Aminothiazoles, benzothiazoles, thiadiazoles and thiophenes were diazotised and coupled to N‐β‐cyanoethyl‐N‐β‐hydroxyethylaniline to give dyes which coloured polyester in orange to blue hues. The colour of the dyes is discussed with respect to the nature of the heterocyclic ring and substituents therein. Solvent effects on the visible absorption maxima of some of the dyes are also reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
