Abstract: The invention relates to mixed ester photosensitive compounds and photosensitizer compositions comprised thereof. The photosensitive compounds and photosensitizer compositions are prepared by condensing phenolic compounds with a 1,2-naphthoquinonediazide-4-sulfonic acid halide and an organic acid halide in specific ratios. Photoresist compositions comprising the photosensitive compounds and photosensitizer compositions are also disclosed. The photosensitizer compositions exhibit excellent solution stablity and resistance to precipitation when formulated in alkali-soluble resin photoresist compositions. The photoresist compositions have improved shelf life.

Abstract: Water-soluble azo compounds having fiber-reactive dye properties conforming to the formula ##STR1## in which D denotes a benzene or naphthalene ring;R.sup.1 denotes hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, sulfo or carboxy;R.sup.

Abstract: The invention relates to reactive dyes of the formula ##STR1## wherein D is the radical of a diazo component, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl or alkenyl group, Y is a --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --X radical in which X is a fibre-reactive radical, and the benzene ring A may be further substituted. These dyes are suitable for dyeing and printing textile fibre material and yield dyeings and prints of good fastness properties.
