Terms extracted from /CN field, if searched, are searched with /CN suffix.) Select
Slide8: You can change the searching field:

TI Azo dyes incorporating anionic and cationic groups, their
production and their use on paper
PA Ciba Specialty Chemicals Holding Inc., Switz.
PI WO 2003010239 A1 20030206
AB The invention relates to azo dyes (I and/or II; A = optionally substituted benzenesulfonic acid group; R = H, optionally substituted C1-4-alkyl; X1, X2 = N-containing group; n = 0, 1), the compds. being in an internal or external salt form. The dyes are prepared using ANH2 as the diazo components. The dyes are predominantly red and show high degrees of dyeing exhaustion and fastness to water and light. In an example, the condensation product of cyanuric chloride with 3-(diethylamino)propylamine and 6-amino-1-naphthol-3-sulfonic acid (1:2:1) was prepared and coupled with diazotized 1-naphthylamine-6- sulfonic acid to give a red dye.

Slide55: 1CI-7CI records
The 1CI-7CI index data for substances have been keyed from the print volumes. Each index entry, i.e., the CA index name for a substance, was matched against the names in the Registry file. Substances that matched are now searchable with both names and CAS Registry Numbers. The CA substance index names that did not match against Registry substance names have been added to the IT field and may be searched in the /IT field or in the Basic Index (6th or 7th CI index name).
In the following example, the second IT is a substance that did not match any Registry names. Its name (as it appeared in the printed index) has been added to the IT field. No CAS Registry Number is included with the name.
The third IT includes four substances that did match Registry names; both their CAS Registry Numbers and their names were included.
