PATENT DESCRIPTION The invention is in the technical field of fiber-reactive dyes.

The practise of dyeing with fiber-reactive dyes additionally leads to increased demands on the quality of the dyeings and the economy of the dyeing process, which is why novel fiber-reactive dyes are required which have improved properties, not only good fastnesses, but also a high degree of fixing to the material to be dyed. Thus in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 4 122 100 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,319,074, 5,340,928, 5,436,324 and 5,538,518, fiber-reactive dyes are disclosed which contain a 2,4-difluoropyrimidin-6-yl radical as a fiber-reactive component. Because of the increased demands addressed, these known dyes are worthy of improvement, in particular with respect to their degree of fixing and the color intensity of the dyeings and prints obtainable using them.

With the present invention, novel fiber-reactive dyes having a 5,6-difluoropyrimidin-4-yl radical as a fiber-reactive group have been found, which correspond to the formula (1)

In the condensation reactions, care is to be taken that the fiber-reactive groups are not damaged in the alkaline range.

The reactions of the starting compounds are carried out in suspension or solution in aqueous or aqueous-organic medium. If the reactions are carried out in an aqueous-organic medium, the organic medium is, for example, acetone, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or N-methyl-pyrrolidone. Advantageously, the hydrogen halide liberated in the condensation is continuously neutralized by addition of aqueous alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates or bicarbonates. The condensation reaction of the 4,5,6-trifluoropyrimidine is as a rule carried out at a temperature between -5.degree. C. and +50.degree. C., preferably at a temperature between 0.degree. C. and +40.degree. C., and at a pH between 2 and 11, preferably between 4 and 10.

The reaction of the starting compounds of the formula Fb--N(R.sup.A)H and of the formula (21) is as a rule carried out at a temperature between -5.degree. C. and +60.degree. C., if Hal is fluorine preferably at a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 30.degree. C., and at a pH between 3 and 10, preferably between 6 and 9.

The reaction of the compounds of the formulae (22) and (23) is as a rule carried out at a temperature between -5.degree. C. and +30.degree. C., if Hal is fluorine preferably at a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 30.degree. C., and at a pH between 3 and 10, preferably between 6 and 9.

The starting compounds Fb--N(R.sup.A)H or of the formula (20) and their precursors are generally known and described in large numbers in the literature.

The starting compounds of the formulae (21) and (23) can be prepared in a manner which is customary and known per se by reaction of a dihalo-s-triazine substituted by the substituent G with an amine of the formula H(R.sup.B)N--W.sup.A --N(R)H and then with 4,5,6-trifluoropyrimidine or by reaction of this diamino compound with 4,5,6-trifluoropyrimidine. The starting compound of the formula (22) is obtained analogously by procedures known per se by reaction of a compound of the formula Fb--N(R.sup.A)H of the abovementioned meaning with a dihalo-s-triazine substituted by the substituent G.
