After 32.8 parts of anhydrous sodium acetate have been introduced, 27.9 parts of 3-chloropropionyl chloride are added dropwise in the course of 90 minutes at such a rate that the internal temperature does not exceed 30.degree.. Stirring is continued for a further 30 minutes, 70 parts of water are added and the organic phase is then separated off in a separating funnel. The organic phase is dried briefly over sodium sulfate and is then concentrated on a rotary evaporator. This gives 50 parts of a slightly brownish liquid which can be used in this form for the next section of the synthesis. The resulting compound has the formula ##STR10## 50 parts of the compound of the formula (102) are stirred with 150 parts of water for 10 minutes. The pH is adjusted to 7 at 20.degree., 27.7 parts of sodium sulfite are added and the mixture is stirred for 12 hours at 90.degree.-95.degree.. The water is then removed on a rotary evaporator, and the residue is stirred into 200 parts of acetone at approx. 20.degree.. The mixture is then stirred briefly and the product is filtered off, rinsed with a little acetone and dried at 50.degree. in a vacuum drying cabinet. 76 parts of a colourless powder are obtained. The resulting compound has the formula (101).
If the procedure described is repeated, using an equimolar amount of one of the amines indicated in column 2 of Table 1 below instead of the 32.8 parts of 3-diethylaminoaniline and using an equimolar amount of one of the acylating agents indicated in column 3 of Table 1 below instead of the 27.9 parts of 3-chloropropionyl chloride, after reacting the mixture with Na.sub.2 SO.sub.3 for reaction times between 2 and 16 hours and at temperatures between 80.degree. and 95.degree., the products indicated in column 4 are obtained.

EXAMPLE 6 ##STR23## 12 parts of isopropanol and 12 parts of water are initially taken at approx. 10.degree.. After the mixture has been cooled to 5.degree., 2.03 parts of aniline-o-sulfonic acid N-methyl-N-cyclohexylamide and 4.5 parts of 32% HCl are added successively. Diazotization is then carried out at an internal temperature of 0.degree. to 2.degree. by means of 0.55 part of sodium nitrite in 3 parts of water, and stirring is continued for 3 hours at 2.degree. to 3.degree.. 1 part of sulfamic acid is then added, the mixture is stirred for a further 2 minutes and 3.9 parts of N-.beta.-sulfopropionylamido-3-N,N-diethylaminobenzene are sprinkled in the course of approx. 1 minute. 4 parts of sodium acetate are added in 3 portions in the course of 15 minutes and stirring is continued for 3 hours at 0.degree. to 5.degree.. A solution consisting of 4 parts of sodium acetate, 2 parts of sodium carbonate and 20 parts of water is then added dropwise in the course of 30 minutes, and the product is then filtered off with suction. Drying is carried out in vacuo at 50.degree.. This gives 2 parts of a red substance which, in the form of free acid, has the formula (107) and which dyes polyamide in orange-red shades.
If the procedure described is repeated, but using an equimolar amount of one of the amines indicated in column 2 of Table 2 below as the diazo component and using an equimolar amount of one of the coupling components indicated, in the form of the free acids, in column 3 of Table 2 below as the coupling component, dyes which dye synthetic polyamide in the shade indicated in column 4 of Table 2 below are obtained.

EXAMPLE 37 ##STR84## 19 parts of glacial acetic acid and 9 parts of 32% hydrochloric acid are initially taken at 10.degree., with stirring. 1.98 parts of 2-amino-3,5-dicarboethoxy-4-methylthiophene are then introduced, and the mixture is cooled to 0.degree.. Diazotization is then carried out at 0.degree. to 2.degree. by means of 0.55 part of NaNO.sub.2 in 3 parts of water and stirring is continued for 15 minutes. The excess of nitrite is destroyed by means of 1 part of sulfamic acid, and 8.9 parts of N-.beta.-sulfopropionylamido-3-N,N-diethylaminobenzene are sprinkled in in the course of approx. 1 minute. 16 parts of sodium acetate are then added in 4 portions in the course of 15 minutes and stirring is continued at 0.degree. to 2.degree. for a further 30 minutes. A solution consisting of 4 parts of sodium acetate, 2 parts of sodium carbonate and 20 parts of water is then added dropwise in the course of a further 30 minutes. The dye is filtered off at room temperature, rinsed with 50 parts of 10% aqueous NaCl solution and dried at 50.degree. in a vacuum cabinet. This gives 3.5 parts of a dark powder which dyes synthetic polyamide in violet shades. In the form of the free acid, the dye has the formula (111).
If the procedure described is repeated, but using an equimolar amount of one of the amines indicated in column 2 of Table 3 below as the diazo component, and using one of the coupling components indicated in the form of free acids in column 3 in Table 3 below as the coupling component, dyes which dye synthetic polyamide in the shade indicated in column 4 of Table 3 below are obtained.
