Abstract
A process for the preparation of triphenylmethane dye of the formula ##STR1## wherein R1 and R2 each denote hydrogen, C1 -C4 alkyl, benzyl or sulfobenzyl,
R3 and R4 each denote hydrogen, C1 -C4 alkyl or sulfonic acid
R5 denotes a phenyl, sulfophenyl, dialkylaminophenyl, C1 -C4 alkylphenyl, C1 -C4 alkyl-dialkylaminophenyl, halogenophenyl, naphthyl, sulfonaphthyl, disulfonaphthyl, or alkyldisulfonaphthyl by oxidation of the leuco compound of the corresponding triphenylmethane dye with manganese dioxide in the presence of an aqueous phosphoric acid at a temperature of about 20° C. to about 100° C.,
by the addition of a base selected from the group consisting of ammonia, amines, aminoalcohols, metal hydroxides of Groups IA, IIA, IIIA and mixtures thereof in an amount sufficient to neutralize the aqueous solution,
by filtration from the precipitate and
by isolation of the triphenylmethane dye.
