When 2-amino-4-ethylsulfonyl-S-nitrothiazole, Z-amino- 4 n propylsulfonyl 5 nitrothiazole and 2-amino-4-isopropylsulfonyl-5-nitrothiazole, respectively, are diazotized and the diazonium compounds are coupled with each of the coupling components (1-40, 79 and 80) set forth in the above tabulation, monoazo compounds of our invention are obtained which color cellulose acetate generally similar shades as the corresponding monoazo dye obtained from diazotized 2-a1nino-4-methylsulfonyl-5-nitrothiazole. To illustrate, the monoazo compound prepared from diazotized 2-amino 4-ethylsulfonyl-S-nitrothiazole and 1-B,' -dihydroxypropyl-2,S-dimethylbenzomorpholine colors cellulose acetate bluish-green shades as does the corresponding monoazo compound prepared from diazotized 2-amino-4-methylsulfonyl-S-nitrothiazole and l-Bgydihydroxypropyl-Z,S-dimethylbenzomorpholine.

Preparation of acrylonitrile graft polymer 3.0 g. of acrylonitrile' and 7.0 g. of N-methyl methacrylamide were emulsified in 40 cc. of water containing 0.15 g. of potassium persulfate and 0.01 g. of tertiary dodecyl mercaptan. The emulsion was heated at 60 C. until 94% or more of the monomers had copolymerized. This result is usually accomplished by heating for about 12 hours. The copolymer contained approximately by weight of acrylonitrile and 70% by weight of N-methyl methacrylamide. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature, 50 cc. of water added and the mixture agitated until a homogeneous solution of dope containing 10% by weight of the copolymer resulted.
30.7 g. (3.07 g. of copolymer) of the above prepared solution or dope of the copolymer were placed in a jacketed reactor provided with an agitator and heat exchanger. There were then added 10 g. of acrylonitrile, 114 cc. of water, 0.58 g. of 85% phosphoric acid, 0.1 g. of potassium persulfate, 0.17 g. of potassium metabisulfite, 0.1 g. of tertiary dodecyl mercaptan and 0.56 g. of a 30% solution in water of N-methyl methacrylamide and the mixture heated, with stirring, to C. and then allowed to level oil at 37-39 C. After the heat of polymerization had been removed and when the conversion of the acrylonitrile to polymer had reached 96% or more, which is usually accomplished in a period of about 12 hours, the temperature was raised to 90 C. The mother liquor was removed by centrifuging the polymerization mixture, the polymer precipitate being reslurried twice with water and centrifuged to a 70% 'moisture cake. The cake was dried under vacuum at 80 C. in an agitated dryer. The over-all yield of modified polyacrylonitrile product was over 90%. After hammer-milling, the dry powder, now ready for spinning, was stored in a moisture proof container.
The acrylonitrile graft polymer prepared as above and containing about 18% by weight of N-methyl methacrylamide was soluble in N,N-dimethylformamide. Fibers spun by extruding a solution of the polymer product in N,N-dimethylformamide into a precipitating bath had a softening temperature of about 240 C., an extensibility of about 20-30 percent depending on the drafting and relaxing conditions, and showed excellent aifinity for dyes.
The monoazo dye compounds of our invention can be applied to cellulose alkyl carboxylic acid esters having 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the acid groups thereof, nylon, wool, acrylonitrile graft polymers, and polyester, such as polyethylene terephthalate, textile materials in the form of an aqueous dispersion and are ordinarily so applied. To illustrate, the dye compound is finely ground with a dispersing agent such as sodium lignin sulfonate, Turkey red oil, soap, or an oleyl glyceryl sulfate and the resulting mixture is dispersed in water. The dyebath thus prepared is heated to a temperature approximating C. C. and the textile material to be dyed is immersed in the dyebath, following which the temperature is gradually raised to C.- C. and maintained at this temperature until dyeing is complete, usually one-half to two hours. From time to time throughout the dyeing operation, the material is worked to promote even dyeing.
1 1 Upon completion of the dyeing operation, the textile material is removed from the dyebath, Washed with an aqueous soap solution, rinsed well with water and dried.
In the case of certain of the acrylonitrile graft polymers described hereinbefore it is necessary to dye at the boil for an extended period of time. Instances may be encountered where the fiber is not satisfactorily colored by the dyeing procedure just described. In these instances special dyeing techniques, such as the use of pressure, for example, developed by the art for the coloration of materials ditficult to color may be employed.
Widely varying amounts of dye can be used in the dyeing operation. The amount of dye used can be, for example, /3 to 3% (by Weight) of that of the textile material although lesser or greater amounts of the dye can be employed.
The following example illustrates one satisfactory way in which the fibers of the acrylonitrile graft polymers can be dyed using the azo compounds of our invention. 16 milligrams of dye are ground with an aqueous solution of sodium lignin sulfonate until well dispersed or alternately the dye can be dissolved in cc. of hot Cellosolve (i. e. ethylene glycol monoethyl ether). The dispersion or solution, as the case may be, is then poured into 150 cc. of water to which a small amount of surface-active agent such as Igepon T (C H -CO-N(CH )-C H SO Na) Nekal BX (sodium alkylnaphthalene-sulfonate) or Orvus (sodium lauryl sulfate-type) has been added. The dyebath is then brought to the desired temperature and 5 "12 grams of well wet-out fibers of the graft polymer are added thereto. Dyeing is continued until the proper shade is reached. From time to time throughout the dyeing operation, the material is worked to promote even References Cited in the file of this patent UNITED STATES PATENTS 2,149,051 Helberger et a1 Feb. 28, 1939 2,345,010 Seymour et al Mar. 28, 1944 2,386,599 Dickey et a1.
