Compound 1 reacted with bromine and 2-cyano- acetohydrazide to give phenacyl bromide derivative 5 and 2-cyanoacetohydrazone derivative 6, respectively. Coupling of compound 6 with equimolar amount of 2-sulfo-4-((4-sulfophenyl) di- azenyl)benzenediazonium chloride gave coumarin acid dye 8. Phenacyl bromide derivative 5 reacted with potassium cyanide in refluxing ethanol to produce compound 7, which on coupling with equimolar amount of 8-hydroxy-6-sulfonaphthalene-2-diazonium chloride and 8-hydroxy-3,6-di- sulfonaphthalene-1-diazonium chloride gave coumarin acid dyes 9 and 10, respectively. Interaction of compound 2 with 2-amino-5-((4-sulfophenyl)diazenyl)benzenesulfonic acid, benzene-1,4- diamine and 3,3’-dimethoxy-[1,1’-biphenyl]-4,4’-diamine in refluxing ethanol afforded compounds 11, 12 and 14, respectively. Diazonium sulphate of compounds 12 and 14 coupling with 4-amino- 5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid gave compounds 13 and 15, respectively. Cyclocondensation of compound 3 with ethyl 3-oxobutanoate, diethyl malonate and malononitrile afforded derivatives of 3-acetyl-2H-chromen-2-one 16, ethyl 2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate 17 and 2- imino-2H-chromene-3-carbonitrile 18, respectively. Reaction of sodium benzenesulfonate deriva- tive 4 with ethyl 3-oxobutanoate and hydrazine hydrate gave compounds 19 and 20, respectively. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, UV/ VIS, IR, 1H NMR and Ms spectral data. The suitability of the prepared dyestuffs for dyeing of wool and silk fabrics has been investigated. The dyed fabric shows good light fastness, very good rubbing, perspiration, washing and excellent sublimation fastness. These dyes have been color shade from blue to violet with very good depth and levelness on fabrics. The dye bath exhaustion and fixation on fabric has been found to be very good.

1. Introduction

The considerable innovation has been witnessed in past three decades in the field of azo dye chemistry based on heterocyclic systems and studies in the synthesis of such derivatives have been reported [1] - [5] . Most of the recent research has focused on structural variations of existing types, for example, variations in substituent, especially on the side chains of the coupling components. The use of heterocyclic coupling component and diazo components in the synthesis of azo dyes is well established, and the resultant dyes exhibit better tinctorial strength and brighter dyeing than those derived from aniline-based components. Most heterocyclic dyes of technical interest for application to textiles are derived from diazo components consisting of five-membered rings containing one sulphur heteroatom and to which a diazotisable amino group is directly attached. The ring may also possess one or more nitrogen heteroatoms and be fused to another aromatic ring. These diazo components are capable of providing red to blue color dyes that meet the rigorous technical and economical requirements demanded of them by both manufacturer and user. Intensive efforts have been made in the investigation of monoazo dyes in which a heterocyclic system replaces one of the usual carboxylic systems. Many different heterocyclic diazo components have been studied, especially derivatives of thiazole, imidazole, benzimidazole owing to the marked bathochromic effect of such groups [6] - [12] . A majority of acid dyestuffs are sulphonic acid derivatives of azo dyes. The free dye acids are difficult to isolate and are hydroscopic in nature making it difficult to pack and store them. These dyes are invariably isolated as sodium salts. Coumarins are attractive and versatile molecules that find applications in various fields like medicine, perfumery, dyes, pigments, optical brighteners, lasers, optical data storage devices, solar cells [13] - [19] . The coumarin is not fluorescent, but the introduction of an electron-withdrawing group such as a diazotized aromatic amine or an acetyl group makes it highly fluorescent. Coumarin establishes a family of dyes [20] - [24] that are applicable in different fields of science and technology [25] - [27] . The present work was carried out with the following objectives, synthesis and identification of some newly acid dyes based on coumarin derivatives, and the possibility of its use in dyeing of wool and silk fabrics.

Structure of compound 3 was established on the basis of its elemental analysis and spectral data. Thus, IR spectrum of 3indicated absorption bands at vmax = 3370 cm−1 for hydroxyl group, 1653 cm−1 for carbonyl group and 1456, 1290 cm−1 for nitro group. 1H NMR spectrum showed three singlet signals at δ = 8.05, 10.30 and 11.78 ppm corresponding to H6 of hyroxyphenyl ring, hydroxyl and formyl protons, respectively, two doublet signals, each doublet for two protons at δ = 7.95 and 8.32 ppm for H2,6 and H3,5of nitrophenyl ring, respectively, two doublet signals, each doublet for one proton at δ = 7.17 and 8.14 ppm due to H3 and H4 of hyroxyphenyl ring, respectively.

