Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to synthesise, characterise and find out properties of some new bifunctional reactive azo dyes using pyrazolo[1,2‐a]pyrazole 3‐carboxylic acid fused systems as the chromophoric moiety, bearing good colour strength, lightfastness, and other favourable properties.Design/methodology/approach – The dyes are synthesised by diazotisation, coupling and cyclisation reactions. Firstly, synthesised 4‐arylazo‐1,5‐dioxopyrazolo[1,2‐a]pyrazole 3‐carboxylic acid chromophoric moieties and coupled with diazonium salts having the aforementioned reactive groups, thus yielding the new target reactive. The synthesised dyes were applied to cotton and wool fabrics under the typical exhaust dyeing conditions and their dyeing properties were investigated. The structures of these dyes are characterised and confirmed by melting point, elemental analysis, infrared, ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy (UV/VIS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H‐NMR) data.Findings – The wavelength of maximum absorp...
