course of sulfonation m~xtures of isomers are apparently~ formed; in this pro-
cess sulfonation takes place exclusively in the aromatic rings, preferably on
the benzoxanthene or benzothioxanthene dyestuff nucleus. Accordingly, no
compounds are described which carry a sulfonic acid group in the side chain
, N-R-group in final position. For in this known process, fuming sulfuric
acid is preferably used to effect the sulfonation of the nucleus; with the
rather low temperature of 70 - 100C a mixture of mono- and disulfonated pro-
ducts ~Example 1) is formed, at higher temperatures of 125 - 130C, however,
a product is obtained the nuclei of which are sulfonated twice (Example 2).
German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2 150 879 als~ d~scribes the use of such
; nucleus-sulfonated dyestuffs of the formula ~I) for the dyeing and printing
of fibr0 materials of natural and synthetic polyamides and polyurethanes.
Moreover, it describes dyestuffs carrying in the aliphatic side chain a sul-
fonic acid group via the imide, N-R; but they additionally contain at least
. i , .
;~ a further sulfonic acid group in the benzoxanthene or benzothioxanthene ring
~ skeleton.
These dyestuffs sulfonated in the benzoxanthene and benzothioxanthene
nuclei provide very brilliant dyeings, but with regard to some properties they
do not entirely comply with the requirements for dyestuff in our day. Espe-
cially the sensitivity towards alkalis of the dyeings prepared with these dye-
~ stuffs is cr~ticized. Furthermore, they do not provide even dyeings on materi-
als of texturized polyamide fibres showing different drawing.

Now, better novel water-soluble compounds have been found which do
not contain sulfo groups in the benzoxanthene and -thioxanthene skeleton and

To isolate the compounds obtained according to the different vari-
ants of the process described above the reaction mixture, if necessary (cf.
process b.-l and b.-2), is stirred with ice water in usual manner, and the
pH is adjusted to 5 - 7 with sodium carbonate solution; the novel compound is
subsequently salted out with sodium or potassium chloride, suction-filtered
and dried.
The dicarboxylic acids used as starting compounds and the anh~drides
thereof of the general formulae (2) and (3) as well as the imides thereof of
the general formulae (10), (11) and (13) and the carboxylic acids required for
preparing the acid chlorides (15) may be obtained for example according to the

The novel compounds of the formula ~1) have proved excellentl~ suit-
able as brilliant dyestuffs for dyeing and printing natural and synthetic

intense reddish to greenish yellow very brilliant dyeings, which partly have
an intense green fluorescence and show a fastness to light and to wetting

which is unusually high ~or this class o~ dyestu~s. Their dyeings and prints
are generally distinguished by a very good fastness to light in a dry and wet
state, by good to very fastness to washing, also in the presence of perborates
or peroxides as well as other bleaching agents, such as hypochlorite, as well
as ~y a good acidic and alkaline fastness to perspiration, cross-dyeing, pot-
ting, fulling, water, sea water, alkalis, acid and rubbing. These novel dye-
stuffs also have a good absorption capacity with the fibres mentioned above,
a good color build-up and accordingly, a high tinctorial strength. The dye-
ings obtained with these dyestuffs are furthermore characterized by a very
good evenness; they provide even dyeings on texturized polyamide material.
It may also be pointed out that the novel dyestuffs have a very
good solubility in water, even in cold water, that they cause no or only an
insignificant blocking when dyeing in dyestuff mixtures, that they show a
good resisting property in the dyeing of mixed fabrics, especially at the
higher temperatures of about 100 to 230C necessary for example for the
thermofixation process, and that their aqueous dyestuff solutions, padding
-I liquors and printing pastes have a good viscosity property and a small sensi-
tivity towards electrolytes.

The dyestuffs are above all superior to the dyestuffs of next com-
!.1 2Q parable structure from German Offenlegungsschriften Nos. 2 017 764 and
2 150 879 in respect of various tinctorial properties and fastnesses to use
and to processing, for example absorption capacity, color intensity, the even
~ dyeing of texturized polyamide containing differently drawn fibre moieties,
;~ fastness to alkalis and fastness to alkaline perspiration. On the fibre ma-
terial mentioned, some of these dyestuffs also provide in mixture with suit-
able blue dyestuffs very brilliant green shades having a very good fastness to
- light and to wetting.

EXAMPLE 1:
.
30.4 ~arts o~ benzothioxanthene-3,4-dicarboxylic acid anhydride were
suspended in 330 parts o~ dimethylformamide and refluxed for 8 hours together
with a solution of 14.5 parts of 2^amino~ethane-sulfonic acid and 7.8 parts of
potassium carbonate in 180 parts of water. A~ter cooling to room temperature
200 parts of a 15% potassium chloride solution were added until the imide com-
pound had completely precipitated. After some time the whole was suction-
filtered, washed wi~h a 10% potassium chloride solution and dried at 100C.

were obtained in the form of the potassium salt. This novel compound dissolves
in water with a yellow color and provides according to usual dyeing processes
on wool and polyamide brilliant golden yellow dyeings having a good fastness
to light and to wetting.
EXAMPLE 2:
32 Parts of 10-methoxybenzoxanthene-3,4-dicarboxylic acid anhydride
~^ere introduced into a solution of 13.1 parts of 2-amino-ethane-sulfonic acid
and 5.3 parts of sodium carbonate in 500 parts of water and heated, while
stirring, in the pressure autoclave for 6 hours at 140C. After cooling the
i~i~de compound obtained was completely precipitated with 40 parts of sodium
chloride, suction-filtered and washed with a 10% sodium chloride solution.
