Abstract: Condensation products obtainable by condensation of a mixture comprising unsubstituted melamine, substituted melamine and hydroxyphenyl compounds with formaldehyde or formaldehyde donor compounds are dyed in the form of fibers, yarns, threads, wovens, knits or nonwovens in an aqueous liquor with one or more dyes of the class of the azo, anthraquinone, coumarin, methine, azamethine, quinophthalone or nitro dyes.

Abstract: Dye mixtures containa) one or more azo dyes of the formula I ##STR1## where Y.sup.1 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy or unsubstituted or substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -alkanoylamino or C.sub.3 - or C.sub.4 -alkenylamino orY.sup.2 and Y.sup.3 are each hydrogen or unsubstituted or substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkylb) the azo dye of the formula II ##STR2## where L is allyl which may be partially replaced by or may furthermore be hydrogen andc) optionally, an azo dye of the formula III and/or IV as described in the specification.

Abstract: Double attachment reactive dyes have the formula ##STR1## where U.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, phenyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.10 -alkenyl or the radical ##STR2## where Q.sup.1 and Q.sup.2 are each independently of the other hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl and Q.sup.3 is a group which is detachable under alkaline reaction conditions,Z is the radical ##STR3## where each Q.sup.4 is independently of the other hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl which may be substituted by cyano, U.sup.2 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, phenyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.10 -alkenyl or the radical ##STR4## where Q.sup.5 and Q.sup.6 are each independently of the other hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl and Q.sup.7 is a group which is detachable under alkaline reaction conditions, and w is 0, 1 or 2,t is 0, 1 or 2,v is 1 or 2 and X and L are each as defined in the description, with the proviso that at least one of the two radicals U.sup.1 and U.sup.2 is not C.sub.1 -C.sub.

Abstract: A vat dye based on monobromofluoranthene is prepared by a process in which monobromofluoranthene which contains no more than 7% of dibromofluoranthene is reacted with 1-amino-4-benzoylaminoanthraquinone, the reaction product is condensed at from 50.degree. to 70.degree. C. in 83-88% strength sulfuric acid to give the carbazole compound, and the latter is then further brominated to a bromine content of from 20 to 23% by weight.The dyes obtained by the novel process are very useful for dyeing cotton.

Abstract: Triphendioxazines are prepared by cyclizing benzoquinone derivatives in oleum in the presence of an organic iodine compound.
