PARTIAL REDUCTION OF DINITROARENES TO NITROANILINES WITH HYDRAZINE HYDRATE.

Dinitroarenes containing substituents such as hydroxyl and amine groups could be conveniently reduced with 3 molar equivalents of hydrazine hydrate in presence of Raney nickel catalyst in ethanol/1,2-dichloro-ethane solvent mixture to give a product wherein one of the two nitro groups was reduced to the amino group. The yields of the partial reduction products are good. Under similar conditions alkoxyl substitutes in the o,p-position to the nitro groups were displaced by the hydrazine to give 2,4-dinitrophenyl-hydrazine as the main product. The details of the reduction reaction are described.

Water-soluble fiber-reactive disazo dyestuffs

Azo dyes of the formula STR1 wherein each of D1 and D2 is a radical of a diazo component which contains at least one heterocyclic fiber-reactive radical and D1 and D2 together contain at least two water-solubilizing groups, and Y is the radical of an at least bifunctional acyl compound.

Fiber reactive water soluble 2,4,6-triamino, 3-cyano pyridine-(5) azo dyestuffs

Water-soluble azo dyes of the formula WHEREIN Y is a fiber-reactive group, n is 1 or 2, m is 0, 1 or 2 and the benzene rings A and B may be further substituted are disclosed. They are useful for dyeing nitrogen-containing fibers and cellulose materials and are distinguished by very bright and brilliant shades, possessing good stability, fastness to light, wet processing and fixation.
