Abstract: There are described organic-inorganic ternary composite pigments consisting of 70%-90% by weight of an inorganic binary titanium dioxide/aluminum hydrate component and, from 10% to 30% by weight, of a co-precipitated organic component consisting of an organic dye, containing in its structure at least one carboxylic and/or sulphonic acid function, having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of NO.sub.2 --SO.sub.3 H and --COOH; R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of NO.sub.2, --SO.sub.3 H, alkyl and alkoxyl; R.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of H, halogen and alkyl; R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are each selected from the group consisting of H, halogen, alkyl and alkoxyl; R.sub.6 is selected from the group consisting of H, halogen and alkoxyl; and wherein the --COOH and/or --SO.sub.3 H group of dye (I) is salified with metal cations.

Abstract: 7-OXO-7H-dibenzo-[d e,h]-quinolin-2-ol which is useful as an intermediate in the preparation of dyestuffs is prepared by cycloisomerizing the novel compound, N-phenylacetyl phthalimide in an inert solvent and in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst to form the novel compound O-(3-hydroxy-1-isoquinolinyl)-benzoic acid which is then cyclized by dehydrating condensation to form the 7-oxo-7H-dibenzo-[d e,h]-quinolin-2-ol.
