Abstract: Uniformly dyed water-swellable cellulosic fibers obtained by dyeing cellulosic fibers in the swollen state with a dye of the formula ##STR1## in which one R is R.sup.1, OR.sup.1, SR.sup.1 or ##STR2## the other R is ##STR3## R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently of one another are hydrogen or an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic or aromatic radical, ##STR4## may also be a saturated heterocyclic radical, and D is the radical of a diazo component. The dyed fibers exhibit very good fastness properties.

Abstract: Dyes having the formula: ##STR1## IN WHICH D is the radical of a diazo component; andA is the radical of a pyrimidine coupling component bearing two unsubstituted or substituted amino groups as substituents. The dyes are eminently suitable for dyeing natural and synthetic polyamides; brilliant colorations are obtained.

Abstract: Disperse azo dyes having a diaminopyrimidine as coupling component. The dyes give brilliant colorations on textile material of synthetic fibers which have excellent fastness properties, including fastness to light and fastness to dry-heat pleating and setting. These disperse azo dyes are identified by the formula: ##STR1## in which D is the radical of a heterocyclic diazo component or a substituted diazo component of the aniline series, one X is NH.sub.2 and the other X is unsubstituted or substituted cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl or substituted alkyl.

Abstract: New diazarhodamine-lactones of the formula ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, unsubstituted phenyl or phenyl substituted by one or two alkyls of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, chlorine and/or bromine, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently of one another are hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 7 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 5 to 7 carbon atoms, phenylalkyl of 7 to 10 carbon atoms or alkoxyalkyl of a total of 3 to 8 carbon atoms, or the group ##STR2## is a 5-membered, 6-membered or 7-membered saturated heterocyclic ring or a 6-membered saturated heterocyclic ring which additionally contains an --O--, --S-- or --N--group, wherein R.sup.6 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and R.sup.5 is unsubstituted phenyl or phenyl substituted by alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, methoxy, chlorine or bromine.The lactones (I) exhibit improved stability and therefore do not stain coated paper.

Abstract: Lactones of the diazaxanthene series, their manufacture from a benzoylbenzoic acid and a pyrimidine, and their use as dye-forming components in the red range for pressure-sensitive recording material.
