts by volume of 4N sodium nitrite solution at 0-5° C. The pH is held at 7.0-7.5 by metered addition of 15% sodium carbonate solution. After coupling had ended, the resulting dye of the formula

is salted out with sodium chloride, filtered off and dried at 50° C. under reduced pressure. On wool and in particular on polyamide fibres it produces orange dyeings having very good light and wet fastness properties (lamda(max) (λmax)=482 nm).

EXAMPLES 2-28

The tables I and II which follow contain dyes which can be prepared similarly to the method described in Example 1 by using the corresponding starting materials. These dyes provide orange dyeings having very good light and wet fastnesses on polyamide fibres and wool.
