This invention provides vat dyesttiffs which contain at least one grouping of the formula (1) -SONH-R 40 in which R represents a p-sulfatoalkyl group, especially a lower psulfatoalkyl group. The term "lowee' in this connection means not more than 6 carbon atoms. R advantageously represents a radical of the formula 45 -CH,CH,OSO,H The term "vat dyestuffs" comprises dyestuffs which are capable of being ronverted by reduction into a socalled leuco-form or vat, possess a better affinity for 50 natural and regenerated cellulose fibers than in the nonreduced form, and can be reconnerted by oxidation iiito the original chromophoric system. As suitable vat dyestuffs there may be mentioned more especially those of the anthraquinone series, for example, those which con- 55 tain an unmodified 9: 10-oxoanthracene ring and also those anthraquinones which contain fused-on carbocyclic or heterocyclic rings or consist of a plurality of anthraquinone units, and also vat dyestuffs of perylene tetracarboxylic acid and naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid, 60 and indigoid vat dyestuffs. In addition to at least one grouping of the Form-ula 1, the. dyestuffs may rontain substituents that are customarily present in vat dyestuffs, for example, halogen atoms or alkoxy, acylamino or alkyl groups. 65 The invention also provides a process for the manufacture of the above new dyestuffs wherein (a) a vat dyestuff containing at least one sulfonic acid halide group is condensed with an amine of the formula NH2R, in which R has the meaning given in connection with Formtila 1, 70 or (b) a vat dyestuff containing at least one sulfonic acid-p-hydroxyalkylamide grotip is treated with a sulfator (d) an anthraquinone compound containing a mobile halogen atom is reacted with an amine containing a 6sulfatoalkylsulfonamide group. In the process as carried out under (a) there are advantageously used as starting materials vat dyestuffs containing at least one sulfonic acid chloride group. Of special iftterest are vat dyestuffs containing two such groups. As exa,tnples of suitable starting materials there may be irientioned more especially those of the anthraquinone series: 1:5-dibenzoylamino-anthraquinone disulfochloride, dibenzanthrone disulfochloride, isodibenzanthrone disulfochloride, and also the sulflochlorides of anthanthrone, dibenzpyrene-quinone, pyranthrone, acedianthrone, Ravanthrone, indanthrone, N:N'- diethyldipyra@zole-anthronyl, N:N'-diisopropyl-dipyrazole, anthronyl, anthraquinone2:1(N)I':2'-(N) naphthaeridone, 1:1'- dianthrimide-carbazole, 2'-2"-diphenyl - anthraquinone-1:2(N)- dithiazole, 2':2"-diphenyl-anthraquinone-5:7 (N) -dithiazole. In addition to sulfochlorides of the anthraquinone series there may be mentioned sulfochlorides of indigoid vat dyestuffs, perylene tetracarboxylic acid diimides; perinone dyestuffs and cobalt phthalocyanine. The aforesaid sulfochlorides can be obtained by treating the appropriate vat dyestuff with chlorosulfonic acid, or by reacting the appropriate sulfonic acids with an acid-halogenating agent, such as phosphorus halides, thionyl chloride or -chlorosulfonic acid, known methods being used for carrying out the aforesaid reactions. Another method of obtaining the sulfochlorides used as starting materials consists in acylating an aminoanthraquinone with benzoic acid-sulfonic. acid dichloride, whereby a chlorosulfonylbenzoylaminoanthraquinone is obtained. The reaction of the aforesaid sulfochlorides with an amine of the formula NH2R may be carried out in an inert organic sGIvent, for example, nitrobenzene, chlorobenzene or orthodichlorobenzene at a raised temperature. As, on working up, the sulfochlorides are generally obtained in the form of aqueous suspensions, it is of advantage to carry out the reaction with the amine of the formula NH2R in an aqueous medium, advantageously in the presence of an acid-binding agent, for example, sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate. The molar