Abstract

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 127 words
In a process for the preparation of an azo pigment whereby a diazo of an aromatic amino sulfonic acid is coupled into 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid and whereby said pigment is optionally converted into the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or manganese salt thereof, the improvement which comprises: (1) forming an aqueous alkaline solution of 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid, containing up to about a 20 percent molar excess over that amount stoichiometrically required to couple with said diazo com-(2) adding to said solution an amount of alkali metal hypochlorite to produce in situ 1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid, such that the amount thereof comprises from about 1 to 10 percent by weight, based on the total weight of 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid and 1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid; and (3) adding thereto an aqueous solution of said diazo compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 127 words
In a process for the preparation of an azo pigment whereby a diazo of an aromatic amino sulfonic acid is coupled into 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid and whereby said pigment is optionally converted into the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or manganese salt thereof, the improvement which comprises: (1) forming an aqueous alkaline solution of 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid, containing up to about a 20 percent molar excess over that amount stoichiometrically required to couple with said diazo com-(2) adding to said solution an amount of alkali metal hypochlorite to produce in situ 1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid, such that the amount thereof comprises from about 1 to 10 percent by weight, based on the total weight of 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid and 1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid; and (3) adding thereto an aqueous solution of said diazo compound.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 11 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the hypochlorite is sodium hypochlorite.
