Synthesis and characterization of reactive dyes based on 2-phenyl-3-[4′-(4″-aminophenylsulphonamido)]phenyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone-6-sulphonic acid

A series of new quinazolinone based mono azo reactive dyes (D1–10) have been prepared by subsequent diazotization of 2-phenyl-3-[4′-(4″-aminophenylsulphonamido)]phenyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone-6-sulphonic acid (C) and coupling with various 4-chloro anilino cyanurated coupling components. These dyes give purple, red, orange and yellow color shades. All the reactive dyes were characterized by their percentage yield, UV–Vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy and dyeing performance on silk, wool and cotton fibres. The percentage dye bath exhaustion on different fibres has been found to be reasonably good and acceptable. The dyed fibres show moderate to very good light fastness and good to excellent washing and rubbing fastness.
