Abstract:

A polyfunctional reactive dye containing two dichloro-s-triazine residues linked through aliphatic amino groups via a third triazine system to the chromophoric residue has been prepared. The dye was synthesised stepwise from a specially synthesised 2,4-dichloro-s-triazine dyes. The first step is the reaction of both carbon-chlorine sites in the `parent' dye with 2 mol ethylenediamine under selected conditions of pH and temperature; these conditions ensure that only one of the amino groups in the ethylenediamine will react to give the bis-2,4-aminoethyleneaminotriazine dye. The second step is the condensation of 2 mol cyanuric chloride with the two pendant primary amino groups. The alkylamino-linked dichloro-s-triazine dyes show very different dyeing properties when compared with those shown by the parent dichloro-s-triazine dye, which has the reactive group linked directly into the aromatic chromophore; in particular, the new dyes have high fixation efficiencies when dyed on cotton at 50 °C and the dye-fibre bond stability to boiling acidic conditions is very good.
