Description
LIGHTFAST DISPERSE DYESTUFFS
Field and Background of the Invention This invention relates to lightfast disperse dyestuffs and to methods of designing and preparing such dyestuffs. In particular, this invention relates to disperse dyestuffs which are so designed that their molecular structures impart lightfastness ~;
to the dyestuff. -~
Disperse dyestuffs were developed for use in dyeing hydrophobic synthetic fibers such as :: ~ . ..-cellulose acetate, nylon, polyester and acrylics.
In recent years considerable development has been directed to producing new disperse dyestuffs with improved properties for many new applications.
One of the most important considerations in ;`~
determining the suitability of dyestuffs for specific applications is lightfastness. Dyes tend - ., to undergo photodegradation upon exposure to light, ; -espscially light in the ultraviolet spectrum, resulting in fading of the dyed textile fibers.
Automobile upholstery fabrics, for example, are used in perhaps one of the most severe and demanding -: . ., -.' .:
., .
~ .~,.-environments for dyestuffs. Automobile interiorsmay be exposed to direct sunlight over extended periods of time, and may encounter extreme high temperatures and humidities. Consequently, automobile upholstery fabrics require optimum lightfastness. Most of the disperse dyestuffs presently available do not provide the high level of -lightfastness demanded in automotive applications, especially where relatively darX colors are required. -Efforts to improve the lightfastness of disperse dyed fibers have been directed primarily to ;
the use of photostabilizer additives, such as W -absorber compounds. The most commonly used photostabilizers include benzophenones, benzotriazoles, and hindered amines. These~ -compounds are typically applied to the fiber during the dyeing process by mixing the photostabilizer compound in the dyebath with the dyestuffs and with other conventional dyebath additives. The photostabilizer compound is adsorbed into the fibers along with the dyestuff molecules and serves to protect the dyestuff molecules from the destructive effects of the energy from absorbed W light. The -~ ~
2S mPchanisms involved in the photostabilization of a disperse dyestuff molecule by photostabilizer compounds have been extensively studied and reported in the literature and will not be treated here.
Suffice it to say that in the pnotostabilization -~
mechanism, it is important that the photostabilizer compound be in close proximity to the chromophoric group of the dyestuff in order that it can serve to protect the dyestuff molecule from S photodegradation.
Summary of the Invention . . , The present invention is a departure from the ;
conventional approaches to improving lightfastness ~
through the use of photostabilizer additives in the ;
dyebath. The present invention, moreover, provides an approach to the design of disperse dyestuffs based upon incorporating the structural features of effective photostabilizers into the molecular ~-structure of the dyestuff molecule itself. The `~-~
dyestuff molecules possess the desirable : . . -, . .
lightfastness properties of a photostabilizer while ; -., . . ~ .
maintaining the necessary chromophoric and substantive properties of a disperse dyestuff. In this sense, disperse dyestuffs according to the present invention may be viewed as "hybrid"
dyestuffs which have been specifically designed and engineered to function both as a photostabilizer and `
as a dyestuff. Each individual dyestuff molecule is , ~-,: ..::
assured of having its chromophoric groups in close 2~ proximity to a photostabilizer, since the hybrid dyestuff molecule has built into it the molecular structural features of an effective photostabilizer.
In accordance with the present invention, -;
lightfast disperse dyestuffs are produced by first -'' -:
-4~ 1325007 selecting a "model" or "prototype" disperse dyestuff having predetermined chromophoric groups, and also selecting a photostabilizer compound having photostabilization properties. A hybrid disperse dyestuff molecular structure is designed which contains the chromophoric groups of the selected disperse dyestuff and also contains the molecular structural features of the selected photostabilizer compound, and the thus designed hybrid disperse dyestuff molecule is synthesized.
Detailed Description of the Invention ~
The photostabilizers which are most preferred -for incorporation into the dyestuffs of the present invention are those photostabilizer compounds which have heretofore been used as photostabilizer additives to dyebaths in conventional dyeing processes. These photostabilizer compounds generally fall into one of three main structural types: ~
the benzophenones, having the general structural ~--formula:
BZ ; ;
where R1 = H, OH, OMe and CH3 and R2 = H, OH, OMe and CH3 -the benzotriazoles, having the general structural f~rmula:
~5~ 1 3~5~0~ :

