Abstract

Anthraquinone-azo pyridone-containing compounds which in one of their tautomeric structures, correspond to the formula ##STR1## in which A denotes an .alpha.-anthraquinone radical which is free from sulphonic acid groups and is unsubstituted or substituted and preferably consists of at most 5 fused rings; R.sub.1 denotes hydrogen; alkyl, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl; aryl, preferably phenyl or naphthyl; carboxyl; carboxylic acid ester, preferably carboxylic acid C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl ester; or hydroxyl and R.sub.2 denotes hydrogen; halogen; nitro; cyano; unsubstituted or substituted carbamoyl or sulphamoyl; alkylcarbonyl, in particular (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl)-carbonyl; alkoxycarbonyl, in particular (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy)-carbonyl; alkyl- or unsubstituted or substituted aryl-sulphone, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl-sulphone or unsubstituted or substituted phenylsulphone; or a hetero-aromatic radical, for example, a radical of the formula ##STR2## or of the formula ##STR3## Such anthraquinone-azo compounds, because of their fastness to light and migration, are suitable for use in producing fast pigmented systems.
