Of all the above-specified compounds of the formula (I),

above-s~ecified formula I, in which proces~ sul.fonylchloride
groups which may still be present are simultaneously or sub-
sequently saponified to give sulfo groups.
The deacylation to be optionally effected is to be
carried out while considering that the sul~onamide bond having
been formed in the preceding reaction, needs to be maintaine~,
the deacylation is therefore carried out accordingly while
applying analogous methods known for such kind of cases, for
example, by heating with diluted aqueous sodium hydroxide
solution at a pH value of from 8 to 10 and at a temperature in
the range of from 30 to 50C.
The reduction of the nitro group to be optionally carried
out may also be effected in an analogous m.anner of known pro-
cesses, for-example by heating with sodium sulfide in a neu-
tral or alkaline aqueous medium at a pH value of from 7 to 10
and at a temperature in the range of from 30 to 60 C.
The reaction of the phthalocyanine sulfochlorides of the
general formula II with the amines of the general formula III
may be carried out in an aqueous medium. However, the reac tiOII
can also be advantageously effected in an organic solvent,
such as an organic solvent miscible with water, for example,
a lower alkanol, such as methanol, ethanol, in N-methyl.pyrro-
li.done, dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide, or in an
aqueous-organic medium, the organic solvent being a solvent
miscible with water, for example one of the above-mentioned
solvents.
The reaction of the compounds of formula II with the
amines of the formula III is advantageously carried out at a
29 temperature in the range of from about -10 C to about 110 C.

In this connection it is advantageous, - depending on the
reactivity and reaction rate of the sulfochloride groups - ~
to start the reaction at a low temperature, for example at a
temperature of from - 10C to ~20C, especially at O to 10C,
to maintain the maJor part of this reaction pro.ceeding in an
exothermic manner, at this temperature and to subsequently
heat up to a temperature of from 20 to 50C or, if necessary,
up to about 100 C, in order to complete the reaction.
If the reaction rate of sulfochloride groups or their
number is small, it is also possible to carry out the reacti.on
at a starting temperature of from 20 to 55C. l`he process is
then effected in an advanced dilution or under strong cooling,
or one of the reaction components is added to the other
slowly.
Furthermore, it is advantageous to carry out the re-
action of the phthalocyanine sulfochlorides with the amines
of the formula III in the presence of an acid-binding agent,
for example an alkali metal hydroxide, alka.li metal carbonate,
alkaline earth metal carbonate, alkali metal phosphate, a:L-
kali metal acetate or a tertiary organic amine, in order to
bind the hydrogen chloride being set free. As acid-binding
agents of this kind there are to be mentioned in particular:
Sodium and potassium acetate, sodium and potassium bicarbo-
nate, sodium and potassium carbonate, sodium-dihydrogeno-
phosphate, disodium-hydrogeno-phosphate, trisodium phosphate
or the corresponding potassium salts thereof. It is also
possible, however, to use an excess amount of the amine of the
formula III instead of one of the above-mentioned acid-bin-
29 ding agents. The use of an excess amount of an amine of the

formula III is recommended in any case, if a complets reaction
of all sulfochloride groups present in the compound of the
formula II with the amine of the formula III is to be achieved.
The amines of t~e formula III are oxidation-sensitive~ It
is therefore recommended to carry out the reaction of these
amines with the phthalocyanine sulfochlorides of the formula
II with the exclusion of air by superposing, for example, the
reaction mixture with an inert gas, such as nitrogen. Howcver,
the reaction may also be carried out in the presence of small
amounts of compounds acting as antioxidants, such a~ sodiun
dithionite or hydrazine.
The phthalocyanine compounds of the formula (I) of the
invention are isolated according to analogous methods which
are known to persons skilled in the art, for example, by se
paration with filtration, if the reaction product is insoluble
in the reaction medium, or by precipitation with water or an
appropriate organic solvent, if the reaction product is so-
luble in the other solvent used, and/or by precipitation wikh
acidification with a mineral acid and subsequent filtratioll.
Z0 However, there is no need to isolate the reaction products if
they are present in a dissolved form; they may be used in this
form for further processing.
The phthalocyanine sulfonamide compounds thus obtained of`
the fo~mula I may be isolated in the form of the free acid if
they contain acid groups, and be converted in an analogous
manner known to a chemist into the salts thereof, preferably
into their alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or
ammonium salts.

