A class of dispersible phenyl-azo-aniline dyestuffs corresponding to the formula ##STR1## wherein A is phenyl substituted by halogen, cyano, nitro, lower alkylsulphonyl, lower alkoxycarbonyl, di-lower-alkyl-carbamoyl or di-lower-alkyl-sulfamoyl,

Method of dyeing with dispersible azo anilino dyestuffs

A class of dispersible phenyl-azo-aniline dyestuffs corresponding to the formula ##SPC1## Wherein A is phenyl substituted by halogen, cyano, nitro, lower akylsulphonyl, lower alkoxycarbonyl, di-lower-alkyl-carbamoyl or di-lower-alkyl-sulfamoyl, X is hydrogen, lower alkyl or lower alkanoylamino, Y is halogen or lower alkoxy-carbonyl, Z is hydrogen or lower alkanoyl or chloroacetyl, of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 one R is hydrogen and the other R is lower alkyl, cyclohexyloxy-lower alkyl, phenyl-lower-alkoxy-lower alkyl, phenoxy-lower alkyl, lower alkanoyloxy-lower-alkyl, cyano-lower -alkyl, brominated lower alkyl, chlorinated lower alkyl, lower alkoxy carbonyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl or phenyl substituted by bromine, chlorine, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy. These dyestuffs are distinguished by good affinity and levelling and build-up properties especially for polyester fibres, affording dyeings on these fibres which have good fastness properties and especially good fastness to sublimation.
