| Abstract: | A range of yellow fluorescent 2-pyrazoline acid dyes has been synthesized. Their spectral and dyeing properties (on wool and nylon) depend both on the nature of the substitution pattern of the dye and on the nature of the fibre substrate. Exhaustion and fastness to washing, which are better on nylon than on wool, are improved by substituents attached to the 2-pyrazoline ring. Fastness to light is independent of the fibre and is increased by substituents on the 4- and 5- positions of the 2-pyrazoline ring. The fastness properties of the pyrazoline dyes were compared with those of C.I. Acid Yellow 7. |
