In place of the azo dye radicals, the dyes of the formula I can also contain corresponding metal complex azo dye radicals. Suitable complexing metals in this case are, in particular, copper, cobalt, chromium, nickel or iron, with copper, cobalt or chromium being preferred.

In this case, the metallized groups are in each case preferably in the position ortho to the azo group, eg. in the form of o,o'-dihydroxy-, o-hydroxy-o'-carboxy-, o-carboxy-o'-amino- or o-hydroxy-o'-amino-azo groups.

W in formula I is furthermore, for example, the radical of a metallized formazan dye, particular mention being made of copper formazans. Copper formazans are known and are described, for example, in K. Venkataraman "The Chemistry of Synthetic Dyes", Vol. III, Academic Press, New York, London, 1970.

Particularly preferred copper formazan dyes are those of the formula XIX ##STR26## where cat.sup..sym. is the equivalent of a cation,

Examples of substituted ammonium cations are monoalkyl-, dialkyl-, trialkyl-, tetraalkyl- or benzyltrialkylammonium cations or cations derived from nitrogen-containing five- or six-membered saturated heterocycles, such as pyrrolidinium, piperidinium, morpholinium or piperazinium cations or their N-monoalkyl- or N,N-dialkyl-substituted products. In this connection, alkyl generally means straight-chain or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 -alkyl, which can be substituted by 1 or 2 hydroxyl groups and/or interrupted by 1 to 4 oxygen atoms in ether functionality.

Cations to be particularly emphasized are protons or lithium, sodium or potassium ions, and said metal cations are also preferred cations when the reactive dyes XIX are in salt form.

A method for preparing the formazans on which these dyes are based is described, for example in EP-A-315 046.

W in formula I is, furthermore, for example the radical of an anthraquinone dye. Anthraquinones are known and are described, for example, in K. Venkataraman "The Chemistry of Synthetic Dyes", Vol. II, Academic Press, New York, 1952.

W in formula I is, furthermore, for example the radical of a triphendioxazine dye. Triphendioxazines are known and are described, for example, in EP-A 141 359 or EP-A 311 969.

W in formula I is furthermore, for example, the radical of a metallized phthalocyanine dye. Phthalocyanines are known and are described, for example, in F. H. Moser, D. L. Thomas "The Phthalocyanines", Vol. II, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla., 1983.

Particularly preferred phthalocyanine dyes are those of the formula XXII ##STR29## where Pc is the phthalocyanine radical,

G.sup.13 and G.sup.14 are each, independently of one another, hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, F.sup.8 is imino or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylimino, Me is copper or nickel, g is 0, 1 or 2, h is 0, 1 or 2 and i is 1 or 2, and E has the abovementioned meanings.

The novel reaction dyes of the formula I can be prepared by conventional methods.

For example, a suitable dye of the formula XXIII

W.sup.1 --G.sup.15, (XXIII) where W.sup.1 is the radical of a chromophore which may have further reactive groups and is derived from a mono- or disazo dye which may be metallized, a triphendioxazine, an anthraquinone, a metallized formazan or a metallized phthalocyanine, and G.sup.15 is a radical of the formula NHZ.sup.3, COHal or SO.sub.2 Hal where Z.sup.3 and Hal each have the abovementioned meanings, can be reacted with a fiber-reactive compound of the formula XXIV G.sup.15 --E, (XXIV) where G.sup.15 and E each have the abovementioned meanings.

When L.sup.1 (case 1) is a urea bridge or a triazine radical, synthetic steps customary for these classes of substances are inserted.

It is also possible to start from intermediates of compounds of the formula XXIII which do not yet have a chromophore radical and first to react these with the fiber-reactive compound XXIV and then to assemble the chromophore radical W.sup.1.

When the radical W is a coupling component, the dyes according to the invention are obtained by, for example, diazotizing the fiber-reactive compound of the formula XXV

H.sub.2 N--E, (XXV) where E has the abovementioned meaning, in a conventional way and coupling to a coupling component of the formula XXVI W.sup.2 --H (XXVI) where W.sup.2 is the radical of a coupling component to which the radical of a diazo component may additionally be linked via an azo bridge and which may have additional reactive groups.

When b in formula I has the value 1, the doubled chromophores can be obtained, for example, by either doubling the finished individual chromophores or else initially doubling suitable intermediates and then assembling the particular chromophore systems.

The preparation of the fiber-reactive compounds of the formulae XXIV and XXV is known and is described, for example, in EP-A 680 951.

The present invention further relates to sulfur compounds of the formula XXVII ##STR30## where the Z.sup.1 radicals are each, independently of one another, hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy, halogen, nitro, amino, hydroxysulfonyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxycarbonyl, carbamoyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -mono- or dialkylcarbamoyl,

A is methylene, carbonyl, sulfonyl or a radical of the formula CH.sub.2 --CO or CH.sub.2 --SO.sub.2 where the methylene group is linked in each case to the benzene ring, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are each, independently of one another, C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -alkylene and Y is vinyl or a radical of the formula C.sub.2 H.sub.4 OH or C.sub.2 H.sub.4 Q, where Q is a group which can be eliminated under alkaline conditions.

