Abstract: A solid or dissolved dye mixture of azo dyes having fiber-reactive groups of the vinyl sulfone series, yielding dyeings of blue color shade, comprising one or more copper formazane dyes of the general formula (1) shown and defined in claim 1, one or more disazo dyes of the general formula (2) shown and defined in claim 1, and one or two monoazo dyes of the general formula (3) shown and defined in claim 1, respectively in the description part of the patent application, which dye mixtures are suitable for dyeing hydroxy- and/or caroboxamido groups containing materials, in particular fiber materials, such as cellulose fibers, for example cotton, wool and synthetic polyamide fibers, also together with other suitable dyes in trichromatic dyeing.

Abstract: A dye mixture of azo dyes having fiber-reactive groups of the vinylsulfone series, comprising one or more navy-blue disazo dyes with the bivalent 1-amino-8-hydroxy-3,6-disulfo-naphthylene coupling component, one or more red-dyeing mono azo dyes, containing a phenylamino-chlorotriazinylamino-disulfo-naphthol-coupling component and one or more orange-dyeing monoazo dyestuffs with an amino-sulfonaphthol-coupling component, which dye mixtures are suitable for dyeing hydroxy- and/or carboxamido-groups containing materials, in particular fiber materials, such as cellulose fibers, for example cotton, wool and synthetic polyamide fibers.

Abstract: Aminated cellulosic synthetic fibers are produced by adding an amine-substituted cellulose derivative to a viscose or an alkali cellulose and spinning fibers by the viscose spinning process, or by adding said cellulose derivative to a cellulose solution and spinning fibers from said solution.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of 3-(N-aryl-amino)-propyl-2'-sulfatoethyl-sulfonyl compoundsCompounds of the formula (1)Ar--NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --SO.sub.2 --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --OSO.sub.3 M(1)are prepared by reacting a compound of the formula (2) ##STR1## with 2-mercaptoethanol to give a compound of the formula (3)Ar--NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --S--(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --OH (3)at temperatures from 90.degree. to 270.degree. C. in the presence of a catalytic amount of a base, subsequently oxidizing the compound of the formula (3) to give a compound of the formula (4)Ar--NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --SO.sub.2 --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --OH(4),and finally esterifying the compound of the formula (4) with at least one molar equivalent of sulfuric acid, oleum or halosulfonic acid to give a compound of the formula (1).Compounds of the formula (1) are valuable starting compounds for the preparation of reactive dyestuffs.
