Abstract: Disclosed are novel azo dyes from 2-amino-5-organothio-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and N-cyanoethyl-m-acylamidoanilines. These dyes are useful for dyeing synthetic hydrophobic fibers and particularly polyester. The dyes have the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl, aryl or cycloalkyl; X is hydrogen, or alkyl; R.sub.1 is hydrogen, alkyl or aralkyl; and R.sub.2 is formyl or alkanoyl; and wherein the alkyl, aryl and cycloalkyl moieties of R and R.sub.2 may be substituted with a large variety of groups such as --OH, OOC-alkyl, --COO-alkyl, succinimido, phthalimido, alkoxy, carbamoyl and the like.

Abstract: A magenta image dye-providing compound having a formula as follows: ##SPC1##Wherein:Car represents a carrier moiety which, as a function of oxidation under alkaline conditions, releases a diffusible dye from said compound;m and q each represent an integer having a value of 0 or 1;X represents a bivalent linking group;Z.sup.1 represents hydrogen or Z;R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, an alkyl radical an alkoxy radical having 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, or halogen;D represents cyano, sulfo, fluorosulfonyl, halogen, a --SO.sub.
