An d-dinitro benzothiophene an sion. Further, the invention relates to d-aroyl thraquinone is thereby formed wherein the a amino benzothiophene anthraquinones, corre nitro groups apparently occupy the 15- and 1.8- sponding to the aforesaid d-amino derivatives positions of the anthraquinone nucleus. The a and prepared therefrom by reaction with an aryl dinitro compounds are thereupon Subjected to re. carboxylating agent, which are valuable vat dye 5 duction, for example, by heating with an aqueous stuffs suitable for producing colorations on cellu alkali metal sulfide solution, yielding the corre losic fiber and textiles by conventional vat dyeing sponding diamino - benzothiophene anthraquin or printing procedures. OneS. ". The novel dyestuffs of this invention are pre Additional amino groups can be introduced in pared from benzothiophene anthraquinones, ad 20 to the remaining unsubstituted alpha-positions vantageously obtained by the process of our co of the anthraquinone nucleus by acylating the pending application, Serial No. 53,148 filed Octo aforesaid adianino compounds, with oxalic acid, ber 6, 1948, now U.

Upon subsequent aging to effect reoxida tion on the fiber, strong yellow shades of excel Eacample 2 lent fastness properties are produced. 5 The a-diamino-benzothiophene anthraquinone The invention is illustrated by the following of Example 1 is converted to the corresponding examples Wherein the parts and percentages are a-dioxaminic acid by heating it with four times by weight and the temperatures are in degrees its Weight of oxalic acid at a temperature of centigrade. 100-150 until the unreacted diamino compound Eacample 1 is no longer present. Excess oxalic acid is re Owed from the reaction mixture by extraction 47.1 parts of benzothiophene anthraquinone with: Water, and the residue is dried and subjected prepared by condensing phthalic anhydride with to nitration with a mixture of concentrated sul dibenzothiophene in the presence of aluminum furic acid. and nitric acid by the same procedure chloride, and heating the resulting ortho-2-di as that described in Example 1. The nitrated benzothenoyl benzoic acid with an equimolecular product is recovered by drowning the mixture in mixture of Ortho-phosphoric acid and phosphorus ice water. The oxaminic acid groups are recon pentoxide at 170° for 10 minutes, were introduced verted to amino groups by heating with dilute at a temperature below 40° into an agitated mix aqueous caustic Soda. Solution, and the nitro ture of 150 parts of concentrated sulfuric acid groups of the resulting nitrated a -diamino-benzo and 17 parts of a mixture of nitric acid and thiophene anthraquinone are reduced to amino concentrated sulfuric acidina, ratio of 1:2. When groupS by heating with aqueous sodium sulfide, as the addition is complete, the mixture is agitated described in Example 1. The resulting insoluble at 40° for 1 hour, then cooled to 20° and poured a-polyamino-benzothiophene anthraquinone is into ice water. Alpha-dinitro-benzothiophene 25 recovered from the reaction mixture, by filtration, anthraquinone is thereby precipitated, and re Washed with water and dried.
