Some of the dyes are also suitable for dyeing mixtures of cellulose and polyesters, for example by the method known as the DYBLN method. The dyes are also valuable in respect of their tintorial properties such as leveling power and build-up.

EXAMPLE 11

14 parts of the dye of the formula: ##STR33## 15 parts of isatoic anhydride and 1 part of potassium carbonate are boiled for three hours in 75 parts of ethylene chloride. 250 parts of methanol is added at ambient temperature and the dye is isolated as in Example 10.

19 parts of the dye of the formula ##STR34## is obtained. It dyes polyester fibers golden yellow hues.

EXAMPLE 12

14 parts of the dye of the formula: ##STR35## 7 parts of isatoic anhydride and 1 part of potassium carbonate are boiled for 2.5 hours in 75 parts of ethylene chloride. 20 parts of methanol is added at 0.degree. C. and the dye is isolated as in Example 10. 16 parts of the dye of the formula: ##STR36## is obtained. It contains small amounts of starting product and doubly esterified product (cf. Example 11) and dyes polyester fibers golden yellow hues.

EXAMPLE 13

28 parts of the dye of the formula ##STR37## 15 parts of isatoic anhydride and 1 part of potassium carbonate are stirred in 170 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide at 90.degree. to 95.degree. C. for three hours. The whole is diluted with 160 parts of methanol at ambient temperature and the dye is isolated as in Example 10. 26 parts of the dye of the formula ##STR38## is obtained which gives red dyeings having good fastness properties on polyester fibers.

EXAMPLE 14

21 parts of the dye of the formula: ##STR39## 15 parts of isatoic anhydride and 0.5 part of potassium carbonate are boiled in 60 parts of glycol dimethyl ether for nine hours. The whole is diluted with 40 parts of methanol at ambient temperature and the dye is isolated as in Example 10. 20 parts of the dye of the formula: ##STR40## is obtained. It gives blue dyeings on polyester fibers.

EXAMPLE 15

22 parts of the dye of the formula: ##STR41## 14 parts of 6-chloro-8-nitroisatoic anhydride and 0.5 part of potassium carbonate are boiled for 2.5 hours in 75 parts of ethylene chloride and 15 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide. After 40 parts of methanol has been added the dye is isolated as in Example 10. 26 parts of the dye of the formula: ##STR42## is obtained. It dyes polyester fibers bluish black.

EXAMPLE 16

33 parts of the dye of the formula: ##STR43## 15 parts of isatoic anhydride and 1 part of potassium carbonate is stirred in 100 parts of N,N-dimethylformamdide for 2.5 hours at 80.degree. C. 12.5 parts of copper(I) cyanide (70%) is added at 60.degree. C. and the whole is stirred at this temperature for five hours. 80 parts of methanol is added at ambient temperature and the dye is then filtered off, washed with methanol, 10% ammonia solution and water and dried in vacuo. 32 parts of the dye of the formula: ##STR44## is obtained. It dyes polyester fibers bluish violet hues. The same dye is also obtained when the esterification and exchange reactions are carried out in the reverse sequence or simultaneously or when the corresponding 2,6-dibromo dye is used as starting material.

According to the same methods it is possible to prepare from the dye of the formula: ##STR45## the corresponding cyano compound with which neutral blue dyeings having excellent fastness properties is obtained.

The dyes set out in Tables 4 and 5 are prepared analogously to Examples 9to 15.

a. Production of the N-methylisatoic anhydride:

81.5 parts of isatoic anhydride are dissolved in 500 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide and 212 parts of anhydrous sodium carbonate is added.

Then at 10.degree. C. while cooling

126 parts of dimethyl sulfate is dripped in. The whole is stirred for three hours at 10.degree. C., fifteen minutes at from 50.degree. to 60.degree. C. and then cooled again. The suspension is stirred slowly into a solution of 280 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid in 2000 parts of water. The product deposited is immediately isolated, washed until neutral with 1000 parts of water and dried at subatmospheric pressure. 75 parts of N-methylisatoic anhydride is obtained.

The following N-alkylisatoic anhydrides are obtained analogously to (a):
