ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
An improved process for the preparation of a fiber-reactive dye-
stuff of the xanthylium-9-phenyl-2'-sulfonate series which contains in the 3-
position an amino radical of the formula -NR1R2 in which R1 and R2 each are
hydrogen or optionally substituted alkyl, and containing in 6-position an amino
radical of the formula
<IMG>
in which R3 is hydrogen or alkyl, A is a mononuclear or binuclear aromatic ra-
dical, m is 0, 1 or 2, n is 0 or 1 and p is 1 or 2, and in which .gamma. is a fiber-
reactive group of the formula
<IMG> (2)
or
<IMG> (3)
wherein R4 is hydrogen or alkyl, q is 0 or 1 and Z is hydroxy, sulfato, phos-
phato, halogen or an acyloxy group, in which process 1 mol of a 3,6-dihalogeno-
xanthylium-9-phenyl-2'-sulfonate compound is reacted step wise with at least
1 mol of each of two amino compounds corresponding to the required 3- and 6-
substituents in the dyestuff, in a purely organic medium, the monocondensation
product first formed being subsequently reacted, after neutralizing the acid
formed, with the second amino compound, the reactions being carried out between
about 70 and about 200°C in the presence of an acid-binding agent, and the di-
amino-xanthylium compound thus formed is optionally esterified in the .beta.-hy-
droxy-ethylsulfone group by means of a sulfatizing, a phosphorylating, a halo-
genating or an acylating agent, the esterified dyestuff thus obtained being op-
tionally converted into a dyestuff containing the group of formula (2) by
treating it with an alkaline agent, characterized by carrying out the reactions
mentioned without isolating any intermediate in a solvent containing carbon-
amide groups, or in a polar aprotic solvent, whereby precipitation and drying

of said diamino-xanthylium compound is no longer necessary. This implies a
considerable saving of time, the amounts of esterification agents are con-
siderably reduced, and smaller reaction volumes can be used so that the
space/time yield as well as the yields of dyestuffs are increased substan-
tially.

Suitable sulfatizing agents are for example concentrated
sulfuric acid, olewn in different concentrations, sulfur
trioxide, chlorosulfonic acid, amidosulfonic acid or other
compounds yielding sulfur trioxide. Suitable phosphylating
age~lt~ are for example concentrated phosphoric acid, pyro~,
meta- or polyphosphoric acid, polyphosphoric acid alkyl esters
or mi~tures of phosphoric acid and phosphorus(V)-oxide. A~
halogenating agents there may be used for example thionyl
`chloride or thionyl bromide. As acylating agents there may
be used for example acetanhydride of acetyl chloride.
The xanthene dyestuffs of the general formula (1) obtained
according to the process of the invention are isolated by
precipitating them with another solvent, optionally after
neutralizing the reaotion mixture with alkaline agents, as
for example ~odium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bi-
carbonate, sodium acetate or the corresponding potassium
compound~. i
As precipitating agents may be used for example carbon
tetrachloride, chloroform, methylene chloride, acetone,
methanol, ethanol, butanol and benzene.
In contradistinction to the process described in &erman
Offenlegungsschrift No. 1,955,849, the new process has the
following advantagess
Since in the novel process the condensation and the
subsequent esterification of secondary reactions in the
radical Y are carried out without intermediate i~olation,
the improvement of the process of the invention i8 especially
advantageous in view of the fact that the precipitation and
29 dryin~ prooedure of the xanthylium compound~ of the formula (7)
-13_

1060436 HOE 7 31~' 2 1 8
are no longer necessary. This implies a considerable saving
of time. Eurthermore, the use o~ an organic solvent for the
purely organic reaction medium means that the amounts of
e~terification agents necessary for converting the dyestuffs
of the formula (7) into those of the formula (1), such as
sulfatizing, phosphorylating, halogenating and acylating
agent~, are considerably reduced. Thus, in the werking up, ¦~
the large amounts of sulfates, phosphates, chlorides, bromides
~nd acetates do no longer occur. The novel process has the
further advantage that considerably smaller reaction volumes
can be used and that the space/t~me yield is considerably :
increased,
Furthermore the solvents used in the process as reaction
medium or precipitating agent - the filtrates are mostly
S solv~nt~ - can ~e regenerated by distillation with a good
yield and u~ed again for the purpose indicated. In contra- ;~
distinction to the process described in German Offenlegungs-
~chrift No. 1,955,849~ by which the compounds of the formula
(7) are isolated by salting out and therefore, waste-waters
having a strong salt concentration are obtained, problems
concerning wa~te-waters and the above-mentioned mineral salt-
~as well as ecological provisions caused by them, need no longer
be considered in the novel process.
Furthermore, the novel process provides improved yields
with regard to the known process.
The following Examples illustrate the invention. Parts
and percentages are by weight unless ~tated otherwise. The
relationship of parts by weight and parts by volume is as grams
29 to cubic centimeters.

