Acylamino radicals which may be present in the ring A are formylamino, acetylamino, propionylamino, benzoylamino, chlorobenzoylamino, methylbenzoylamino and methylchlorobenzoylamino.

A compound of the formula I may be prepared by

(a) condensing a compound of the formula ##STR8## with a compound of the formula ##STR9## or

(b) condensing a compound of the formula ##STR10## with a compound of the formula ##STR11##

The reactions are known in principle. Details may be found in the Examples, where parts and percentages are by weight, unless stated otherwise.

Compounds of particular importance are those of the formula I a ##STR12## where B, R, Y.sup.2, Y.sup.3 and Z have the above meanings and the ring A may be substituted by methyl, ethyl, methoxy or ethoxy.

Preferably, B is oxygen, Y.sup.2 is hydrogen, chlorine, methyl, methoxy or ethoxy, Y.sup.3 is hydrogen, chlorine or methyl, Z is hydroxyl and R is --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --C.sub.3 H.sub.7 or --C.sub.4 H.sub.9.

The compounds of the formula I are yellow to red and are suitable as dyes for dyeing textiles consisting of natural or synthetic fibers, especially polyesters. The dyeings obtained have excellent fastness characteristics, amongst which the lightfastness, fastness to thermofixing and wetfastness may be singled out.

Some of the dyes are also suitable for the mass coloring of thermoplastics and some for the process described in German Patent 1,811,796.

EXAMPLE 1

6.9 parts of 1-imino-3-(4'-hydroxycoumarin-3'-yl)isoindoline and 4.3 parts of 1-methyl-2-cyanomethylbenzimidazole in 50 parts by volume of glacial acetic acid are heated very rapidly to the reflux temperature and stirred thereat for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is then cooled and the dye which has precipitated is filtered off and washed with methanol. 6.5 parts of the dye of the formula ##STR13## are obtained, having a melting point of 265.degree.-267.degree. C.

EXAMPLE 2

3.9 parts of the monocondensation product of 1,3-diimino-isoindoline and 1-methyl-2-cyanomethyl-benzimidazole are stirred with 2.1 parts of 4-hydroxycoumarin in 30 parts by volume of acetic acid and 10 parts by volume of acetic anhydride for 30 minutes at 100.degree. C. The reaction mixture is cooled and the dye which has precipitated is filtered off and washed with methanol. 4.5 parts of a compound which is identical with the dye from Example 1 and has a melting point of 270.degree.-274.degree. C. are obtained.

EXAMPLE 3

4.8 parts of 1-methyl-2-cyanomethyl-benzimidazole are added to 5.8 parts of 1,3-diiminoisoindoline in 30 parts by volume of dimethylformamide at room temperature. The reaction mixture is then stirred for 4 hours at room temperature. Thereafter, 4.5 parts of 4-hydroxycoumarin and 3 parts by volume of acetic anhydride are added and the reaction mixture is heated at 100.degree. C. After 30 minutes, it is cooled and the dye which has precipitated is filtered off and washed with methanol. 9.9 parts of a dye which is identical with the dye from Example 1 and has a melting point of 268.degree.-273.degree. C. are obtained.

The Table which follows lists further dyes of the formula ##STR14## which are obtained from the corresponding starting materials by following a method similar to Example 1, 2 or 3.
