Abstract

Monoazo compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is chloro, bromo nitro, C.sub.1-4 alkylsulfonyl, phenylsulfonyl, (C.sub.1-4 alkyl)carbonyl or benzoyl, each of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, independently, is hydrogen, chloro or bromo, with the proviso that at least one of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is hydrogen, each of R.sub.4 and R.sub.5, independently, is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, ##STR2## or in which each of R.sub.10, R.sub.11 and R.sub.12, independently, is hydrogen, chloro, bromo, methyl, methoxy or ethoxy, and R.sub.6 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, (C.sub.1-4 alkoxy)C.sub.2-4 alkyl, phenyl or phenyl substituted by up to three substituents selected from the group consisting of choro, bromo, methyl, methoxy and ethoxy, which compounds are useful as disperse dyes for substrates consisting of or comprising hydrophobic, high molecular weight synthetic or semi-synthetic organic fibers such as polyesters, synthetic polyamides and cellulose 21/2 acetate and triacetate. The dyeings exhibit notable fastness to light, thermofixation, sublimation, pleating, wet treatments, perspiration, solvents, lubricants, rubbing, cross dyeing, ozone, gas fumes and chlorine and stability to reduction when dyed with wool. The dyes build-up particularly well on polyesters.
