Tg. Deligeorgiev et al., ONE-POT SYNTHESIS OF -[4-N(N,N-DISUBSTITUTEDAMINO)PHENYLAZO]IMIDAZOLIUM CATIONIC DYES, Dyes and pigments, 31(3), 1996, pp. 219-224
Starting from 4-chloro- or 4-fluoroaniline, the four reaction steps -
diazotization, coupling with imidazole, quaternization with dimethyl s
ulphate and substitution with dialkylamines, piperidine derivatives or
hexamethyleneimine - were carried out as a one-pot preparation of 2-[
4-(N,N-disubstitutedamino)phenylazo]imidazolium cationic dyes, The rea
ction procedure shortened considerably the overall reaction time and a
voided some technical operations, such as filtration and drying. Copyr
