Abstract: The invention relates to a process for dyeing or printing hydroxyl group containing fiber materials, which comprises using at least one yellow or orange dyeing dye of formula ##STR1## wherein the substituents are as defined in claim 1, together with at least one blue dyeing dye and/or at least one red dyeing dye. Level dyeings and prints with good allround fastness properties are obtained by the process of the invention.

Abstract: The compounds of the formula ##STR1## where the substituents are as defined in claim 1, are direct dyes for various substrates, in particular cellulosic fibre materials. They are high temperature resistant and therefore are particularly highly suitable for the one-bath, single-stage dyeing of polyester/cotton blend fabrics with a disperse dye for the polyester fibres under the dyeing conditions for polyester fibres.

Abstract: Dye mixtures comprising at least one dye of formula ##STR1## and at least one dye of formula ##STR2## wherein the substituents are as defined in claim 1, have good allround fastness properties and are suitable for dyeing cellulosic fibre materials.

Abstract: The use of compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which the symbols are as defined in claim 1, for dyeing leather is described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the end-to-end dyeing of cellulosic fibres or cellulosic fibre blends with direct dyes by the pad dyeing process, which comprises padding said fibre materials with an aqueous liquor containing one or more deionized dyes and a migration inhibitor, then expressing the padded goods and subsequently fixing the dye thereon.The process of the invention is suitable for dyeing textile cellulosic fibres or cellulosic fibre blends end-to-end in shades of good allround fastness properties.

Abstract: The compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which the substituents and indices are as defined in claim 1, are green direct dyes for various substrates, in particular cellulosic fibre materials. They are stable to high temperatures and are therefore particularly suitable for the one-bath, one-stage dyeing of polyester/cotton mixed fabrics together with a disperse dye for the polyester fibres, under the dyeing conditions for polyester fibres.

Abstract: This invention relates to direct dyes for various substrates, in particular cellulosic fiber materials. The inventive dyes are high-temperature-resistant and highly suitable for the single bath, one step dyeing of polyester/cotton mixed fabrics with a disperse dye for the polyester fibers under the dyeing conditions for polyester fibers.The inventive dyes are of the formula ##STR1## in which A is a radical of the formula ##STR2## A' has the meaning of A or is a mono- or polyazo dye radical which is different from A, R and R', independently of one another, are hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by chlorine, hydroxyl, cyano, carboxyl, sulfo, sulfato, methoxy, ethoxy, methoxycarbonyl or ethoxycarbonyl, R.sub.1 is hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylthio, amino, N-mono- or N,N-di-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylamino which is unsubstituted or substituted in the alkyl moiety by hydroxyl, carboxyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.

Abstract: The compounds of the formula ##STR1## where the substituents and indices are as defined in claim 1, are green direct dyes for various substrates, in particular cellulosic fibre materials. They are high-temperature stable and therefore are particularly highly suitable for the one-bath, single-stage dyeing of polyester/cotton blend fabrics together with a disperse dye for the polyester fibres under the dyeing conditions for polyester fibres.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid by sulfonating 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone or leuco-1,4-diaminoanthraquinone, which comprises carrying out the sulfonation at elevated temperature with oleum as sulfonating agent, with or without the addition of a Lewis base. The 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid is used in particular for synthesizing anthraquinoid disperse dyes for dyeing hydrophobic fibre materials.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1,4-diamino-2,3-dicyanoanthraquinone, starting from 1,4-diaminoanthraquinones, or salts thereof, of the formula ##STR1## wherein n is 0, 1 or 2. To introduce the two cyanide radicals, the starting material is treated, in the presence of an oxidizing agent, with a compound which donates cyanide ions. The process comprises using as solvent a mixture of a carboxamide, an N-alkylated carboxamide or a lactam and water, which mixture contains more than 10% by weight of water.1,4-Diamino-2,3-dicyanoanthraquinone is an important intermediate for the synthesis of textile dyes.

Abstract: There are described dye mixed crystals consisting of 1 part of the dye of the formula ##STR1## and 0.5-5 parts of the dye of the formula ##STR2## the production thereof, and their use for dyeing and printing hydrophobic fiber materials, particularly polyester materials. Blue dyeings having a good dye build-up are obtained.
