Abstract

Abstract A process for making yellow, basic azomethine dyes for paper, leather and textiles; the process being an improvement in the process of reacting an azo dye base precursor of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is phenyl or substituted phenyl, with dimethyl sulfate in solution, and in the presence of an acid-binding agent, the improvement comprising reacting dimethyl sulfate in a molar excess of from 100% to 300% per mole of precursor, in an aqueous solution having at least 30 weight percent water and from 2.0 to 3.5 moles of magnesium oxide (as the acid-binding agent) per mole of precursor.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 179 words
In a process for making solutions of dyes of the formula ##STR10## comprising reacting a precursor of the formula ##STR11## wherein A is phenyl or phenyl substituted by 1 to 3 groups selected from C 1-4 alkyl and C 1-4 alkoxy, and X is an anion, with dimethyl sulfate in solution and in the presence of an acid-binding agent, the improvement comprising (i) reacting dimethyl sulfate in a molar excess of from 100% to 300% per mole of precursor, in an aqueous solution having at least 30 weight percent water and from 2.0 to 3.5 moles of magnesium oxide per mole of precursor, and (ii) adjusting the constituency of the solution made in step (i) to produce a dye solution comprising 5% to 50% by weight of dye, 10% to 95% by weight of at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, benzyl alcohol, diacetone alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and 0 to 40% by weight of water.
