EXAMPLE 1
A neutral hot solution of 70.degree.-80.degree. C. of 28 parts of 4-aminoazobenzene-4'-sulfonic acid in 500 parts of water is run simultaneously with 26 parts of an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite (4N) into a mixture of 28 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid in 200 parts of water, while keeping the temperature of the reaction mixture at 20.degree.-25.degree. C. by addition of ice. Upon completion of the addition, the reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hours and eccess nitrite is destroyed with a small amount of amidosulfonic acid. The diazotisation mixture is slowly run into a cold solution of 0.degree.-5.degree. C. of 14 parts of 2,4-hexanedione and 180 parts of sodium acetate in 500 parts of water. After stirring for several hours at 0.degree.-5.degree. C., the batch is warmed to 30.degree. C. to bring the reaction to completion and adjusted with sodium acetate to pH 5.5. The precipitate is thereafter filtered with suction and dried at 60.degree. C., giving 30 parts of an orange powder.
8 parts of the reaction product obtained above are suspended at room temperature in 50 parts of glacial acetic acid and 20 parts of water. With stirring, 1.5 parts of hydrazine hydrate are added all at once. The reaction mixture is slowly heated to 100.degree. C. and stirred until no more educt can be detected by thin-layer chromatography. After cooling to room temperature, the dye is precipitated with hydrochloric acid (2N). The precipitate is isolated by filtration, washed with a small amount of water and dried at 80.degree. C., giving 7 parts of a dye which, in the form of the free acid, is the compound of formula ##STR20##

EXAMPLES 114-117
The procedure of Example 1 is repeated, using in place of 28 parts of 4-aminoazobenzene-4'-sulfonic acid an equimolar amount of an azo compound listed in Table 2, column 2, to give the dyes in the form of the free acid listed in column 3 which dye synthetic and natural polyamide materials in yellow shades.

Azo compound Dye__________________________________________________________________________114 ##STR24## ##STR25##115 ##STR26## ##STR27##116 ##STR28## ##STR29##117 ##STR30## ##STR31##__________________________________________________________________________
EXAMPLE 118
The procedure of Example 114 is repeated, using in place of 14 parts of 2,4-hexanedione an equimolar amount of 3,5-heptanedione, to give the dye of formula ##STR32## which dyes synthetic and natural polyamide materials in yellow shades.
DYEING EXAMPLE 1
10 parts of polyamide 66 material (Helanca tricot) are dyed in 500 parts of an aqueous liquor which contains 2 g/l of ammonium acetate and is adjusted with acetic acid to pH 5. The material is dyed with 0.05% of the red dye which, in the form of the free acid, has the formula ##STR33## 0.18% of the yellow dye which, in the form of the free acid, has the formula (101), and 0.17% of the blue dye which, in the form of the free acid, has the formula ##STR34## the percentages being based on the weight of the fabric.
The dyeing time at a temperature of 98.degree. C. is 30-90 minutes. The dyed polyamide material is then removed from the bath and rinsed and dried in conventional manner. The material is dyed in a completely level brown shade which is entirely free from barriness caused by the physical properties of the material.
DYEING EXAMPLE 2
10 parts of polyamide 66 yarn are dyed in 400 parts of an aqueous liquor which contains 1.5 g/l of ammonium acetate and is adjusted with acetic acid to pH 5.5. The material is dyed with 0.1% of the dye of formula (102), 0.13% of the dye of formula (101) and 0.12% of the dye of formula (103), the percentages being based on the weight of the material. The dyebath is heated over 30 minutes to 98.degree. C. and kept at 96.degree.-98.degree. C. for 60 minutes. The yarn is dyed in a brown shade.
DYEING EXAMPLE 3
10 parts of polyamide 66 carpet yarn are dyed in 400 parts of an aqueous liquor which contains 1.5 g/l of ammonium acetate and is adjusted with acetic acid to pH 5.5. The material is dyed with 0.15% of the red dye of formula ##STR35## 0.625% of the yellow dye of formula (101) and 0.52% of the blue dye of formula (103), the percentages being based on the weight of the material. The dyebath is heated over 30 minutes to 98.degree. C. and kept at 96.degree.-98.degree. C. for 60 minutes. The dyed yarn is then removed from the bath and rinsed and dyed in conventional manner. The yarn is dyed in a brown shade.
DYEING EXAMPLE 4
The procedure of Dyeing Example 3 is repeated, using in place of the dyes of formulae (104), (101) and (103)
0.32% of the dye of formula (102),
0.46% of the dye of formula (101) and
0.61% of the dye of formula (103) to give also yarn which is dyed in a brown shade.
DYEING EXAMPLE 5: (CARPET PRINTING)
A polyamide 6 velours carpet having a pile weight of 400 g/m.sup.2 is padded for dyeing in a ground shade to a pick-up of 80% with an aqueous padding liquor of the following composition:
0.1 g/l of the dye of formula (101),
0.1 g/l of the dye of formula (103),
2 g/l of a thickener based on natural polysaccharides,
0.5 g/l of a wetting agent based on a sulfated alkylaryl polyglycolate, and
0.5 g/l of an antifoam based on high-boiling alcohols.
The liquor is adjusted with acetic acid to pH 4.5. A pattern is applied to the pretreated carpet with a printing screen using a print paste of the following composition:
1 g/l of the dye of formula (101),
20 g/l of the dye of formula (102),
10 g/l of the dye of formula (103),
15 g/l of a thickener based on natural polysaccharides,
2 g/l of a wetting agent based on a sulfated alkylaryl polyglycolate,
1 g/l of an antifoam based on high-boiling alcohols.
The print paste is adjusted with acetic acid to pH 4.5
The printed material is subsequently treated with saturated steam of 101.degree. C. to fix the dyes, rinsed, neutralised, rinsed once more and dried.
The velours carpet is dyed in a bordeaux pattern on a pale olive ground with very sharp contours. The dyeing has good penetration and exhibits no frosting.
DYEING EXAMPLE 6: (CONTINUOUS CARPET DYEING)
2.7 parts of the yellow dye of formula (101), 1.2 parts of the red dye of formula (102) and 1.3 parts of the blue dye of formula (103) are dissolved by brief boiling in 100 parts of water. This solution is then added to a solution comprising 3 parts of a thickener based on locust bean gum, 5.0 parts of a coacervate forming padding auxiliary based on a condensate of a higher molecular weight fatty acid with an oxyalkylamine, 2.0 parts of crystalline monosodium phosphate, and 1.0 part of crystalline disodium phosphate in 500 parts of cold water. The liquor is then bulked with cold water to 1000 parts. Then 300% of this liquor, which has a pH of 5.5-6.5, based on the weight of the carpet, is applied to an undyed polyamide 66 tufted carpet at a carpet speed of 8 meters per minute. The impregnated carpet passes into a festoon steamer, where it is treated for 10 minutes with saturated steam of 98.degree.-100.degree. C.
The carpet is thereafter washed in an open-width washing machine. It is dyed in a neutral brown shade.
DYEING EXAMPLE 7
The procedure of Example 6 is repeated, using in place of 1.2 parts of the yellow dye of formula (101) 1.2 parts of the yellow dye of Example 2 or 1.2 parts of the yellow dye of Example 114, to give a carpet which is dyed in a brown shade.