proportions of the components are preferably so chosen that for each sulfochloride group in the vat dyestuff at least one molecular proportion of an amine of the formula NH2R is used. In the form of the process described under (b) there are advantageously used as starting materials anthraquinone vat dyestuffs containing one or two sulfonic acid phydroxyethylamide groups, for example, mono- or disulfonic acid hydroxyethylamides of 1:5-dibenzoylaminoanthraquinone or of dibenzanthrone or of isodi@benzanthrone, and also sulfonic acid hydroxyethylamides of anthrathrone, dibenzpyrenequinone, pyranthrone, acedianthrone, flavanthrone, indanthrone, N:N'- diethyldipyrazole-athronyl, N:N' - diisopropyl-dipyrazole - anthronyl, anthraqi-iinone-2:1(N)-l':Z'(N)naphthacridone, 1:1'- dianthrimide-carbazole, or 2':Z"-diphenylanthraquinone1:2(N)- dithiazole, 2':2"-diphenylanthraquinone-5:7 (N)dithiazole. In addition to the aforesaid sulfonic acid hydroxyethylamides of the anthraquinone series, there may be mentioned sulfonic acid hydroxyethylamides of indigoid vat dyestuffs, perylene tetracarb(yxylic acid diimides, perinone dyestuffs or cobalt phthalocyanine. The aforesaid sul- 3)5152732 3 4 fonic acid hydroxyeth3ilamides can be obtained by react- which products contain at least one exchangeable chlorine ing the appropriate sulfonic acid chloride with p-hydroxy- atom, for example, the compound of the formula ethylamine, or by reacting a vat dyestuff containing a mobile halogen atom, for example, an aminoantbra- N \ quinone of which the amino group is substituted 'by a 5 0 NH-0 C-Cl chlorotriazine radical, with an amine of the formula I 11 N N S 0,@,NII-CI12CI12-011 II2N-<= 10 The sulfating of the hydroxyethylsulfonamides is advantageously carried out in concentrated sulfuric acid in the cold, for example, within the range of 0-50' C., and adeach part of dyestuff. The sulfatin.- can also be carried out with oleum or chlorosulfonic acid or an - addition compound of chlorosulfonic acid with a tertitry base or amide, for example, pyridine, triethylamine or dimethyl- 2( formamide. In the form of the process described under (e) there are used as starting materials aminoanthraquinones, for example, 1:5-diaminoanthraquinone, I-ami no-5-benzoylaminoanthraquinone, 4 - aminoanthraqu inone-2:1(N)- )5 acridones, 4:4'- or 4:5'- or 5:5'-diamino-1: l '-dianthrimidecarbazole or 5-aminoantbraquinone-2: 1(N)-':2'(N)- naphthcarbazole. As acylating agents containnig a g-sulfatoalkylsulfonamide group there n-lay be mentioned more especially ben- 30 zoic acid halides and preferably the compound of the formula S02NHC11201-12OS03H cioc 35 -<= These compounds are advantageously obtained by reacting the appropriate sulfobenzoic acid with c hlorosulfonic acid to form the bedzoic acid sulfochloride, condensing 40 the latter with 6-sulfatoethylamine or 6- hydroxyethylamine to form benzoic acid-(,6-sulfatoethyl)- or -(g-hydroxyethyl)-sulfonaniide, and reacting the latter with a sulfating agent. As acylating agents there may be mentioned also, for example, compounds of the formula 45 Th- condensation product is reacted with an amine coii.taining a sulfonic acid-psulfatoalkylamide group, for exvantageously With at lepst 5 parts of sulfuric acid for 1,,3 ample, the amine of the formula N N [I ei- C-Cl 55 @-IN The reaction of the aminoanthraquinone with the acylating agent is advantageously carried out in an inert 60 organic solvent, for example, nitrobenzene, chlorobenzene or ortho-dichlorobenzene, at a raised temperature or in water. The molecular proportions of the coniponents are advantageously so chosen that for each amino .