Uniformly dyed water-swellable cellulosic fibers obtained by dyeing cellulosic fibers in the swollen state with a dye of the formula ##STR1## in which one R is R.sup.1, OR.sup.1, SR.sup.1 or ##STR2## the other R is ##STR3## R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently of one another are hydrogen or an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic or aromatic radical, ##STR4## may also be a saturated heterocyclic radical, and D is the radical of a diazo component. The dyed fibers exhibit very good fastness properties.

Uniformly dyed water-swellable cellulosic fibers

Dyes having the formula: ##STR1## IN WHICH D is the radical of a diazo component; and

Water-soluble azo dyes containing diaminopyrimidine coupler components

Disperse azo dyes having a diaminopyrimidine as coupling component. The dyes give brilliant colorations on textile material of synthetic fibers which have excellent fastness properties, including fastness to light and fastness to dry-heat pleating and setting. These disperse azo dyes are identified by the formula: ##STR1## in which D is the radical of a heterocyclic diazo component or a substituted diazo component of the aniline series, one X is NH.sub.2 and the other X is unsubstituted or substituted cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl or substituted alkyl.

Disperse azo dye with diaminopyrimidine coupling component

New diazarhodamine-lactones of the formula ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, unsubstituted phenyl or phenyl substituted by one or two alkyls of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, chlorine and/or bromine, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently of one another are hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 7 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 5 to 7 carbon atoms, phenylalkyl of 7 to 10 carbon atoms or alkoxyalkyl of a total of 3 to 8 carbon atoms, or the group ##STR2## is a 5-membered, 6-membered or 7-membered saturated heterocyclic ring or a 6-membered saturated heterocyclic ring which additionally contains an --O--, --S-- or --N--group, wherein R.sup.6 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and R.sup.5 is unsubstituted phenyl or phenyl substituted by alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, methoxy, chlorine or bromine. The lactones (I) exhibit improved stability and therefore do not stain coated paper. On papers coated with acid receptive layers, copies which instantly exhibit their full depth of color are obtained.

Diazarhodamine-lactones, their manufacture and their use as dye

Lactones of the diazaxanthene series, their manufacture from a benzoylbenzoic acid and a pyrimidine, and their use as dye-forming components in the red range for pressure-sensitive recording material.
