The coupling reaction of process (a) may be carried out in accordance with known methods.

The reactions of the compounds of formula II with those of formula III may be carried out in accordance with conventional methods. It will be appreciated that where R is --R.sub.2 COOH or a functional derivative thereof the compounds of formula III and formula II are employed in at least 2:1 molar ratio. Suitable functional derivatives of --R.sub.2 COOH are the acid chlorides.

The compounds of formula V may be prepared by condensing an ester of formula IV, ##STR14## with an amine of formula VII ##STR15## in the presence of an acid binding agent or by condensing a compound of formula VIII or IX, ##STR16## with the alcohol of formula X, ##STR17##

The condensation reaction may be carried out in accordance with known methods. Suitably, the compounds of formula V are prepared by heating an amine of formula VII with acrylic or crotonic acid in the presence of an excess of the alcohol of formula X. The reaction is conducted in acid medium, for example in the presence of toluenesulphonic acid, BF.sub.3 or sulphuric acid.

The compounds of formulae II, III, IV, VII, VIII and IX are either known or may be prepared in accordance with conventional methods from available starting materials.

The compound of formula X may also be prepared in accordance with known methods by heating ClCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.2 CHOHCH.sub.2 Cl with dilute sodium hydroxide solution.

The azo compounds according to the present invention are useful as disperse dyes for dyeing or printing textiles of synthetic or semi-synthetic, hydrophobic, high molecular weight organic materials from an aqueous suspension. They are especially useful for dyeing or printing textiles of linear, aromatic polyesters, cellulose 21/2 acetate, cellulose triacetate and synthetic polyamides. The substrate may be in loose fibre, yarn or fabric form.

The compounds may be made up into dyeing preparations in accordance with known methods, for example by grinding in the presence of dispersing agents and/or fillers, with subsequent spray or vacuum drying. The dyestuff preparations may be used for exhaust dyeing, pad dyeing or printing. Dyeing and printing may be carried out in accordance with known methods, for example, as described in French Pat. No. 1,445,371.

The dyestuffs may be obtained in polymorphic thermounstable form. If such is the case, they are advantageously modifed into the thermostable form in accordance with known methods, for example by stirring in water in temperatures between 20.degree. and 100.degree. C. in the presence of an organic solvent or by recrystallization, etc.

The dyeings obtained with the dyestuffs according to the present invention possess notable fastness to light, sublimation and pressing. Furthermore, they are notably wet fast.

The following Examples further serve to illustrate the invention. In the Examples all parts are parts by weight and all temperatures are in degrees Centigrade.

EXAMPLE 1

(a) Preparation of N-[.beta.-(1,4-dioxanylmethoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-.alpha.-naphthylamine

7 Parts of anhydrous acrylic acid are added over the course of 15 minutes at 85.degree. to a mixture of 14.3 parts .alpha.-naphthylamine and 23.6 parts 2-hydroxymethyl-1,4-dioxane. Subsequently, the mixture is stirred for 15 hours at 95.degree.. After cooling, 6 parts p-toluenesulphonic acid and 30 parts toluene are added and the reaction mixture is heated to boiling temperature whereby the azeotrope of toluene and water is distilled off. After completion of the reaction, the mixture is cooled and washed with a dilute sodium bicarbonate solution and water. The organic phase is separated and freed from toluene whereby the oil N-[.beta.-(1,4dioxanyl-methoxycarbonyl)-ethyl]-.alpha.-naphthylamine is obtained.

8 Parts of crystallized sodium nitrite are slowly added under stirring at 60.degree. to 147 parts of concentrated sulphuric acid. The solution is cooled to 10.degree.-20.degree., 10 parts of glacial acetic acid are added thereto and, after further cooling to 0.degree.-5.degree., 26.2 parts of 2-bromo-4,6-dinitroaniline are added. The reaction mixture is set with a further 10 parts of glacial acetic acid and stirred for 3 hours at 0.degree.-5.degree., the excess nitrosyl sulphuric acid being eliminated with urea. The obtained diazonium salt solution is slowly added dropwise, with stirring, to a solution of 31.5 parts the N-(1,4-dioxanyl-.beta.-methoxycarbonylethyl)-.alpha.-naphthylamine in 100 parts of 3% hydrochloric acid cooled to 0.degree.-5.degree.. After coupling is complete the dyestuff is precipitated with 500 parts of ice water, stirred for 1 hour, filtered and washed free of acid. In order to improve the dyeing properties and the stability of the dispersions, the dyestuff is added to 100 parts of water, stirred for 3-5 hours at 90.degree., filtered again, washed with water and dried. The dyestuff dyes polyester fibres in blue shades.

In the following Table further dyestuffs, which can be prepared in analogous manner to the procedure given above, are given. The dye shade on polyester fibre is indicated in every case.
