Abstract: Azo compounds, having the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy or halogen and A is a 2-position substituted tetrahydroquinoline type coupler which may be further substituted, or a benzomorpholine type coupler for disperse azo dyes, produce bright, level reddish-blue to blue shades on synthetic polyamide fiber and exhibit good to excellent fastness to light, sublimation, ozone and gas.

Abstract: Substituted phenylazo compounds having a cyclohexylaminoacylanilide coupling component are useful as dyes for polyester textile materials on which the compounds exhibit improved dyeability, fastness to light, resistance to sublimation and improved brightness.

Abstract: Monoazo compounds containing a N-substituted-3- or 4-phthalimidyl diazo component and certain m-acylamido-N-substituted aniline residue coupling components produce bright scarlet to red shades on fibers of, for example, polyester, polyamide and cellulose esters, and exhibit improved dyeability properties and good to excellent fastness to light, high pH, sublimation and crocking.

Abstract: Monoazo compounds, which exhibit improved light, wash and crock fastness, build-up, migration, sublimation fastness, and dyeability properties on polyamide textile materials on which the compounds produce red to violet shades, which have the general formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkoxy, cyclohexoxy, aryloxy, halogen, or alkanoylamino; R.sup.2 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy or halogen; R.sup.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 each is hydrogen or methyl; R.sup.6 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy or acylamido; and R.sup.7 is alkyl, allyl, or certain substituted alkyl groups.

Abstract: Azo compounds having the formula ##SPC1##In which X and Y are hydrogen or a substituent, R.sup.1 is alkyl or R.sup.4 , R.sup.2 is hydrogen, alkyl or alkoxy, R.sup.3 is hydrogen or alkyl, and R.sup.4 is aryl, cyclohexyl, alkoxy, benzyl, 2-furyl or --R.sup.5 --O--Z in which R.sup.5 is alkylene and Z is aryl. The compounds are useful for dyeing polyester fibers and exhibit good dyeability, fastness to light and resistance to sublimation.

Abstract: Azo compounds especially useful for dyeing polyamide fibers on which the compounds exhibit improved fastness and dyeability properties contain a phenyl diazo component having a substituent in the 4-position and hydrogen, chlorine or bromine in the 2-position, and a tetramethyl substituted tetrahydroquinoline coupling component.

Abstract: Monoazo compounds produce fast blue to green shades on polyester, nylon and cellulose acetate fibers and consist of a 2,1-benzisothiazole-3-yl diazo component and an .alpha.-naphthylamine coupling component, the nitrogen atom of which is monosubstituted with a cycloalkyl, aryl or substituted alkyl group.
