Today, indigo is produced from aniline in
a four-stage synthesis.
5 Many other plant dyes are known, e.g.
from the substance classes of flavones
and flavonoids, anthraquinones and
corticoids. They are supplemented by
the extensive group of inorganic color
pigments. These include, for example,
the earth colors umbra, ochre and terra di
sienna, as well as chalk and silicic acid.
? Ten Quickies
1. Name at least three natural organic dyes
that have been known for a long time!
2. In what century have they gradually been
replaced by synthetic dyes? From which
carbon source were these synthetic dyes
first produced?
3. Describe the historical production of Tyrian
purple and its application to textiles! How
is this form of dyeing called? What is the
chemical structure of Tyrian purple?
4. Which region does the madder plant
come from and how did it spread?
5. What is the chemical structure of alizarin?
How can it be synthesized? How does it
adhere to the fiber?
6. From what plant is indigo obtained?
Describe how this dye is produced!
7. Name a product that is still dyed with
indigo on a large scale today?
8. How was “genuine Indian yellow”
produced in the past?
9. Name other dye classes besides the
indigo and anthraquinone dyes!
10. List some mineral color pigments!
