Abstract: Azo dyes of the formula ##STR1## where X is oxygen or a radical of the formula NR.sup.6, where R.sup.6 is hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.13 -alkyl,R.sup.1 is substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.13 -alkyl or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl,Y is hydrogen, halogen or cyano,Z is nitro or additionally cyano when Y is halogen or cyano,R.sup.2 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, methoxymethyl or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl,R.sup.3 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, andR.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.13 -alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkenyl,are useful for dyeing or printing synthetic materials and are synthesizable using novel dinitroaminoaromatics as diazo components.

Abstract: Methine or azamethine dyes are prepared on the basis of pyridine dyes by condensing an oxime- or formyl-pyridine or its tautomeric form with 5-membered aromatic heterocycles.
