Synthesis of Some Novel Biologically Active Disperse Dyes Derived from 4-Methyl-2,6-dioxo-1-propyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-pyridine-3-carbonitrile as Coupling Component and Their Colour Assessment on Polyester Fabrics

A series of novel azo-disperse dyes containing alkylhydrazonopyridinone structures were synthesized. 4-Methyl-2,6-dioxo-1-propyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (8) is synthesized by one-pot synthesis using ethyl cyanoacetate, propylamine, and ethyl acetoacetate. Compound 8 is then coupled with aromatic and heteroaromatic diazonium salts to afford the corresponding aryl- and heteroaryl-4-methyl-2,6-dioxo-1-propyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitriles 12a,b and 13a-c. Structural assignments to the dyes were made using NMR spectroscopic methods. A high temperature dyeing method was employed to apply these dyes to polyester fabrics. Most of the dyed fabrics tested displayed very good light fastness levels and good wash fastness. Finally, the biological activity of the prepared dyes against Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative bacteria were evaluated.     

Synthesis of Some New Thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidine Derivatives and Their Applications as Disperse Dyes

A series of novel thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized by using β‐ketoanilides 1a–c as starting materials and as key intermediates for preparation of new pyrimidinecompounds 3a–e and fused heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives 5a–c . The new compounds were transformed to disperse dyes 6a,b and 7 . The chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and elemental analyses and found to be in good agreement with the proposed structures. The versatility of compounds 6a,b and 7 for textile dyeing as disperse dyes was reported. The synthesized dyes were applied to polyester fabrics by using high temperature dyeing method at 120°C. The dye uptake expressed as color strength (k/s) of the dyed samples has been measured. Moreover, the color strength was examined in detail. In addition, the position of color in CIELAB coordinates (L*, a*, b*, h, and C*) was assessed. The color fastness of the dyed samples gave excellent results for washing and rubbing; however, the light fastness was moderate. Raman spectra of dyed samples unequivocally excluded ring dyeing and found to match with the proposed structures.     

Preparation of antibacterial cellulose with a monochloro‐s‐triazine‐based N‐halamine biocide

A novel monochloro‐s‐triazine‐based N‐halamine precursor, 4‐(4‐(5,5‐dimethylhydantoin‐3‐ethylamino)‐6‐chloro‐1,3,5‐triazinylamino)‐benzenesulfonate (HB), was synthesized and characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The reactive dyes dyeing method was applied to bond HB onto cotton fabrics, and the treated fabrics were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscope. The chlorinated HB‐treated fabrics showed excellent antibacterial efficacies against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157:H7 and inactivated all inoculated bacteria within 1 min of contact. Interestingly, it was found that the finishing process and following chlorination caused smaller tensile strength loss of cotton fabrics than the traditional pad‐dry‐cure method. Furthermore, the antimicrobial cotton fabrics exhibited good stability and regenerability. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

One-pot synthesis of disperse dyes under microwave irradiation: dyebath reuse in dyeing of polyester fabrics

A series of 4-hydroxyphenylazopyrazolopyrimidine disperse dyes were prepared via one-pot reactions of p-hydroxyphenylhydrazone, hydrazine hydrate, and acetylacetone or enaminones using microwave irradiation as an energy source. Structural assignments of the dyes were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic structure determination. Instead of discharging the dyebath after each dyeing cycle, the residual dyebath was spectrophotometrically analyzed and then pH readjusted for a repeat dyeing with longer time. Fastness of the dyed samples was measured after each recycle. Most of the dyed fabrics tested displayed good light fastness and excellent fastness to washing and perspiration. Finally, the biological activity of the synthesized dyes against Gram positive bacteria, Gram negative bacteria and yeast were evaluated.
