Synthesis of new azo dyes under phase-transfer catalysis

New azo dyes that do not enter into azo coupling reactions under classical conditions (water solutions, polar organic solvents) were prepared by nontraditional method (in solutions in 1,2-dichloroethane and chloroform and in water emulsions thereof) with the use of phase-transfer catalysts (dibenzo-18-crown-6, benzyltrimethylammonium chloride, sodium 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonate). The azo dyes obtained: 4-(3-nitrophenylazo)-1-bromo-2-methoxynaphthalene, 4-(3-methylphenylazo)-1-bromo-2-methoxynaphthalene, 3-nitrophenylazochrysene, 3-methylphenylazochrysene were produced in high yields and showed good processing properties.
