Abstract
Abstract N,N'-dimethyl-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide is obtained as a valuable pigment of a pure red shade, by reacting perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid anhydride at low temperatures with a dilute aqueous solution of at least the four-fold molar amount of methylamine. The so-obtained bis-ammonium salt of the bis-N-methyl amide is then heated without isolation to effect ring closure while splitting off two mols of water and two mols of methyl amine. The product can be used without any finish operation or can be after-treated to yield a pigment of an exceptionally high transparency or of a good hiding power.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
In a process for preparing a pigmentary form of N,N'dimethyl-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide by reacting perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid anhydride with an excess of methylamine in aqueous solution in two steps, the improvement comprising: reacting said anhydride with a solution of at least a 4-fold molar amount of said amine at a temperature below 30° C., then heating the reaction mixture to a temperature of 70° to 150° C. and isolating the pigment.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
In a process for preparing a pigmentary form of N,N'dimethyl-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide by reacting perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid anhydride with an excess of methylamine in aqueous solution in two steps, the improvement comprising: reacting said anhydride with a solution of at least a 4-fold molar amount of said amine at a temperature below 30° C., then heating the reaction mixture to a temperature of 70° to 150° C. and isolating the pigment.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
N,N'-dimethyl-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide pigment obtained by the process defined in claim 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said bis-(methylamide) is reacted further without isolation.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first stage is performed at 0° to 10° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein per each mol of said anhydride 4 to 8 mols of methylamine are added.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction is performed in the 10 to 25-fold amount of water, referred to the weight of said anhydride.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction takes place in the presence of a surfactant.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process as claimed in claim 7, wherein the surfactant is a resin acid or a watersoluble resin soap.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
39 words
A process as claimed in claim 8, wherein the resin acid or resin soap is precipitated onto the reaction product by adding a metal salt capable of forming a resin soap which is sparingly soluble or insoluble in water.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process as claimed in claim 8, wherein the amount of resin acid or resin soap is 2 to 20%, referred to the weight of said anhydride.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
15 words
