To prepare the thienothiophene dye of the formula I, a thienothiophene of the formula II ##STR9## where X, Y and Z each have the abovementioned meanings, can be diazotized and reacted with a coupling component of the formula III

HK (III) where K has the abovementioned meanings, in a conventional manner. Details of the preparation are revealed in the Examples.

The thienothiophene of the formula II can be obtained for example by reacting a thiophene of the formula IV ##STR10## where Z has the abovementioned meanings, with a mercaptan of the formula V

A--CH.sub.2 --SH (V) where A is an electron-attracting radical.

The thienothiophene of the formula II were X is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or bromine can be obtained by further reaction from the compound of the formula VI ##STR11## where A and Z each have the abovementioned meanings. In the same way, the thienothiophene of the formula II where Y is not hydrogen can be prepared by introducing chlorine or bromine into a compound of the formula VI.

Furthermore, to prepare the thienothiophene dye of the formula I it is also possible to react a thiophene dye of the formula VII ##STR12## where K and Z each have the abovementioned meaning and Hal is halogen with a mercaptan (V). Details can again be found in the Examples.

In those compounds of the formulae I and II where X is formyl, this formyl group can be further reacted in a conventional manner. Possibilities are for example the condensation with hydroxylamine and, if desired, an acylation on the oxygen to form a nitrile or the reaction with phenylhydrazine or with an active methyl compound by Knoevenagel or Perkin.

The thienothiophene dye according to the invention is highly suitable for dyeing synthetic fibers, preferably polyesters and nylons, and blend fabrics of polyesters and cellulose fibers or cellulose esters. The dyeings obtained have good fastness properties, in particular on polyester.

Given a suitable structure, the dye may also be dischargeable under alkaline and/or reducing conditions in a conventional manner.

EXAMPLE 106

0.57 part of p-dithiane-2,5-diol and 0.7 part of potassium carbonate were added to 2.08 parts of 4-chloro-3-cyano-5-formyl-2-(4'-N,N-dibutylamino-2'-methylphenylazo)thiophene in 50 parts by volume of N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture was stirred at 50.degree. C. under N.sub.2 for 4 hours and then poured onto 500 parts of water. The dye was salted out with NaCl, filtered with suction and washed with water. This gave 1.8 parts of the dye of the formula ##STR36## which dyes polyester fibers in blue, fast shades.

EXAMPLE 107

1.35 parts of 30% strength methanolic sodium methylate solution and 0.9 part of ethyl mercaptoacetate were added to 2.3 parts of 4-chloro-3-cyano-5-formyl-2-(4'-N,N-dibutylamino-2'-acetylaminophenylazo)thiophene in 60 parts by volume of methanol and 50 parts by volume of N,N-dimethylformamide. The mixture was stirred at 25.degree. C. for 10 hours and then at 50.degree. C. for 2 hours and was then discharged onto 500 parts of water. The product was salted out with NaCl, filtered off with suction and washed with water. This gave 2.5 parts of the dye described in Example 58.

EXAMPLE 108

1.75 parts of the dye described in Example 106 were stirred at 25.degree. C. with 0.9 part of ethyl cyanoacetate in 70 parts by volume of dioxane, 0.5 part by volume of glacial acetic acid and 0.5 part by volume of piperidine for 24 hours. 25 parts of water and 25 parts of ice were then added. After 15 minutes of stirring, the product was filtered off with suction and washed until neutral. Drying under reduced pressure at 40.degree. C. left 1.7 parts of the dye of the formula ##STR37## which dyes polyester fibers in greenish blue shades.

Table 4 lists dyes of the formula ##STR38## which can be obtained in a similar manner.