chloric,acid formed was neutralized with sodium carbonate
and the whole was further reacted at 110C for 3 hours with 1`
16.1 parts of N-methyltaurine-sodium and ~.3 parts of sodium
carbonate. Within 2 hours and at a temperature of 40-50 C,
,10 20-33 parts of chlorosulfonic acid were added and the
dyestuff formed was isolated b~ diluting with methanol and
neutralization with a methanolic sodium or potassium hydroxide
'solution. The dyestuff precipita ed as sodium or potassium
~alt was filtered off, washed with methanol and dried. It
corresponds in tho form of the free aoid to the formula
f"~ S03(~
H035-C~z-cH2~ ~ 502-Cli2-C112-0503
It was obtained as a red brown powder which dis~olved in
water with a bluish red color and yielded on cotton in the
p~resence of sodium bicarbonate very ~rilliant bluish red
dyeings and prints having a good fastness to washing.
The same dyestuff wa~ obtained if in the e~terification
in~tead of chlorosulfonic acid the equivalent amounts of
sulfur trioxide or a 65 ~ oleum were used.

The operation was carried out as described in Example 1
ancl instead of chlorosulfonic acid 35 parts of~amidosulfonic
acid were used. After esterification a~ 105 C t~e whole was
cooled and the dyestuff which was obtained as ammonium salt
wa~ precipitated with methylene chloride. After washing with
methylene chloride and drying, a dark red powdcr was obtained,
which dissolved in water with a bluish red color and yielded
on wool bluish red dyeings fast to washing.

20.1 Parts of 4-aminophenyl-B-hydroxy-ethyl-sulfone were
reacted at 100 C with 3.6-dichloro-xanthylium-9-phenyl-2'-
sulfonate in 200 part~ of N,N-dimethyl-acetamide. When the
condensation was finished the resulting hydrochloric acid was
neutralized with sodium carbonate~ the whole was further
conden~ed at 115C for three hours wlth 16.1 parts of N-methyl-
taurine-sodium and 5.3 parts of sodium carbonate. Then it
was esterified with 30 part~ of chlorosulfonic acid in two
hours at about 50 C and subsequently neutralized with sodium
carbonate, while cooling. When the neutral point was reached,
6 parts of sodium carbonate were added and the whole was heated
for half an hour to 55 C. The sodium carbonate still present
was neutralized with glacial acetic acid, the mixture wa-
~precipitated with acetone, filtered, washed with acetone and
dried. The dyestuff which corresponds in the form of the free

- 40.5 Parts of 3,6-dichloro-xanthylium-9-phenyl~2~-sulfonate
were dissolved at 80-85C in 200 parts of N-methyl-acetamide.
At this temperature, 16.1 parts of N-methyltaurine-sodium
were slowly introduced. After ~tirring for some time the
mixture wa~ neutralized with 5.3 parts of ~odium carbonate ~o
that the reactlon mixture always remained slightly acidic,
and ~ub~equently 20.1 parts of 3-aminophenyl-B-hydroxy-ethyl-
sulfone were introduced and additionally 5.5 parts of sodium
carbonate. After stirring for some time at 140C the con-
densation was finished~ and the whole wa~ esterifisd with
24 parts of sulfur trioxide at 50C. The mi~ture was diluted
while cooling, with ethanol. Then it was neutralized, while
cooling, wtth 105 parts of potassium acetate, the precipitated
potassium salt of the dyestuff, which corresponds in the form
of the free acid to the formula of Example 1, wa~ filtered off
and wa~hed with ethanol. After drying a red violet powder
was obtained which dissolved in water with a bluish red color.
