Abstract: Water-soluble disazo dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## which contain a 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6- or -4,6-disulfonic acid moiety as a bivalent coupling component and which contain diazo components with fibre-reactive groups characterized by the inclusion of one or two chloro-triazinyl groups and one or two of the six groups defined by the substituent Z, namely, ##STR2## each of which are connected to the benzene moiety of the diazo component; the chloro-triazinyl group is further substituted by a substituted or unsubstituted phenylamino or substituted or unsubstituted naphthylamino group, a substitutent of which may be one of the six groups defined by the Z substituent; if there is only one chloro-triazinyl group in the compound, then the diazo component is also substituted by one of the Z substituents; these compounds are dyestuffs which exhibit a good fixation degree of the dyestuffs in fabrics.

Abstract: New inclusion compound, intercalation compounds or solid solutions which are the nickel salts or nickel complexes of a compound which, in one of its tauteromeric structures, corresponds to the formula ##STR1## which contain at least one other included compound, except for one composition of matter which consists of 45 to 82% by weight of azobarbituric acid/nickel 1:1 complex, 3 to 15% by weight of benzene-sulphonamide, 5 to 20% by weight of nickel acetate and 10 to 20% by weight of water and the use of these materials as pigments are disclosed.

Abstract: A pyridone compound of the following formula, or a salt thereof, ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group having up to 4 carbon atoms, X is a hydrogen atom or a methyl or sulfo group, A is an unsubstituted or substituted phenylene or naphthylene group, and Y is --SO.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 or --SO.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Z, in which Z is a group capable of being split by the action of an alkali. The compound is useful for dyeing or printing fiber materials to give a dyed product of a brilliant yellow color excellent in various fastness properties with good reproducibility.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the preparation of concentrated stable liquid dye solutions of CI Direct Yellow 11 starting with the product of the basic condensation of para-nitrotoluene-ortho-sulfonic acid in the form of its tetrasodium reaction mass or the wet filter cake separation of the solids from said mass and the reaction liquids or the dry technical grade sodium complex which is the dried filter cake. The solid starting material is suspended in a lower alkanol/water medium; the suspension is acidified to a pH below about 2.5 to acidify each sulfo moiety on the chromophore and to form the free inorganic salt; this acidified suspension is heated to assure completion of the metathetical salt-forming reaction; after sufficient heating, the mixture of the acidified chromophore and the salt is neutralized to a pH in the range 6.0 to 7.

Abstract: A compound, useful as an anti-cancer drug or agent, having the formula: ##STR1## where X represents hydroxyl, amino or alkylamino, Y represents one member selected from ##STR2## or alkylated derivatives thereof, and Z represents hydrogen or one of the basic groups of Y, an acid addition salt of the said compound, a nitrogen oxide derivative of the said compound in the case where it contains a ring nitrogen atom or atoms.

Abstract: Reactive dyes of the formula ##STR1## wherein Y is a --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --X radical, in which X is a leaving group, and Z is hydrogen, halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or carboxy, and K is the radical of a coupling component which couples at pH.ltoreq.7, are suitable for dyeing and printing textile fibre material and give dyeings and prints of good fastness properties.

Abstract: A compound represented by a free acid of the formula: ##STR1## wherein D is ##STR2## (R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently represent hydrogen, methyl or methoxy) or ##STR3## (n is 0 or 1, the mark * signifies the position of linkage to --N.dbd.N-- and the mark # signifies the position of linkage to Q mentioned below); Q is --SO.sub.2 CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 or --SO.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 R (R is a group capable of being split off by the action of alkali); one of X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 is hydrogen and the other is a sulfonic acid group; and m is 0 or 1, which is useful for dyeing cellulose fibers a blue-black color with good dyeability and excellent fastnesses, particularly chlorine fastness.
