Abstract:
Reaction of a phthalic anhydride with an aminoanthraquinone in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride and/or phosphorus trichloride with perchloroethylene as solvent affords N,N''-dianthraquinonylphthalamide pigment in high yield and in easily isolatable form. In the preparation of N,N''-di-1anthraquinonylphthalamide, presence of an ''''active oxygen''''containing compound in the reaction medium affords a reddishyellow alpha polymorph; absence of an ''''active oxygen''''containing compound affords a novel greenish-yellow beta polymorph.
Abstract:
THIS SPECIFICATION DISCLOSES NOVEL PIGMENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING SOLID SOLUTIONS OF TWO OR MORE 3,4,9,10-PERYLENTETRACARBOXYLIC DIMIDES. THE SOLID SOLUTIONS EXTEND THE RANGE OF COLORS AND SHADES OF PERYLENE PIGMENTS AVIALABLE AND THE MASSTONE OF COATINGS PREPARED FROM THESE PIGMENTS IS DEEPER AND MORE TRANSPARENT THAN THAT OF KNOWN PIGMENTS.
