| abstract |
N-substituted amides or optionally N-substituted hydrazides of 4-amino-naphthalic acids which may be substituted in 3-position by a sulfo group are obtained by reacting 4-halo-1,8-naphthalic anhydride with a primary amine or an optionally N-substituted hydrazine having a pKa-value of at least 8, exchanging in the so-obtained 4-halo-naphthalimide the halogen for the amino group by reacting it with ammonia and, optionally, subsequent sulfonation. The products are dyeing matters useful for the coloration of synthetic fibers, plastics, oils, waxes, resins, paper, printing pastes, lacquers or natural polyamides, especially for daylight-fluorescence pigments. |
