Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel reactive dyestuff with an N,N-dialkylamino bridge group, represented by the following formula (I): wherein R, B, B?, E1, E2, Z, Z?, i, j, R1, R2, m and n are defined the same as the specification. The reactive dyestuff of the present invention is suitable for exhaust dyeing, cold batch-up dyeing, continuous dyeing, printing and digital spray printing materials that contain hydroxyl group or polyamine fibers.

Abstract: The present invention provides 6-azo-5,5?-dihydroxy-7,7?-disulfo-2,2?-dinaphthylamine derivatives, their use as dyes, dyed paper and formulations comprising them.

Abstract: Amyloid binding compounds which are derivatives of Chrysamine G, pharmaceutical compositions containing, and methods using such compounds to identify Alzheimer's brain in vivo and to diagnose other pathological conditions characterized by amyloidosis, such as Down's Syndrome are described. Pharmaceutical compositions containing Chrysamine G and derivatives thereof and methods using such compositions to prevent cell degeneration and amyloid-induced toxicity in amyloidosis associated conditions are also described. Methods using Chrysamine G derivatives to stain or detect amyloid deposits in biopsy or post-mortem tissue are also described. Methods using Chrysamine G derivatives to quantify amyloid deposits in homogenates of biopsy and post-mortem tissue are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of aminodiarylazo compounds by reducing nitrodiarylazo compounds using 1,2-alkanediols or 1,2-aminoalkanols.

Abstract: The novel process for dyeing cellulosic materials with disazo dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## in which the substituents NHR.sup.1 and NHR.sup.2 are in each case in the 6- and/or 7-position and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, m, n, p and q have the meaning given in the description, produces blue dyeings with very good fastness properties.

Abstract: The novel disazo dyestuffs of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which the substituents and indices have the meaning given in the description, are outstandingly suitable for dyeing cellulosic materials, in particular paper, and are distinguished by good fastness properties.

Abstract: Azo dyes of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted phenylamino,R.sub.2 is hydrogen, amino or N-mono- or N,N-di-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylamino,R.sub.3 is hydrogen or hydroxyl,R.sub.4 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkanoylamino, ureido or halogen andK is as defined in claim 1,the azo dyes of the formula (1) comprising at least one and not more than two sulfo groups,are particularly suitable for dyeing or printing cellulosic fibre materials or naturally occurring or synthetic polyamide fibre materials with a high dyeing yield, and give dyeings and prints with good fastness properties.

Abstract: Azo dyes of the formula ##STR1## where A and B are each independently of the other substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or naphthyl and X is --N(R.sub.1)--SO.sub.2 --, --O--SO.sub.2 -- or --SO.sub.2 --N(R.sub.1)--, where R.sub.1 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, produce very fast dyeings on nitrogen-containing or hydroxyl-containing fibre materials, paper or leather.

Abstract: Bisazo compounds of formula (I), an intermediate for producing the bisazo compound of formula (I), and trisazo compounds of formula (II) for use in optical information recording media, and methods of producing these compounds are disclosed: ##STR1## wherein R represents hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; an aryl group selected from the group consisting of phenyl group, naphthyl group, mesityl group, and tri-t-butyl phenyl group; an alkoxyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; a nitro group; a cyano group; chlorine; or bromine; n is an integer of 1, 2, or 3; and C.sub.p represents a coupler residue.

Abstract: The new disazo dyestuffs of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which the substituents and indices have the meaning given in the description, and salts thereof are outstandingly suitable for dyeing cellulose-containing materials and leather in blue shades having good wet- and light-fastnesses.

Abstract: The dyestuffs of the general formulae ##STR1## and salts thereof whereinX denotes hydrogen, alkoxy or NHR.sub.3,R denotes hydrogen, alkyl or alkoxy,R.sub.1 denotes alkyl,R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 denote hydrogen, alkyl, alkylcarbonyl, alkylsulphonyl, aryl, arylcar=bonyl, arylsulphonyl, aralkyl, aralkylcarbonyl or aminocarbonyl andm and n denote 1 or 2, andwherein the substituents mentioned can, in turn, be substituted by nonionic radicals or carboxylic or sulphonic acid groups customary in dyestuffs chemistry, are used for dyeing cellulose-containing materials and leather.
