The dyes of the formula (1) are prepared by diazotizing an amine of the formula

D--NH.sub.2 ( 32) and coupling the product onto a coupling component of the formula ##STR27## in which D, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and n are as defined under formula (1).

The amines of the formula (32) are known per se and can be prepared in analogy to known processes.

The coupling components of the formula (33) are prepared, for example, by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR28## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as defined under formula (1), with a compound of the formula ##STR29## in which X and Y are each an anionic leaving group and n is as defined under formula (1), to give a compound of the formula ##STR30## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and n are as defined under formula (1) and X is as defined under formula (35), and reacting the compound of the formula (36) by exchanging the radical X for a sulfo group to give a compound of the formula (33).

Examples of suitable X and Y in formula (35) are, independently of one another, halogen, for example fluorine, chlorine or bromine. X and Y are each in particular chlorine. Examples of compounds of the formula (35) are chloroacetyl chloride, 3-chloropropionyl chloride, 4-chlorobutyryl chloride and 5-valeryl chloride. Instead of the compound of the formula (35) the corresponding anhydrides, for example chloroacetic anhydride, can also be used.

The reaction of the compound of the formula (34) with the compound of the formula (35) can be carried out in water or organic solvents, for example tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or benzene, at temperatures of -10.degree. to 80.degree. C., in particular at temperatures of 0.degree. to 40.degree. C.

The introduction of the sulfo group into the compound of the formula (36) is effected by exchanging the radical X by a sulfo group, for example using Na.sub.2 SO.sub.3 in a solvent, for example water or a water/ethanol mixture, at temperatures of 60.degree. to 100.degree. C., in particular at temperatures of 85.degree. to 100.degree. C., in an acidic, neutral to alkaline pH, in particular a pH from 5 to 9.

In the case where mixtures of dyes are used in the process according to the invention, they can be prepared by mixing the individual dyes. This mixing process is carried out, for example, in suitable mills, for example ball and pinned disc mills, and in kneaders or mixers.

The mixtures of dyes can furthermore be prepared by spray-drying the aqueous dye mixtures.

The dyes used in the process according to the invention are present either in the form of their free sulfonic acid or preferably as their salts.

Examples of suitable salts are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or ammonium salts or the salts of an organic amine. Examples are the sodium salts, lithium salts, potassium salts or ammonium salts or the salt of triethanolamine.

The dyes used in the process according to the invention usually contain further additives, for example common salt or dextrine.

The process according to the invention for trichromatic dyeing or printing can be applied to the conventional dyeing and printing processes. The dyeing liquors or printing pastes can contain, apart from water and the dyes, further additives, for example wetting agents, antifoams, levelling agents or agents influencing the property of the textile material, for example fibre softeners, additives for fire-retardant finishing or soil-, water- and oil-repellent agents and water softeners and natural or synthetic thickeners, for example alginates and cellulose ethers.

The process according to the invention is suitable in particular for dyeing from short liquors, for example in the continuous dyeing process or the batchwise and continuous foam dyeing process.

The dyes used in the process according to the invention are distinguished in the trichromatic dyeing or printing by uniform colour build up, good attachment to the fibre, good constancy of shade even in different concentrations, good fastness properties, for example good resistance to formaldehyde, and in particular by very good compatibility.

The process according to the invention is suitable for the dyeing or printing not only of natural polyamide materials, for example wool, but also in particular of synthetic polyamide materials, for example nylon-6 or nylon-6,6 and is suitable for the dyeing or printing of wool or synthetic polyamide mixed fabrics or yarns.

The textile material mentioned can be present in a wide range of processing forms, for example as fibre, yarn, woven fabric or knitted fabric and in particular in the form of carpet.

In the examples which follow, parts are by weight. The temperatures are given in degrees centigrade. Parts by weight relate to parts by volume as the gram relates to the cubic centimeter.

EXAMPLE 1

10 parts of a nylon-6,6 fibre material (Helanca knitted fabric) are dyed in 500 parts of an aqueous liquor containing 2 g/l of ammonium acetate and being adjusted to a pH of 5 with acetic acid. 0.05% of the red dye which, in the form of the free acid, has the formula ##STR31## 0.18% of the yellow dye which, in the form of the free acid, has the formula ##STR32## and 0.17% of the blue dye which, in the form of the free acid, has the formula ##STR33## are used as dyes, the stated amounts being based on the weight of the fibre.

The dyeing time at a temperature of 98.degree. is 30 to 90 minutes. The dyed polyamide fibre material is then removed and rinsed and dried as usual to give a fabric dyed completely levelly in a brown hue and having no material-related streaks whatsoever.

EXAMPLE 2

10 parts of a nylon-6,6 yarn are dyed in 400 parts of an aqueous liquor which contains 1.5 g/l of ammonium acetate and has been adjusted to a pH of 5.5 with acetic acid are dyed. 0.1% of the dye which, in the form of the free acid, has the formula ##STR34## 0.13% of the dye of the formula (102) and 0.12% of the dye of the formula (103) are used as dyes, the stated amounts being based on the fibre weight. The dye bath is heated to 98.degree. C. over a period of 30 minutes and kept at 96.degree. to 98.degree. for 60 minutes. The dyed yarn is then removed and rinsed and dried as usual to give a yarn dyed in a brown hue.

EXAMPLE 3

10 parts of nylon-6,6 carpet yarn are dyed in 400 parts of an aqueous liquor which contains 1.5 g/l of ammonium acetate and has been adjusted to a pH of 5.5 with acetic acid. 0.15% of the red dye of the formula (101), 0.625% of the yellow dye which, in the form of the free acid, has the formula ##STR35## and 0.52% of the blue dye of the formula (103) are used as dyes, the stated amount being based on the fibre weight. The dye bath is heated to 98.degree. over a period of 30 minutes and kept at 96.degree. to 98.degree. for 60 minutes. The dyed yarn is then removed and rinsed and dried as usual to give a yarn dyed in a brown hue.

EXAMPLE 4

The procedure given in Example 3 is repeated, except that

0.32% of the dye of the formula (104), 0.46% of the dye of the formula (105) and 0.61% of the dye of the formula (103) are used instead of the dyes of the formulae (101), (105) and (103), to give likewise a yarn dyed in a brown hue.
