Colored condensation polymers useful as replacements for waxes in a thermal wax transfer process, said polymers being obtained by reacting a polymerizable lactone or a hydroxyalkanoic acid with a dye containing at least one active hydrogen atom.

Condensation polymers

A process for the manufacture of the heterocyclic compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, lower alkyl or phenyl, which comprises simultaneously decarboxylating and dinitrating a compound of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R has the meaning stated above, and finally hydrolyzing off the acyl group.

Process for manufacturing heterocyclic compounds

Triphenodioxazine dyes which, in the free acid form, have the formula: ##STR1## wherein A is Cl or Br; Y is cyclopentylene, cyclohexylene or (CH.sub.2).sub.x where x is 2, 3 or 4; and

Triphenodioxazine acid dyes

Disperse monoazo dyestuffs, free from carboxylic and sulphonic acid groups, derived from 3,5-dinitro-2-amino thiophene as disazo component and an arylamine coupling component exhibit superior properties when used to give colorations to textile materials such as secondary cellulose acetate and cellulose triacetate, polyamide and aromatic polyester textile materials, said colorations having excellent fastness to light and to wet and dry heat treatments. The dyestuffs also have high tinctorial strength and excellent dyeing and build-up properties and produce depths of shade which are relatively independent of the dyebath pH, or the temperature of the dyebath or the liquor ratio of the dyebath.

Process for manufacture of the heterocyclic compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is cyano, acyl, alkylsulphonyl, arylsulphonyl, optionally substituted alkoxycarbonyl, nitro, phenyl or sulphamoyl, and

Process for the manufacture of heterocyclic compounds

The compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is a lower alkylsulphonyl, phenylsulphonyl, cyano, carbonamido, carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid ester group;

2-Aminothiophenes

The water-insoluble monoazo dyestuffs, free from sulphonic acid and carboxylic acid groups, which are of the formula: ##STR1## wherein Y is hydrogen, lower alkyl, optionally substituted phenyl or nitro; Z is nitro, cyano, optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted lower alkoxycarbonyl or carbonamido; T is hydrogen, optionally substituted lower alkyl or optionally substituted lower alkoxy; W is an acylamino group of the formula: ##STR2## wherein X.sup.1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, X.sup.2 is hydrogen or an optionally substituted hydrocarbon or heterocyclic radical, and A is a direct link or --0-- or ##STR3## and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl radical or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together form with the nitrogen atom N a 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring, a process for the manufacture of the said dyestuffs by diazotization and coupling, and the use of the said dyestuffs for coloring synthetic textile materials, in particular aromatic polyester textile materials which they color in violet to green shades possessing excellent fastness to light, to wet treatments and to dry heat treatments.

Disperse monoazo dyestuffs containing a thiophene residue

A process for the manufacture of the heterocyclic compounds of the formula: ##SPC1## Wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon radical, which comprises decarboxylating and dinitrating a compound of the formula: ##SPC2## Wherein R has the meaning stated above, and finally hydrolysing off the acyl group, and the use of the said heterocyclic compounds as diazo components in the production of azo dyestuffs.
