(C. 260-148) 2 - It has been found that valuable new Copper For the dyestuffs of the type (a): 2-amino containing disazo dyestuffs are obtained by 1-hydroxy-, -methoxy- or -benzyloxybenzene coupling a diazotised amino Sulfonic acid of the 4-Sulfonic acid, 4- or 6-methyl-2-amino-1-hy benzene or naphthalene series, which contains, in droxy- or ethoxybenzene sulfonic acid, 4- or o-position to the amino group, a hydroxy group 5 6-chloro-2-amino-1-hydroxy- or -methoxyben or a Substituent convertible into a hydroxy group Zene Sulfonic acid, 4- or 6-nitro-2-amino-1-hy. by coppering, with a 1:3-dihydroxy-benzene, droxy- or -methoxybenzene sulfonic acid, then causing a diazonium compound which is 1-amino-2-hydroxynaphthalene-4-sulfonic acid, free from sulfonic acid groups to react with the 6-nitro-2-amino-1-hydroxynaphthalene - 4 -sul said monoazo dyestuff and after-treating the 0. fonic acid. so-obtained disazo dyestuff with copper-yielding For the dyestuffs of the type (b) and (c) : agents, with the condition that at least one of 3-amino-4-hydroxy-, -methoxy- or -chloro-1:1'- the diazo components is substituted by a phenyl diphenylsulfone-5- or -3'-sulfonic acid, 3-amino nucleus bound by a non-basic bridge. The same 4-hydroxy- or methoxybenzene-1-sulfonic acid copper-containing disazo dyestuff is obtained by 5 ethylanilide-3- or -4'-sulfonic acid, 3-amino coppering the monoazo dyestuff obtained from . 4-hydroxy- or -methoxybenzene-1-sulfonic acid the first diazo component and the 1:3-dihydroxy phenylester-3'-sulfonic acid, 3-amino-4-hy benzene and coupling this copper compound with droxy-1:1'-diphenylether Sulfonic acid, the second diazo component and also by finally The second diazonium compound can be ob treating the completely formed disazo dyestuff 20 tained from the following amines: with copper-yielding agents. For the dyestuffs of the type (a) and (c): As non-basic bridges between two phenyl or 6-methyl- or -methoxy- or -chloro nuclei of the diazo components there may be 3-amino-1:1'-diphenylsulfone, 4- or 6-methyl-, enumerated for instance: -methoxy- or -chloro-3-aminobenzene-1-sulfonic -SO2-, -SO2NC2H5-, -OSO2-, -O-, 25 acid ethylanilide, 4- or 6-methyl-, -methoxy- or -CO-, and the like. From the above definition ; : -chloro-3-aminobenzene-1-sulfonic acid phenyl the following three types of dyestuffs may be Or cresyl ester, 2-, 3- or 4-amino-1-hydroxyben derived: Zene-benzene, -toluene- or -chlorobenzene sul (a) The first diazonium component is mono fonic acid ester, 2- or 4-amino-i:1'-dipheny nuclear, while the second diazonium body con 30 ether, its alkyl- or halogen substitution products. tains two aryl nuclei linked together by a non- ; ; For the dyestuffs of the type (b): 2-methyl-, basic bridge, methoxy- or -chloro-4- or -5-nitro-1-amino benzene. (b) The first diazonium compound contains The dyestuffs obtained according to the present two aryl nuclei united together by a non-basic invention possess excellent drawing properties, bridge, while the second diazonium component 35 when applied to silk from a neutral dyebath. is mononuclear, and Beside good washing- and water-fastness prop (c) The first as well as the second diazonium erties they are especially distinguished by an compound contain two aryl nuclei bound to excellent light-fastness. - gether by a non-basic bridge.
