Abstract: Disazo pigments of the formula ##STR1## WHEREIN X and Y denote hydrogen or halogen atoms, alkyl or alkoxy groups containing 1-6 carbon atoms, or aryloxy, trifluoromethyl, nitro, cyano or carboxylic acid ester groups, or wherein X and Y conjointly denote a fused benzene ring are useful for coloring plastics, lacquers and printing inks in yellow shades.

Abstract: Disazo pigments of the formula ##STR1## wherein A denotes a phenylene or naphthylene radical, R denotes an aryl, alkyl or alkenyl group optionally substituted by halogen atoms, by hydroxyl, alkoxy or alkylmercapto groups containing 1-6 C atoms, by alkoxycarbonyl groups containing 2-6 C atoms or cyano, aryl, aryloxy, arylmercapto or heterocyclic radicals, or denotes a heterocyclic radical, and the X and Y denote H atoms or substituents which do not confer solubility in water are useful for coloring plastics lacquers and printing inks in yellow to orange shade of good fastness properties.

Abstract: 1:1 metal complexes of bis-azomethines of the formula ##STR1## wherein R denotes an alkylene radical which contains 2-8 C atoms and is optionally interrupted by hetero-atoms, X denotes a H or halogen atom or an alkyl, alkoxy, carboxyl, alkoxy-carbonyl or phenylazo group and Y and Z denote H or halogen atoms, or wherein the substituents Y and Z form a fused benzene ring, if R contains a hetero-atom, Y and Z must not be H atoms, and if R contains 2 C atoms, X, Y and Z must not be H atoms, and a metal are valuable pigments coloring plastics and printing inks in fast yellow to range shades.

Abstract: Monoazo pigments of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 denotes a H atom, an alkyl group containing 1-4 C atoms or an aryl radical, R.sub.2 denotes a H atom, an alkyl group containing 1-4 C atoms, or an aralkyl or aryl radical, or wherein the radicals R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, conjointly with the N atom, form a heterocyclic 5-membered or 6-membered ring, R.sub.3 denotes an H atom or halogen atom or an alkyl group containing 1-4 C atoms, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 denote H atoms, alkyl groups containing 1-4 C atoms or phenyl groups optionally substituted by halogen atoms and alkyl and alkoxy groups containing 1-4 C atoms, X denotes an O atom or an imino group, Y denotes an O atom or S atom or an imino group, and Z denotes a halogen atom, an alkyl or alkoxy group containing 1-4 C atoms, or an aryloxy group, and wherein the carbonamide group is located in the m- or p-position to the azo group are prepared.

Abstract: New diazo pigments of the formula ##EQU1## wherein A denotes a phenylene or naphthylene radical and R denotes an aromatic radical containing a --CONH-- group bonded in a cyclic structure are prepared. The pigments are useful for coloring high-molecular organic materials such as polyamides, polyurethanes or polyesters. The pigments have good fastness to light, migration and weathering.