Preferred sulfur compounds of the formula XXVII are those where A is methylene, carbonyl or the radical of the formula CH.sub.2 --CO.

Further preferred sulfur compounds of the formula XXVII are those where X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are each C.sub.2 - or C.sub.3 -alkylene, in particular each C.sub.2 -alkylene.

Further preferred sulfur compounds of the formula XXVII are those where one radical Z.sup.1 is hydrogen or amino and the other is hydrogen.

Particularly preferred sulfur compounds of the formula XXVII are those where one radical Z.sup.1 is amino and the other is hydrogen.

Further particularly preferred sulfur compounds of the formula XXVII are those where A is methylene.

The novel sulfur compounds of the formula XXVII can be obtained in a conventional way. For example, a benzene derivative of the formula XXVIII ##STR31## where Z.sup.1 and A each have the abovementioned meanings, can be reacted with an amine of the formula XXIX

H.sub.2 N--X.sup.1 --O--X.sup.2 --SO.sub.2 --Y, (XXIX) where X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 and Y each have the abovementioned meanings.

It is advantageous initially to react the benzene derivatives of the formula XXVIII with a thioether of the formula XXIXa

H.sub.2 N--X.sup.1 --O--X.sup.2 --S--Y, (XXIXa) where X.sup.1, X.sup.2 and Y each have the abovementioned meanings, and subsequently to oxidize the sulfide to the sulfonyl group, eg. with hydrogen peroxide.

The Z.sup.1 radicals can, when they differ from hydrogen, also be introduced subsequently into the benzene ring in a conventional way. This is the preferred route in particular for introduction of the hydroxysulfonyl group or the nitro group, which can subsequently be reduced to the amino group.

The novel sulfur compounds of the formula XXVII are valuable intermediates for preparing dyes, especially the reactive dyes defined herein.

The novel reactive dyes of the formula I are advantageously suitable for dyeing or printing organic substrates having hydroxyl groups or nitrogen atoms. Examples of such substrates are leather or fiber material which predominantly comprises natural or synthetic polyamides or natural or regenerated cellulose. The novel dyes are preferably suitable for dyeing and printing textile material based on wool or, in particular, cotton.

Intense dyeings with very high fixation yields are obtained in particular on cellulose-based substrates, and these have very good light fastness and excellent wet fastness properties such as washing, chlorine bleach, peroxide bleach, alkali, sea water or sweat fastness properties.

The following examples are intended to explain the invention in detail.

EXAMPLE 1

a) 94 g of cyanuric chloride were dispersed in a mixture of 400 ml of ice-water, 1 ml of 30% by weight hydrochloric acid and 0.5 g of a dispersant and, at 0-5.degree. C., a solution of 126 g of aniline-2,5-disulfonic acid in 250 ml of water and 35 ml of 50% by weight sodium hydroxide solution were added. After stirring at 0-5.degree. C. and pH 4-5, which was maintained with 47 g of sodium bicarbonate, for 4 hours, the reaction was complete and the mixture was filtered to clarify.

A solution of 170 g of 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid (monosodium salt) in 500 ml of water and 25 ml of 50% by weight sodium hydroxide solution were run into the filtrate while maintaining the pH at 4.5-5 with sodium bicarbonate without further cooling. After stirring at room temperature overnight, the condensate was precipitated with 600 g of sodium chloride, filtered off with suction, washed with 20% by weight brine and dried at 50.degree. C. under reduced pressure.

b) 18.2 g of the anchor compound of the formula ##STR32## were dissolved in 200 ml of water with 4 g of sodium bicarbonate at pH 4.4. After cooling with 150 g of ice, 18 ml of 30% by weight hydrochloric acid were added, and diazotization was carried out by dropwise addition of 15 ml of 3.33 N aqueous sodium nitrite solution. After stirring at 0-5.degree. C. for 30 minutes, a slight excess of nitrite was removed with sulfamic acid, and a solution of 52 g of the compound described in a) (purity: 95%; sodium chloride content: 20%) in 200 ml of water was added to the mixture. Coupling took place by dropwise addition of an aqueous sodium acetate solution until the pH was 5.

Precipitation with 200 g of potassium chloride, filtration with suction and drying resulted in the dye of the formula ##STR33## being isolated as pentasodium salt. It dyes cotton either by the exhaust process at 40-60.degree. C. or by the cold pad-batch process at room temperature in bluish red hues. The dyeings are distinguished by very good general use fastness properties and high degrees of fixation and are very insensitive to fluctuations in the dyeing temperature.
