INTRODUCTION TO INTRODUCTION TO PREPARATION AND STRUCTURE OF SOME COMMON DYESTUFFS

By Granch Berhe

Dyes are colored organic compounds that are used to impart color to various substrates, including

PaperLeatherHair Drugs CosmeticsWaxesGreasesPlastics and Textile materials

Dyes may be classified according to their chemical structure or by the method by which they are applied to the substrate.

The dye manufacturers and dye chemists prefer the former approach of classifying dyes according to chemical type.

The dye users, however, prefer the latter approach to of classification according to application method.

Classification by application or usage is the principal system adopted by the Color Index (C.I.).

1.1 Azo DyesAre:- Larger groups N=N NH2, NR2, OH

There may be more than one azo group Mono, Di, Tri, Tetrakis and poly

Prepared by Diazotization of primary aromatic amines= Diazonium salt/diazo and then coupled with phenol or amine

DiazotizationWhen aromatic amine is added on aqueous acid medium by nitrous acid a diazonium salt is formed and the amine is said to be has been diazotized.

Examples of Diazotization and coupling on fiber

1.2 Cationic Dyes( Mono Azo)

Usually hydrochlorides of bases having moderate solubility in water

Drawing chiefly on Azo, Anthraquinone and Triarylmethane and are now commercially available.

water-soluble and produce colored cations in solution.mostly amino and substituted amino compounds soluble in acid and made insoluble by the solution being made basic.attached to the fibers by formation of salt linkages (ionic bonds) with anionic groups in the fiber.used to dye paper, polyacrylonitrile, modified nylons, and modified polyesters.

1.3 Reactive dye

Main chromophores employed in this are Azo, Metal Azo, Anthraquinone and Phthalocyanin containing the groups which can react directly with the fiber

react with the cellulose fiber to form a covalent bond. This produces dyed fiber with extremely high wash fastness properties.Cotton, rayon, and some nylons are dyed by this relatively simple dye.

1.4 Vat Dyes

Commercial name Indathrene Cibanone Caledon

Divided into Dyes derived from Indigo: Include natural and synthetic

indigos and its Bromide and Thioindigo Dyes Derived from Anthraquinone

insoluble complex polycyclicreduced with sodium hydrosulfite in a strongly alkaline medium to give soluble leuco forms that have a great affinity for cellulose.After the reduced dye has been absorbed on the fiber, the leuco forms are reoxidized to the insoluble keto forms.

Sadamine Process

Alinine + heat + CS2= Thiocarbonilide + heat + Lead carbonate + NaCN, S = Cyano
