DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
This application is a 371 of PCT/EP95/04658 filed Nov. 25, 1995.
The present invention relates to novel benzopyran dyes of the formula I ##STR2## where
n is 1 or 2,
X.sup.1 is oxygen or imino,
X.sup.2 is cyano or carbamoyl,
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently of each other C.sub.1 -C.sub.13 -alkyl subject to the proviso that the sum total of the carbon atoms present in R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 shall be at least 10, and
R.sup.3 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy, halogen, cyano, nitro, carbamoyl, mono- or di(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl)carbamoyl, sulfamoyl or mono- or di(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl)sulfamoyl, for dyeing or printing synthetic materials.
U.S. Pat No. 3,880,869 discloses benzopyran dyes. However, it has been found that these products have unsatisfactory application properties, especially inadequate affinity.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel benzopyran dyes which shall have advantageous application properties, especially excellent affinity.
We have found that this object is achieved by the above-defined benzopyran dyes of the formula I.
Any alkyl occurring in the abovementioned formulae may be straight-chain or branched.
R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each for example methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, tert-pentyl, hexyl or 2-methylpentyl.
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may each also be for example heptyl, octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, isooctyl, nonyl, isononyl, decyl, isodecyl, undecyl, isodecyl and isotridecyl are trivial names derived from the oxo process alcohols (cf. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th Edition, Vol. A1, pages 290 to 293, and also Vol. A 10, pages 284 and 285).!
R.sup.3 may also be for example methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy, isobutoxy, sec-butoxy, tert-butoxy, pentyloxy, isopentyloxy, neopentyloxy, tert-pentyloxy, hexyloxy, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, mono- or dimethylcarbamoyl, mono- or diethylcarbonyl, mono- or dipropylcarbamoyl, mono- or diisopropylcarbonyl, mono- or dibutylcarbamoyl, N-methyl-N-butylcarbamoyl, mono- or dimethylsulfamoyl, mono- or diethylsulfamoyl, mono- or dipropylsulfamoyl, mono- or diisopropylsulfamoyl, mono- or dibutylsulfamoyl or N-methyl-N-ethylsulfamoyl.
Preference is given to benzopyran dyes of the formula I where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently of each other C.sub.5 -C.sub.13 -alkyl, especially C.sub.5 -C.sub.10 -alkyl.
Preference is further given to benzopyran dyes of the formula I where R.sup.3 is hydrogen, methyl or chlorine, especially hydrogen.
Preference is further given to benzopyran dyes of the formula I where X.sup.1 is imino.
Preference is further given to benzopyran dyes of the formula I where X.sup.2 is cyano.
The present invention further provides iminocoumarins of the formula II ##STR3## where
n is 1 or 2,
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently of each other C.sub.1 -C.sub.13 -alkyl subject to the proviso that the sum total of the carbon atoms present in R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 shall be at least 10, and
R.sup.3 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy, halogen, cyano, nitro, carbamoyl, mono- or di(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl)carbamoyl, sulfamoyl or mono- or di(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl)sulfamoyl.
The iminocoumarins of the formula II are obtainable in a conventional manner, for example by condensing an aminosalicylaldehyde of the formula III ##STR4## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each as defined above, with a cyanomethylbenzimidazole of the formula IV ##STR5## where n and R.sup.3 are each as defined above.
The condensation, as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 3,533,730 or U.S. Pat. No. 4,299,959, is generally carried out in a diluent (eg. alcohol or N,N-dimethylformamide) in the presence of a base (eg. piperidine or pyrrolidine) at room temperature or elevated temperature.
The iminocoumarins of the formula II are useful intermediates for preparing the benzopyran dyes of the formula I.
To prepare the benzopyran dyes of formula I, an iminocoumarin of the formula II is condensed in a diluent with maloni
