Abstract: 1:2 Metal complexes of the formula ##STR1## wherein X.sub.1 is --O-- or ##STR2## and X.sub.2 is --O-- or ##STR3## the starred atom being attached A.sub.1 or A.sub.2, respectively, A.sub.1 is a diazo component radical of the benzene series,A.sub.2 is a diazo component radical of the benzene or naphthalene series,W is --CH.sub.3 or --COOH,R is hydrogen or --SO.sub.3 H,each of B.sub.1 and B.sub.2 is independently a coupling component radical or a phenolic hydroxy group-containing coupling component radical at least one phenolic hydroxy group of which is etherified or acylated,M is iron, cobalt or chromium, andn is 1 or 2,which complexes are useful as anionic dyestuffs having olive to brown colors for substrates such as natural and regenerated cellulose, natural and synthetic polyamides, polyurethane and anodized aluminum, especially leather.

Abstract: A monoazo compound represented by a free acid of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, aralkyl or cyclohexyl group; R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl or sulfonic acid group; R.sub.4 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; A represents an oxygen atom or --NH--; X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 independently represent a hydrogen or chlorine atom, or a methyl, methoxy, carboxyl or sulfonic acid group; and Y represents --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Z in which Z represents a halogen atom, --OSO.sub.3 H or --OPO.sub.3 H.sub.2. This compound is used for dyeing cellulose fibers to give dyed products of yellow to reddish yellow having excellent fastnesses, particularly chlorine fastness.