where R1 = H, OH, OMe, NH2, CH3, and Cl and R2 = H, NH2, CH3, and C~CH3)3 ;::
and the hindered amines, whose general structural ~ :.
formula is as follows~
.~,.,- .
Me ¦ Me Me~<Me . .
. :.,: . .
where R = H, OH, NH2 and amino alkyl Disperse dyestuffs may be classified chemically as aminoazobenzenes (azo dyes), aminoanthraquinones ... ~ .
(anthraquinone dyes) and nitrodiarylamines (nitro dyes). The characteristic structural unit of azo io dyes is the -N=N- chromophoric group, and this classification of dyes includes monoazo, disazo, ~--trisazo and tetrakisazo dyes, according to the .
number of -N--N- groups present in the dye molecule.
The characteristic structural unit of the ~ .
~5 anthraquinone dyes is anthraquinone~
.
~ ' ''~
including the chromophoric groups: ~ C=O and `~C=C . The nitro dyestuffs are characterized by -the structural unit ArNO2. -In designing the molecular structure of 5 dyestuffs in accordance with the present invention, it is desirable to keep the molecular structures as compact and small as possible in order to get ~
optimum penetration and adsorption into the fibers. -~.
Therefore, hybrid molecular structures in which the :
photostabilizer moiety is incorporated into the dyestuff structure are preferred over structures .
which would result from attachment of a = :
photostabilizer molecule to a dyestuff molecule ~:
through a bridging group.
For example, upon examining the molecular .
structural features of Disperse Yellow 42 ~NH~SOIIIH~>
and a typical benzophenone: .
" ', : . -, ' .' ' ',, '~:,: .: . ,"' ` ., .,: ' " ' ' . , ' . , . ' . ' ~7~ 1 325007 ., ,~,.

.
it will be seen that through the addition o~ a hydroxybenzoyl group to the dyestuff molecule, a . .
benzophenone moiety can be generated in the .
structure, yielding lightfast analogs of Disperse . -Yellow 42 such as the following~
...- .
N2 ' , ~ ~ "
~NH~502NH~
OMe ,[~1~ ' ~,NH~54NH~ ~ ~ ~
- '- .
.....
In this instance, one of the phenyl groups present ::
in the dyestuff molecule is shared by the benzoph2none moi~ty. Thus, this approach to designing a lightfast disperse dyestuff entails examining the molecular structure of the selected .
dyestuff and the selected photostabilizer compound to identify an atom or group of atoms common to both and designing a hybrid disperse dyestuff molecular structure which includes the structural features of both the selected dyestuff and the selected photostabilizer and which shares the identified common atom or group of atoms. The thus designed -~.
hybrid disperse dyestuff is then synthesized by selecting appropriate intermediates and reacting them to produce the desired molecular structure.
Light stabilized dyestuffs can also be produced by incorporating a benzotriazole structure into the molecular structure of a dyestuff such as Red Dye 167 as illustrated by the following azo dyestuff structures: ~ ;
Cl NHAc C NHAC
02N~N=N~N(CH2CH20AC)202N~N=N~ ~N~,CI
..
Disperse Red 167 Benzotriazole analog of Disperse Red 167 In this instance, the -N(CH2CH20Ac)2 group of the 2- prototype dyestuf~ is replaced by the benzotriazo1e ~ 325~07 moiety and the pendant nitrogen atom is shared by ~
the molecular structures of the dyestuff portion and . ~-the photostabilizer portion.
Light stabilized dyestuffs can also be produced S by incorporating a hindered amine moiety into the .:
molecular structure of a dyestuff as illustrated by :
the following anthraquinone dyestuff structures:
Me NH--~CH~CHIOH
Disperse Blue 27 Hindered amine analog - -of Disperse Blue 27 In this instance, the -hydroxyethylphenyl group of the prototype dyestuff is replaced by the hindered amine moiety, which is eomewhat similar in :
structure, but possesses photostabilizer properties.

the broad range of dyestuffs which can be produced :
thereby, will be understood more fully from the illustrative examples which follow~

The molecular structures of these compound-~i were examined to identify an atom or group of atoms that would be made common to the dyestuff and the photostabilizer, and the unsubstituted phenyl group was identified. Thus a hybrid disperse dyestuff . .

~N"~50 NH`E~
where the bracketed phenyl group is shared as the -common group. This hybrid disperse dyestuff molecule, which is an analog of Disperse Yellow 42, ;-contains molecular structural features of the dyestu~f including the chromophoric group -NO2 and molecular structural features of the benzophenone photostabilizer compound. ~

In this instance, one of the phenyl groups present ::
in the dyestuff molecule is shared by the benzoph2none moi~ty. Thus, this approach to designing a lightfast disperse dyestuff entails examining the molecular structure of the selected .
dyestuff and the selected photostabilizer compound to identify an atom or group of atoms common to both and designing a hybrid disperse dyestuff molecular structure which includes the structural features of both the selected dyestuff and the selected photostabilizer and which shares the identified common atom or group of atoms. The thus designed -~.
hybrid disperse dyestuff is then synthesized by selecting appropriate intermediates and reacting them to produce the desired molecular structure.
Light stabilized dyestuffs can also be produced by incorporating a benzotriazole structure into the molecular structure of a dyestuff such as Red Dye 167 as illustrated by the following azo dyestuff structures: ~ ;

the molecular structures of the dyestuff portion and . ~-the photostabilizer portion.