-roup of the anthraquinone radical approximately one 65 carboxylic acid chloride group or one -roup of the formula ci I -N@c- 70 of the acrylating agent is present. In the form of the process described under (d) there are used as starting materials, more especially reaction products of aminoanthraquinones with cyanuric chloride, 75 02NHCH2CH2OSo3H 50 II2N- <:D- S02NIICH2CH20SO311 The dyesttiffs so chosen can be isolated from the reaction mixture and, notwithstanding the presence of the reactive gro-uping of the Formula 1, they can be worked up, into useful dry dyestuff preparations. They can be isolated from the reaction mixture by filtration. The filtered. dyestuff, if desired after the addition of a neutral or weakly alkaline extender, may be dried. Drying is advantageotisly carried out at not too high a temperature, and if desired, under redticed pressure. The dyestuffs of this invention are suitable for dyeing a wide variety of materials, but especially for dyeing or printing textile materials of natural or regenerated cellil-; lose by the methods ustial for dyeing or printing with vat@ dyestuffs. The dyeings and prints so produced are distinguished by their excellent fastness to light and wet fastness. In view of the fact that, in contradistinction to rhe conventional vat dyestuffs, they can generally not be i-emoved to any substantial extent from the fiber by means of hot dimethylformamide, it must be assumed that, the dyestuffs are chemically bound on the fiber. The dyeings produced with the dyestuffs of this invention are therefore fast to dry cleaning and fast to migration. Fabrics dyed therewith can be coated with synthetic resins, for example, polyvinyl chloride, withotit the dyesttiff migrating into the plastic, which is especially important in the manufacture of artificial leather. The dyestuffs of this invention can generally be vatted very easily and freqiiently even at room temperature. The wate,r-soluble dyestuffs containing a radical of the Formula I can be vatted very rapidly, even with mild reducing agents such as glucose. As the reactivity of thei -OS03H groups in the sulfonic acid alkylaniide' radical may vary somewhat from dyestuff to dyestuff, it is of advantage to select the dyeing conditions, especially the concentration of alkali and reducing agent and also the duration and temperature of dyeing or steaming, depending on: the dyestuff used. The optimum conditions can easily be dete@rmined by preliminary tests. As compared with conventional vat dyestuffs, the vat dyes of the invention have the advantage of a better levelling and through-dyeing power. Moreover, in machinedyeing, even when foaming occurs, they do not cause faulty dyeings due to the precipitation of reoxidized dyestuff, and the pigmcntation necessary in dyeing wound, bodies, for exaniple, cross-wound spools or tricots on a reelin.- vat, with conventional vat dyestuffs is dispensed with when the dyestuffs of the invention are used.!They can also be used in the form of solutions in the fastrunning padding method, and there is no need for finely; dispersed commercial forms or special paste forms, so that the disadvantages connected with the latter, namelyi instability of the paste, dust and the necessity of one or more operations for producing finely dispersed powders, do not exist. Finally, they can usually be vatted very easily, frequently at @room temperature and, if desired, with mild reducing agents. They possess a very good solubility in 3)5157732 5 6 th e vat, and especially on regenerated cellulose they proE XAMPLE 2 d uce strong and very level dyeings which have shades si milar to those of the corresponding. dyeings on cotton. 1 0.6 parts of the sulfochloride of the formula T he following examples illustrate the invention, the p arts and percentages being by weight unless otherwise 5 st ated, and the relationship of parts by weight to parts 0 by volume being the same as that of the kilogram to the 0 NH2 N F-XAMPLE I c 13.8 parts of I-aminoanthraquinone-6-(p-hydroxyeth- 10 yl)-sulfonamide (prepared by condensing 1-nitroanthraquinone-6-sulfochloride with monoethanolamine and reH duction with sodium hydrosulfide in an aqueous solution) are heated in 150 parts of nitrobenzene with 4.5 parts of 15 @o-c>-SO2CI 2-phenyl-4:6-dichlorotriazine-(1:3:5) for 5 hours with stirring at 150 to 155' C.
