Abstract:
An improved process for preparing a very pure 2-amino-4-nitroanisole which represents a known starting compound for producing water-insoluble azo dyestuffs, by nitration of 2-aminoanisole which is characterized by heating, after nitration and dilution of the reaction mixture, the diluted medium to about 50* to 100*C, subsequently adjusting it with ammonia to a pH-value of about 0.6 to 1.6, clarifying it by filtration and isolating the 2-amino-4-nitroanisole by addition of ammonia to a pH-value of about 2.5.
Abstract:
Water-soluble basic monoazo dyestuffs of the trialkylammoniumphenylazopyrimidine series which are suitable for dyeing or printing of textile fibrous materials consisting of native or regenerated cellulose, acetate rayon, polyamides, polyesters, polyacrylonitrile or polyvinylidenecyanide to yield yellow dyeings having good fastness to light and wet processing.
