It is also clearly possible to employ compounds of formula Ia which are substituted by the SO.sub.3 H group, such as the diamine of the formula: ##STR102##
Such intermediates are known or may be prepared in conventional manner from known starting materials.
The coupling reaction may be effected in conventional manner. It is preferred to effect a first coupling in water at a pH of 6 to 8 and temperatures from -10.degree. to +20.degree. C, more preferably at 5.degree. to 10.degree. and suitably in the presence of a coupling accelerator like pyridine, urea, etc. The coupling of the resulting compound with the second coupling component is also effected in water usually, at at a pH from 9 to 12, preferably between 10 and 11, at temperatures from -10.degree. to +20.degree. C, preferably from 10.degree. to 20.degree.. The usual coupling accelerators may be used for this coupling reaction too.
Acylation or tosylating is also effected in conventional manner and may be effected in water at at a pH of 8 - 10, preferably around 9, and at temperatures from 30.degree. to 80.degree. C, e.g. around 50.degree. C, working preferably in the presence of sodium carbonate or disodium phosphate. A neutral solvent may be added too, such as dichlorobenzene.
Etherification, e.g. with dimethyl or diethyl sulphate, is effected mainly in water with a pH- of 8 to 10 and temperatures of 30.degree. to 80.degree. C, preferably 40.degree. - 60.degree. C and in the presence of, for instance, sodium or potassium carbonate or bicarbonate.
The introduction of a reactive component, i.e. transposition of the hydrogen atom of a free --OH or free amino group with the halogen atom or a sulphate group of a reactive component, can likewise be effected in water with a pH- of 5 to 7 and at temperatures from 20.degree. to 40.degree. C, chiefly in the presence of sodium acetate or sodium bicarbonate.
Metallization is generally performed in water at a pH- of 9 to 12 and at temperatures from 40.degree. C to boiling point, preferably at 50.degree. - 80.degree. C and in the presence of sodium hydroxide. Metallization is preferably effected with metal-donating agents, such as those donating chromium, iron, cobalt, copper, manganese or nickel. Copper-donating compounds include, for example, copper acetate, chloride and formate; nickel-donating compounds include nickel formate, acetate and sulphate; chromium-donating compounds are chromium trioxide, fluoride, sulphate, formate, and acetate and, chromium ammonium sulphate; sodium chromate or bichromate may be employed as well. Typical manganese-, cobalt- or iron-donating compounds are manganese, cobalt or iron formate, acetate or sulphate.
The compounds are highly coloured and are indicated for dyeing or printing natural or synthetic polyamides, like wool, silk and nylon, cotton, mordanted cotton, cellulosic fibres or regenerated cellulose fibres, basically modified polypropylene fibres, synthetic polyamides or polyesters modified by acid groups, as well as paper and leather. The polyazo compounds are particularly indicated for dyeing or printing leather.
The anionic compounds of formula I and their metal complexes have generally good light- and wet-fastness on the substrates named above, also good fastness to washing, milling and potting, water, perspiration, abrasion and sea water. The substrates are dyed in brilliant, level tones with good migration. They have a good neutral affinity and build-up capability, and cover stripily dyeing nylon fabric. They have good substantivity on cotton and paper. In addition they have good fastness to solvents, acids and alkalis.
Natural and synthetic polyamides and cellulose fibres dyed with the compounds of formula I which are reactive dyestuffs, possess good light-fastness and good resistance to water, sea water, milling and perspiration. Their fixation capacity is also very good.
The compounds may be used for dyeing or printing using methods conventional for the broad class of dyestuff and appropriate for the particular substrate.
An important group of dyestuffs - the so-called benzidine dyestuffs, i.e. those derived from benzidine - has been withdrawn from the market because of the danger to health, or the cessation of the production of these dyestuffs is being considered. Consequently, there is a real need to replace this valuable group of dyestuffs by others of similar type and shading. The compounds of the present invention are not derived from benzidine, and it is thought that their production will be less dangerous.
In the examples that follow, the parts are parts by weight, the percentages are percentages by weight, and the temperatures are given in degrees Centigrade.





EXAMPLE 1
19.8 parts of 3,8-diaminodibenzofuran are suspended in 150 parts water and 25 parts hydrochloric acid at 0.degree. - 2.degree.. Then a solution consisting of 14 parts sodium nitrate in 60 parts water is dropped into the suspension, keeping the temperature between 0.degree. and 5.degree..
After 30 minutes a solution consisting of 22.4 parts 2-hydroxynaphthalene-8-sulphonic acid, 8 parts sodium carbonate and 200 parts water is dropped into the tetrazo solution. The coupling mass is stirred for 2 hours at 0.degree. - 5.degree.. After this a solution consisting of 25.4 parts 1-(4'-sulfophenyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone, 30 parts of a 30% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and 100 parts water is added to the coupling mass. The coupling mixture is stirred for 4 hours, during which the temperature may be allowed to rise to room temperature. The pH of the suspension is adjusted to 7, after which the dyestuff precipitated is removed by suction, washed with an aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried at 100.degree.. The dyestuff will dye natural and synthetic polyamides from neutral to weakly acid bath to a pure orange shade with good wet- and light-fastness. The dyestuff of the formula: ##STR103## will also dye cotton, paper and leather with good fastnesses.
EXAMPLE 2
If the tetrazotized 3,8-diaminodibenzofuran is coupled first onto 1-(4'-sulfophenyl)-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and then onto 2-hydroxynaphthalene-8-sulphonic acid under the reaction conditions described in Example 1, an isomer dyestuff is obtained with the formula: ##STR104##
The dyestuff will dye natural and synthetic polyamide from neutral to weakly acid bath to a pure scarlet tone with the same good wet- and light-fastness as the dyestuff described in Example 1.

EXAMPLE 174
If in Example 165, p-cresol is used as second coupling component instead of phenol, the disazo dyestuff can no longer be tosylated. It is however possible to treat the resulting disazo dyestuff under the same conditions as in Example 165, though with twice the quantity of sodium acetate, copper sulphate and hydrogen peroxide. The dyestuff obtained with the formula: ##STR181## will dye polyamide and cellulose fibers to navy blue shades.
The following examples can be produced in similar manner to that described under Example 165.
