Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a process for the preparation of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrroles of formula (1) ##STR1## wherein each of R 1 and R 2 independently of the other is an alkyl or aralkyl group or an isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical, which process comprises reacting an ester of formula (2) or (3) ##STR2## with a nitrile of the formula R 2 CN, in which formulae each of R and R' independently of the other is an alkyl or aryl group, and R 1 and R 2 are as defined above, in the presence of a strong base in an organic solvent. The invention also relates to compounds of formula (8) ##STR3## wherein R 3 in an alkyl or aralkyl group or an ortho-substituted isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical and R 4 is an alkyl or aralkyl group or an isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical. The pyrrolopyrroles obtained are valuable pigments for coloring compounds of high molecular weight such as plastics and lacquers in yellow to red shades of excellent fastness properties.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 58 words
A method for the mass coloration of organic material of high molecular weight which comprises incorporating in said organic material an effective coloring amount of a compound of formula (8) ##STR44## wherein R 3 is an alkyl, aralkyl or ortho-substituted isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical, and R 4 is an alkyl, aralkyl or isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 58 words
A method for the mass coloration of organic material of high molecular weight which comprises incorporating in said organic material an effective coloring amount of a compound of formula (8) ##STR44## wherein R 3 is an alkyl, aralkyl or ortho-substituted isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical, and R 4 is an alkyl, aralkyl or isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 42 words
A method according to claim 1 where in the compound of formula (8) R 3 is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R 4 is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or is unsubstituted or substituted phenyl or naphthyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 42 words
A method according to claim 1 where in the compound of formula (8) R 3 is an ortho-substituted isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical, and R 4 is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or is unsubstituted or substituted phenyl or naphthyl.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 127 words
A method according to claim 1 where in the compound of formula (8) R 4 is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or is a radical of the formula ##STR45## wherein each X, Y and Y' independently is a hydrogen or halogen atom, a carbamoyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano, C 2 -C 6 alkylcarbamoyl, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, C 1 -C 6 alkylmercapto, C 2 -C 6 alkoxycarbonyl, C 2 -C 6 alkanoylamino or C 2 -C 6 dialkylamino group, or is a phenoxy, phenylmercapto, phenoxycarbonyl, phenylcarbamoyl or benzoylamino group which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl or C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, at least one of the substituents X, Y and Y' being a hydrogen atom.