4. Dyeing of Coumarin Compounds 8-11

4.1. Dyeing of Coumarin Compounds 8-11 on Wool

4.1.1. Effect of pH and Dyeing Temperature on Percent of Dyeing Exhaustion

Table 1 and Figure 1 show the effect of pH on the exhaustion of acid dyes on wool fibre. The data revealed that at lower dyeing pH values (pH 4), the substantivity of the acid dyes on wool was virtually high. From these results, we can deduce that the dye 9 shows the most exhaustion value because this dye has lower molecular weight than others. The low substantivety of acid dye 8 is due to high molecular weight Although the dye 8 has higher molecular weight than dye 11, it is more substantivety, due to it contains diazo component.

Figure 1. Exhaustion of acid dyes 8-11 on wool at various pH values at 2% o.w.f.

Table 1. Exhaustion of acid dyes 8-11 on wool at various pH values.

4.1.2. Effect of Dye Concentration on Percent of Dyeing Exhaustion

Figure 2 shows the exhaustion of the dyes on wool using different depth of shades (1% - 5% o.w.f.) at pH 4 and 100˚C. Increasing the dye concentration reduces the exhaustion on wool. From these results, we can deduce that the dye 9 exhibits the most exhaustion value while the dye 11 shows the lowest one.

4.1.3. Effect of Dyeing Time on Percent of Dyeing Exhaustion

Figure 3 indicates the variation of dyeing time with temperature at pH 4 and (2% o.w.f.) dye concentration. It is apparent that the dye-fibre reaction is characterized by fast initial rate followed by slower rate, which levels off within the last 30 min of dyeing process. From these results, we can deduce that the dye 9 shows the most exhaustion value while the dye 11 shows the lowest one.

4.2. Dyeing of Coumarin Compounds 8-11 on Silk

4.2.1. Effect of pH on Percent of Dyeing Exhaustion

Table 2 and Figure 4 show the effect of pH on the exhaustion of acid dyes on silk fibre. The data revealed that at lower dyeing pH values (pH 5), the substantivity of the acid dyes on silk is virtually high. From these results, we can deduce the acid dye 9 exhibits the most exhaustion value because this dye has lower molecular weight than others. The low substantivety of acid dye 10 is due to high molecular weight, which decreases substantivety. Although the dye 10 has higher molecular weight than dye 11, it is more substantivety, because it contains diazo component.

4.2.2. Effect of Dye Concentration on Percent of Dyeing Exhaustion

Figure 5 shows the exhaustion of the dyes on silk using different depth of shades (1% - 5% o.w.f.) at pH 5 and 100˚C. Increasing the dye concentration reduces the exhaustion on silk. From these results, we can deduce the dye 9 is the most exhaustion value while the dye 11 is the lowest one.

4.2.3. Effect of Dyeing Time on Percent of Dyeing Exhaustion

Figure 6 indicates the variation of dyeing time with temperature at pH 5 and (2% o.w.f.) dye concentration. It is apparent that the dye-fibre reaction is characterized by fast initial rate followed by slower rate, which levels off within the last 30 min of dyeing process. From these results, we can deduce the acid dye 9 shows the most exhaustion value while the dye 11 is the lowest one i.e. increasing the time of dying, this leads to the increasing of the exhaustion values.

4.3. Colorimetric and Fastness Properties for All Dyeings

The colorimetric CIE L * a * b * C * h˚ data of the dyed wool and silk using the dye are shown in Table 3. The colour parameters were evaluated by means of the Cielab system and the modified CIEL * C * H˚ (D65/10˚) system. The following colour parameters for the dyed samples were obtained by the digital Cielab system: L*― lightness, a*―redness if positive coordinate, or greenness if negative coordinate, b*―yellowness if positive coordinate, or blueness if negative coordinate, C*―chromaticity, Ho―hue of the colour, X―coordinate x, Y―coordinate y, Z―coordinate z [32] . As shown in Table 4, the fastness to washing, rubbing and perspiration of all samples dyed with the dye was excellent to very good irrespective to the fabric used. Chromatic parameters were determined in comparison for samples dyed with all dyes. The light fastness of the dyes was found to

depend on the mobility of electrons through conjugated system from conjugated system from thiazole ring with coupler compounds afforded a good value of light fastness. The visible absorption spectra of some dyes showed that colours of dyes in the range are blue-purple, in addition, others in range are yellow-brown. The fastness of dyed fabrics to water, washing, alkaline and acid perspirations and rubbing was found to be very high irrespective of degree of sulphonation in the coupling component.
