Abstract

Organic dyes were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DEPT, and FTIR techniques. The characterization analysis of the organic dyes confirmed the preparation of, 2-naphthol-aniline, aniline black, and P-hydroxy azo-3-benzene carboxylic acid. Organic dyes are widely used in our daily life in clothing, paper, rubber, plastics, footwear, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries.

Introduction

A dye is a colored substance that is chemically bound and adheres to the substrate of understudy. In an aqueous solution, the coloring material is normally added, and a mordant may be needed to improve the fiber's dye speed. Both colors and pigments are light, so it absorbs only some wavelength. Dyes are colored since they absorb light (400 nm-700 nm) in the visible spectrum, have at least one chromosphere (color group) is required, they have a conjugate spectrum. Networks i.e. they contains double bonds alternating with single bonds in the compound. The concerned structures have electron resonance stabilizing power. When all of these features are absent from the composition of the molecules the color is lost. In addition to chromospheres, most colors contain auxochromes (color aids) such as carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, amino acid, and hydroxyl groups. Although they are not responsible for color, they can change the color of a colorant and are most typically used to impact dye solubility. Coloring has been widely used in the clothing, paper, rubber, plastics, footwear, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries, generating huge quantities of colored wastewater every year and poisoning significant environmental problems for natural streams, rivers, and, consequently, for public health [1]. Much later, the first recorded use of organic dye was 4000 century years ago, when the blue dye indigo was discovered in mummy wraps in Egypt, tombs [2]. There are about 100,000 commercially available dyes, with over 7,107 tons of dyestuff produced annually around the world. Textiles, food cosmetics, and paper printing are among the industries that employ these dyes, with the textile industry being the major user of dyes [3]. Synthetic organic dyes, such as direct dyes, processing dyes, reactive dyes, and so on, are increasingly widely used in the textile industry. To produce more appealing, common shades of fabrics for a competitive market, a wide range of dyes and chemicals are used to make them very complex environmental problems related to the production and use of dyestuffs have developed dramatically over the past decade and are undoubtedly among the major driving forces affecting the textile dye industry today [4]. The term 'natural dye' encompasses all dyes derived from natural sources, such as plants, animals, and minerals. Many natural dyes are nonsubstantive and must be added to textiles using mordents, typically a metallic salt, with an affinity for both the coloring matter and the coloring matter fiber [5]. Synthetic dyes are commonly used in a large range of industries, including the main textile manufacturing industries consumers [6]. Methyl Orange (MO) is a common and typical azo anionic dye. This water soluble organic synthetic dye has a very high colorability and presents a bright orange color when dissolved in water. Azo dyes such as methyl orange contain aromatic and azo groups in their molecules, which are highly toxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, and are harmful to the environment and organisms (Figure 1) [7,8].

Methylene Blue (MB) was first synthesized for the textile industry in 1876. MB is the most common coloring cationic dye. Typically, it is used to dye cotton, wool, and silk. Scientists like Robert Koch and Paul Ehrlich realized MB potential for use in microscopic stains. Observing selective staining and microbial species inactivation led to aniline based dyes being tested against tropical diseases. MB was the first compound of this kind to be administered to humans and was shown to be effective in malaria treatment. MB was also the first synthetic compound ever used in clinical therapy as an antiseptic. Indeed, before the advent of sulfonamides and penicillin, the use of MB and its derivatives was widespread [9]. Moreover, MB is used for several therapeutic and diagnostic procedures in human and veterinary medicine, including as a stain in bacteriology, as a colorimetric redox agent, a melanoma targeting agent, a methemoglobinaemic, and antidote, an antiseptic, and disinfectant. Also, MB is used medically in a wide range of conditions including methemoglobinemia emergency treatment, ifosfamide induced encephalopathy and cyanide, nitrate, or carbon monoxide is poisoning, and intraoperative tissue staining [10]. One of the most common clinical applications of MB is for the treatment of drug induced methemoglobinaemia, industrial chemicals such as nitrophenols, or environmental poisons such as excessive nitrate in well water or cyanide compounds. Furthermore, MB is used to treat many psychiatric disorders due to the anxiolytic and therapeutic properties related to its ability to block guanylcyclase activation by nitric oxide. Nonetheless, in 2011, the United States food and drug administration published a safety warning about the possibility of serotonin syndrome when MB is administered in combination with serotonergic psychiatric drugs (Figure 2) [11, 12].

Synthesis of 2-naphthol aniline dye: 4.5 ml of aniline was taken in a 500 ml beaker then 15 ml concentrated hydrochloric acid was added. 10 ml distilled water was gradually added and stirred. A saturated solution of NaNO2 (27.97 mmol, 4 g) with 10 ml water was created. In another beaker, (49.94 mmol 7.2 g) of 2-naphthol was taken and 60 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide solution was added to dissolve it. Beaker A-aniline+hydrochloric acid+distilled water. Beaker B-Sodium nitrite solution, beaker C-solution of 2-naphthol with sodium hydroxide, all beakers A.B.C were kept for cooling to 0 to 50°C an ice bath. After cooling tube B was slowly added to tube A while stirring to make benzene diazonium Chloride. After cooling tube C was added into tube A, stirring a precipitate was appear, It appears an orange-red color (2-naphthol aniline dye) that is heavy enough to form a precipitate, then filtered off and wash the crude sample with cold water, using glacial acetic acid, dry and recrystallize it. The weight of the compound that obtained from preparation was (49.54 mmol, 12.3 g), and therefore the residue had 94.61% yield. The compound had melting point 123°C. The synthesis reaction is shown in Figure 3.

Preparation of Aqueous Methylene Blue and Methyl Orange Dyes Solutions

In this work, 10 ppm of methylene blue and methyl orange dyes were prepared. The preparation of the stock solutions was performed using a certain amount of solid dye and dissolved in a portion of water in the volumetric flask.

Characterization of Organic Dyes

FTIR spectroscopy: FTIR spectrum of the 2-naphthol aniline, aniline black, and P-hydroxy azo-3-benzene carboxylic acid extract was measured (as KBr discs) in the range of 400-4000 cm-1 on FT-IR spectrophotometer (Shimadzu FTIR-8400 S, Kyoto, Japan). The important IR bands, such as Ê? (C–N), Ê? (O–H), Ê? (CH), Ê? (C=C), Ê? (NH), Ê? (CO) and (CH) symmetric and asymmetric stretching, and stretching frequencies were studied to determine the presence of functional groups of organic dyes.

NMR Spectroscopy

1H NMR spectroscopy: The NMR spectrum of isolated products was obtained on a DRX-400 (1H 400 MHz) instrument from BRUKER (Karlsruhe, Germany). Tetra methyl silane was used as an internal standard. Proton chemical shifts are expressed in ppm (d) in comparison to internal Tetra methyl saline (TMS, d 0.0 ppm) or the solvent reference in comparison to TMS (CDCl3, d 7.26 ppm) and (DMSO, d 2.5 ppm). The following information is provided: Multiple (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), quartet (q), multiple (m), coupling constants (Hz), integration.

13C NMR spectroscopy: Carbon NMR spectra were acquired with complete proton decoupling on a varian 400 (100 MHz) or 500 (125 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical changes in carbon are reported in ppm (d) relative to TMS, with the solvent resonance as the internal standard (CDCl3, d 77.0 ppm) and (DMSO, d 40 ppm. All NMR spectra were acquired at ambient temperature.
