Heterocyclyl-azo-phenyl dyes having a cationic group linked through a branched alkylene chain to the nitrogen atom of the coupling component radical

Abstract

Abstract Compounds of the formula <IMAGE> in which R1 signifies a substituted thiazole, thiadiazole, isothiazole, oxadiazole or thiophene radical, R2 signifies hydrogen or an optionally substituted hydrocarbon radical, R3 signifies hydrogen or an optionally substituted alkyl radical, R4 signifies hydrogen or an alkyl radical which is unsubstituted or substituted by an aryl radical, K(+)signifies an ammonium, cycloimmonium, hydrazinium, aminoxide or optionally substituted etherified hydroxyammonium group, An(-)signifies an anion, n signifies 1, 2 or 3, and the ring B is unsubstituted or monosubstituted, provided that at least one of R3 and R4 is other than hydrogen, and provided that the molecule does not contain a water-solubilizing group. The compounds are useful as basic azo dyes, for dyeing and printing polyacrylonitrile, acrylonitrile copolymers, polymers of asymmetrical dicyanoethylene, polyamides and polyesters modified to contain acid groups, leather, cellulosic materials and paper and for the mass coloration of plastics. The dyes are well-soluble in water, have good salt compatability and give level dyeings having good fastness to light, wet treatments, heat treatments and solvents.
