Reactive dyes, their preparation and their use

Abstract

Reactive dyes of formula wherein the variables are defined herein. B is an aliphatic bridging member, R1 is C1-C4alkyl, halogen or an —SO2—Z radical, R2 and R3 are each independently of the other C1-C4alkoxy, R4, R5 and R6 are each independently of the others hydrogen or unsubstituted or substituted C1-C4alkyl, k and q are each independently of the other the number 0 or 1, p is the number 0, 1 or 2, X1 and X2 are each independently of the other halogen, and T is halogen, a non-fiber-reactive substituent or a fiber-reactive radical of formula wherein (R7)0-2 denotes from 0 to 2 identical or different substituents from the group halogen, C1-C4alkyl, C1-C4alkoxy and sulfo, Z is vinyl or a —CH2—CH2—U radical and U is a group that is removable under alkaline conditions, Q is a —CH(Hal)-CH2-Hal or —C(Hal)=CH2 group and Hal is halogen, or T is a radical of formula wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, k, p and q each have the definitions given above, are suitable especially for dyeing cotton and yield dyeings having good all-round fastness properties.
