Synthesis and dyeing performance of bisazo disperse dyes based on 3-[4-(4-amino-2- chlorophenoxy)‎ anilino] phenol

Abstract EN

The present communication aims to develop bisazo disperse dyes based on 3-[4-(4- amino-2-chlorophenoxy)anilino]phenol (DAP) both as a coupling component as well as a diazonium salt.

Coupling reaction of DAP was carried out with a diazonium salt of 4-aminoacetanilide to yield a monoazo disperse dye, and then it was further used as a diazonium salt and coupled with a different aromatic phenol to synthesize bisazo disperse dyes.

All the disperse dyes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR and UV–Visible spectral studies with a view to determine their chemical structure.

The dyeing ability of these bisazo disperse dyes has been evaluated in terms of their dyeing behavior and fastness properties on different fabrics.
