PATENT OFFICE MAX ALBERT KUNZ, OF MANNHEIM, AND KARL KdBE-RLE, O1 LUDWIGSHAFEN -ON-THE- BHINE, GERMANY, ASSIGNORS TO GENERAL ANILINE- WORKS, INC-,0! NEW YORK,
N. Y., A. CORPORATION OF DELAWARE rnonucme var nvns'rurrs No Drawing. Application flled J'anuary 11, 1928, Serial No. 246,078, and in Germany January 14, 1927.
pended claims, is meant to comprise msbenzdianthrones, ms-naphthodianthrones, allo-ms-naphthodianthrones, ms-anthradianthrones, dibenzanthrones and isodibenzanthrones. Accordingly the said anthrone radical combinations are compounds containin g one of the r'ollowing ring systems:
The anthrone radical combinations maybe substituted by any negative substituents such as halogen atoms or nitro groups and the like. As nitrogenous compounds containing at least one reactive hydrogen atom on the nitrogen atom which may be condensed with the said anthrone radical combinations, aminoanthraquinones and their derivatives are particularly suitable, since the introduction of the anthraquinonylamine radicle substantially dyestuffs. The condensation mayalso be effected with ammonia, carbazol, isatine, toluenesulphamide and other nitrogenous compounds of the kind specified. The reaction is preferably carried out in solvents or suspension agents of high boiling point, such as nitrobenzene, naphthalene, andlthelike, and in the presence of catalysts such as copper or copper compounds or of acid-fixing agents,
faciliates the vatting of the new or both. In most cases it proceeds quantitatively.
Depending on the a Working conditions adopted, the halogen atoms in those ofthe said anthrone radical combinations, which contain several halogen atoms, may be wholly or partially replaced by the nitrogenous radicle, and the resulting products give exceedingly fast brown-yellow or grey to blue-black or violet-black'dyeings on cotton from brown or blue to brown-violet or bluish-violet vats. Analogous dyestuffs are also obtained by condensing intermediate products containing at least one negative substituent, which intermediate products on further condensation yield the said anthrone radical combinations, with a nitrogenous compound containing at? least one reactive hydrogen atom on the nitrogen atom and then further condensing the reaction products to dyestuffs containing one of the above described ring systems. As'intermediate products of the said kind may be mentioned dianthraquinonyls, dibenzan-' thronyls, or 2.2 dimethyl ms benzdian thrones containing a negative substituent. Those of the said dyestuffs which contain more than one linking ring between the anthrone radicals may also be produced when further condensing the dyestuffs obtained from anthrone radical combinations containing a smaller number of linking rings such as those derived from ms-naphthodianthrones allo-ms-naphthodianthrones or vmsanthrac'lianthrones in the manner described in our copending application for patent Ser. No.,199,420. Thus, for instance, a dyestuif similar to tri-aminoanthraquinonyl-msnaphthodianthrone obtainable from tribromms-naphthodianthrone, and an amino-anthraquinone can be obtained by condensing the reaction product between tribrom-ms-benzdianthrone and an amino-anthraquinone with aluminium chlorid. Instead of starting from tribrom-ms-benz-dianthrone also tribromanthraquinonyl may be used as initial material which after condensation with an amino- 1 anthraquinone may be first condensed to tri- Lat.
amino-anthraquinonylms benz dianthrones and the latter then condensed by means for instance of aluminium chlorid to tri-aminoanthraquinonyl-ms-naphthodianthrone.
For the purposes of the present invention it is not necessary that the anthrone radical v combinations or the intermediate products leading to the formation of the said combinations are substituted by a negative substituent and the other compound to be condensed i therewith contain a nitrogen atomto which at least one reactive hydrogenatom is attached, but analogous dyestuffs are obtained when condensing anthrone radical combinations or the said intermediate products containing anitrogen atom to which at least one reactive hydrogen atom is attached, with another compound which is substituted by at least one negative substituent. v
The following examples willfurther'illustratethe nature of this invention but the, in