present in the form of their acid salts of the amino group
standing in ortho-position to the sulfonamide group, for ex-
ample in the form Or the hydrochlorides, sulfates or hydro-
genosulfates.
The novel compounds of the formula I are excellently
suitable as dyestuffs according to the invention, especially
for the dyeing and printing of natural and synthetic fibrous
materials, such as natural cellulose, for example cotton,
linen, hemp, of regenerated cellulose, of natural polyamide
fiber materials, such as wool and sillc, and of synthetic poly-
amide fiber materials, such as polyamide-6, polyamide-66, poly-
amide-11, of polyester fibers, for example polyesters from
terephthalic acid and hexanediol, or of polyacrylonitrile
fibers, as well as of mixtures of these types of fiber among
each other.
In order to produce dyeings and prints by means of the
compounds of the formula I, said compounds are applied in
common manner, as it is known for dyeing and printing pro-
; ces6es~ flom an aqueous or aqueous-organic medium onto the
fibrous material and are subsequently exposed on the fiber to
the action of nitrous acid, The appIication of the compounds
of the formula I onto the various fibrous materials may be
effected from an aqueous-alkaline, aqueous-neutral or aqueous-
acid solution; the aqueous solutions may also contain an or-
Z5 ganic solvent miscible with water, for example, methanol,
ethanol, N-methylpyrrolidone. According to the methods common
for dyeing and printing processes it is also possible to add
the usual auxiliary agents and manufacturing agents to the
, 29 dyestuff solution~. The fibrous materials having been treated

with these soluti.ons or printing pastes of the dyestllffs of
the formula I in the dye bath or preferably by padding or
printing, are subsequently subjected to the action of nitr~us
acid; a drying process at a temperature in the range of from
30 to 80 C may optionally be interposed before-the nitrous
acid treatment.
The process for fixing the novel compounds may be
carried out by treating the pre-dyed fibrous material in an
aqueous bath of an alkali metal nitrite, such as sodium ni-
trite, or by padding it over with an aqueous solutioll of this
alkali metal nitrite, then optionally drying the material
and treating it subsequently in an aqueous bath of an inorga-
nic acid, such as hydrochloric, chloroacetic or sulfuric acid,
preferably hydrochloric acid, the bath having a normality of
from about 0.5N to 3N of this acid, at a temperature in the
range of from 0 to 30 C, or by padding the material over with
an acid solution of this kind. However, if the fibrous ma~
terials have been treated beforehand with allcaJ.ine solutions
or printing pastes of the dyestuffs of the formuJ.a I, an al-
kali metal nitrite, such as sodium nitrite, may already be
added to these alkaline solutions or printing pastes, and the
fibrous materials thus having been treated with the alkaline
solutions or pastes are subsequently subjected, optionally
after a drying process, to an acid treatment, for example in an
acid bath, or by being padded over with an acid solution,
for example an aqueous 0.5N to 3N hydrochloric, chloroacetic
or sulfuric acid solution.
The action of the nitrous acid on the compounds of the
29 formula I during the dyeing process which occur~ in a

reaction of the ortho-amino-sulfcnanilide moiety, effects
that the no~el compounds lose partially or entirely their
solubility and are thus fast-fixed on or in the fibrous
material. In this manner, the compounds of the formula I of
the invention yield dyeings or prints which are distinguished
by a good fastness to washing, to water, to rubbing, to
perspiration, to chlorine and to light.
The following Examples serve to illustrate the invention.
