Abstract: There are described azo compounds which possess fiber-reactive groups and have valuable dye properties and are capable of dyeing hydroxy- and/or carboxamido-containing materials, in particular fiber materials, such as cellulose fibers and natural and synthetic polyamide such as wool, in strong, fast shades. They conform to the formula (1) ##STR1## where D is phenyl or naphthyl which are each substituted, at least one of these substituents being a water-solubilizing group or containing a water-solubilizing group;Y is fluorine, chlorine or a group of the formula--A--RwhereA is oxygen or the group NH andR is hydrogen, cycloalkyl or alkyl which may be interrupted by one or two hetero groups, or is benzyl, sulfomethyl, .beta.-sulfoethyl or cyano;X is fluorine, chlorine or a group conforming to the formula --NH--B, whereB is a group of the formula (3a), (3b) or (3c) ##STR2## where alk is alkylene which may be interrupted by one or two hetero groups,Z is a vinyl or an ethyl group which is substituted in the .beta.

Abstract: Copper complex formazan compounds which have fiber-reactive properties and are very highly suitable for use as dyes for dyeing carboxamido-containing and/or hydroxy-containing material, such as fiber material, for example wool and cellulose fiber materials, have the general formula (1) ##STR1## where A is a benzene or naphthylene ring which may be substituted by substituents customary in dyes, such as halogen, nitro, alkyl and alkoxy,B is alkylene of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or alkenylene of 2 to 8 carbon atoms which may each be substituted by phenyl which in turn may contain the substituents customary in dyes, or is alkylene-phenylene or alkenylene-phenylene having lower alkylene and alkenylene radicals, while the phenylene radicals may in turn contain the substituents customary in dyes, or is a phenylene or naphthylene radical which may contain substituents customary in dyes, or is the bivalent radical of a heterocycle, such as furan, thiophene or benzimidazole, or--B--Z together is hydrogen,Z is a water-solubil
