Abstract

Coupling of 2-chloro anilino cyanurated acids with 5,5'-methylenebis(2-sulfobenzenediazonium) chloride to give the corresponding methylene based reactive dyes in good yields. They were characterized by nitrogen elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectra. The dyeing performance of synthesized dyes has been examined on silk, wool and cotton. The synthesized dyes gave moderate to good light fastness, good to excellent wash fastness and rubbing fastness.

Introduction

The structural development of new reactive dyes has been a subject of interest and many novel structures are useful in commercial application to wool, silk and cotton as well as their blends with other fibers has been discovered [1]. Reactive dyes have an efficient utilization and also a facile ease of washing out of the non-fixed portions which is the requirement of dyeing. They should have a high reactivity and good yield and should have produced high degrees of fixing in particular dyeing [2].

In the dye stuff research, reactive dyes are the newest addition and is the center of attention [3,4]. Hot brand reactive dyes are commercially important in reactive dyeing [5]. Due to their higher fixation yields on various fibres, they have been extensively recognized [6]. The popularity of reactive dyes is increased due to the ease of dyeing cellulosic fibres as they have wide range of shades, easy application and very good wet fastness properties. The structural improvement of reactive chromogens, number and selection of reactive groups led to an increment in their use [7].

The chemicals containing s-Triazine nucleus have been widely applied in different fields viz, dyes, , explosives, polymers, pesticides and trade good chemicals [8] as a result, experimental and theoretical research on these types of compounds have been widely carried out [9,10]. The s-triazine ring is an important conjugated heterocycle whose electronics properties are suitably different from those of benzene due to the alternate substitution of -CH- group by N atoms [11].

Materials and Methods

All the raw materials used were of commercial grade and were further purified by recrystallization and re-distillation before used. All the acid couplers were received from Atul Ltd., Valsad (Table 1). Melting points of all synthesized dyes were taken by open capillary method which expressed in °C and are uncorrected. Thin layer chromatography was carried out on silica gel G F254-coated aluminium sheets. IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer Model 377 system using the KBr pellet. 1H-NMR (400 MHz) in D2O solvent, TMS is an internal standard, for UV-vis absorption spectra, thermo scientific evolution 300. Spectrophotometer is used at the wavelength of maximum absorption (λmax) using water as solvent. The rota dyer instrument was used for dyeing in laboratory.

Synthesis

Synthesis of 5,5'-methylenebis-(2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) [3]

At 50°C concentrated hydrochloric acid (50 mL) is added to the aqueous solution of 0.1 mol Orthonilic acid [1] (17.3 g), followed by the addition of 35 mL 3% aqueous formaldehyde [2] solution at 60°C with constant stirring. The reaction mass was stirred for an hour with maintaining the temperature at 60°C, which is then neutralized with 10% sodium hydroxide solution to obtain 5, 5'-methylenebis-(2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) [3]. It was then filtered, washed with hot water, dried and recrystallized from alcohol. Yield: 88%, m.p. 130°C.

Tetrazotization of 5,5'-methylenebis-(2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) [4]

To the suspension of 5, 5'-methylenebis-(2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) [3] (3.58 g, 0.01 mol) in water (60 mL), conc. hydrochloric acid (1.5 mL) was added drop wise with stirring. To obtain clear solution, the temperature of mixture was gradually raised up to 70°C. Then the reaction mass was cooled at 0°C -5°C in an ice bath and NaNO2 (1.38 g, 0.02 mol) in water (16 mL) was mixed to the above solution over a period of five minutes with stirring. The mixture is stirred further for an hour by maintaining the temperature, with positive test for nitrous acid on starch iodide paper. The excess of nitrous acid was destroyed by sulphamic acid solution in water. The clear solution of titled product was obtained and used for coupling reaction.

Cyanuration of Bronner acid [7a]

In 25 mL acetone, Cyanuric chloride [6] (1.85 g, 0.01 mol) is added and stirred at below 5°C for an hour. To this solution, a solution of Bronner acid [5a] (2.23 g, 0.01 mol) in aqueous sodium carbonate (10% w/v), was then added in small portions. The pH was maintained 7.0 by subsequent addition of 1% w/v Na2CO3 solution. The reaction mass was further stirred at 0-5°C for 4 h to obtain a clear solution. The cyanurated bronner acid solution thus obtained was used for condensation reaction.

Synthesis of 2-chloro anilino cyanurated Bronner acid (9a)

The temperature of ice-cooled well stirred solution of compound [7a], (2.23 g, 0.01 mol) was gradually raised to 45°C for 30 min. To this mixture, the 2-chloro aniline [8] (1.275 g, 0.01 mol) was added gradually by maintaining the temperature at 45°C, during a period of 30 min. The pH was maintained at 7.0 by sodium bicarbonate solution (1% w/v). After the addition was done, stirring was continued for further 3 h. The 2-chloro anilino cyanurated Bronner acid solution was formed and proceeds further for coupling reaction.

Coupling of tetrazotized solution with 2-chloro anilino cyanurated acid coupling component (10a-1)

A freshly prepared tetrazo solution [4] (4.53 g, 0.01 mol) was added to an ice cooled solution of compound [9a] (9.24 g, 0.02 mol) over a period of 10-15 min. The pH was maintained at 7.5 to 8.5 by simultaneous addition of 10% w/v Na2CO3. Yellow solution was formed during coupling. By maintaining the same temperature, the stirring was continued for 3-4 h. The solution of NaCl was added for the precipitation of coloring material. The reaction mass then stirred for 1 h, filtered and washed with 5% w/v NaCl solution. The compounds [10a-l] was dried at 80-90°C and extracted by DMF. By adding excess of chloroform to the extract, the synthesized dye was precipitated. A yellow dye was then filtered, washed with chloroform and dried yield 88%.

Fastness properties [13]

Fastness to light was assessed in accordance with BS: 1006-1978 (Standard Test Method, 1994) [14]. The rubbing fastness test was carried out by using Crock meter (Atlas) in accordance with the AATCC-1961(AATCC Test, 1961) and the wash fastness was carried out in accordance with IS:765-1979 (Indian Standard,1979) [15]. All the dyes show generally fair to good light fastness properties. The washing and rubbing fastness properties ranges from very good to excellent fastness on silk, wool and cotton (Table 3).

Conclusion

Tetrazotization of 5, 5'-methylenebis-(2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) followed by coupling with various 2-chloro anilino cyanurated acid coupling components gave corresponding bisazo reactive dyes (10a-l). These dyes gave violet to yellow shade on silk, wool and cotton fibres. The dyeing performance of all these dyes on various fibres gave moderate to good light fastness, good to excellent wash fastness and rubbing fastness. The presence of triazine group of dye molecule improves the exhaustion, fixation and fastness properties. Thus, exhaustion and fixation of these dyes are very good in order.
