Abstract: A process for preparing adenine by reacting an arylazomalononitrile with formic acid or its derivatives in the presence of ammonia and then subjecting the intermediate pyrimidine derivative to a reaction under catalytic reduction condition. Adenine can be prepared in high purity and high yields without isolating the intermediate pyrimidine derivative, when ammonia is removed before conducting the reaction under catalytic reduction condition.

The produced adenine is effectively purified by separation of insoluble materials from an aqueous hot solution of adenine adjusted to pH 7.5 to 9.0 and formation of a mineral acid salt of adenine followed by decoloration by heating in the presence of active carbon.

Abstract: When a diamine of the formula ##STR1## in which n is 1 to 4, is bis-diazotized and the resulting bis-diazo compound is coupled with 2 moles of one or more coupling components of the formula ##STR2## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, methyl or methoxy and R.sup.2 is hydrogen or, if R.sup.1 is hydrogen, also methyl or ethyl, disazo compounds are obtained which are colorants. Due to their high fastness to light and to migration and their heat stability and dispersibility, these compounds are useful for pigmenting high molecular weight materials, especially polyolefins.

Abstract: Azo Pigments are made by subjecting a diazo component to an azo coupling reaction with the equivalent quantity of a coupling component difficultly soluble at less than 65.degree. C. in the aqueous/acid and aqueous/neutral pH-ranges. More specifically, an aqueous/acid-solution of the diazo component is continuously mixed at a temperature of less than 65.degree. C. within a period of less than 1 minute with the aqueous/alkaline solution of the coupling component and a predetermined pH between 2 and 9 is established by controlling the flow of the mass streams of diazo component and coupling component; in this way a portion of the coupling component is caused to undergo immediate reaction to the azo pigment to be made whereas the balance portion of the coupling component simultaneously commences precipitating as finely crystalline reactive matter, which is reacted in a post-reaction phase with unreacted diazo component to give the azo pigment to be made.
