Novel isoindoline pigments of the formula (I): ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is --CN;

Isoindoline pigments based on aminoquinoxalinediones

Water-insoluble azo colorants, their preparation and use The invention relates to monoazo and disazo compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which D is the radical of a carbocyclic or heterocyclic diazo or bisdiazo component, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, independently of one another, are each a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or heteroaryl radical, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2, independently of one another, are each ring-forming ether oxygen or a substituted or unsubstituted imide grouping and n has the value 0 or 1, in which rings A and B, independently of one another, can each be additionally substituted and/or carry substituted or unsubstituted fused rings. These new compounds of the formula (I) are obtained by coupling diazotized amines or diamines of the type D--NH.sub.2 or H.sub.2 N--D--NH.sub.2 with (benzoxazol-2-yl)- or (benzimidazol-2-yl)-arylacetamides. Depending on the presence and length of alkyl chains, the compounds of the formula (I) are suitable for use as pigments, disperse dyes or oil-soluble dyes.

Monoazo or disazo pigments based on (benoxazol-2-yl)- or

Disazo compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different and are a hydrogen or halogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkoxycarbonyl, nitro, cyano or trifluoromethyl group and the rings A, B, C and D independently of one another are unsubstituted or contain one or more substituents from the group comprising C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, carboxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -carbalkoxy, C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 -alkanoyl, benzoyl, acyloxy, acylamino, unsubstituted or N-mono- or N,N-disubstituted carbamoyl or unsubstituted or N-mono- or N,N-disubstituted sulfamoyl, possible substituents being C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or mono- to trisubstituted phenyl; C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylamino or phenylamino; C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylsulfonyl or phenylsulfonyl; phenylsulfonylamino; cyano; halogen, nitro and trifluoromethyl, are suitable for coloring naturally occurring and synthetic materials, for formulating enamels, emulsion paints and printing inks, for spin coloring artificial silk and for coloring paper.

Water-insoluble azo colorants having two azo groups and a 1,4-bis

The invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## where D.sup.1 and D.sup.2 are each independently of each other unsubstituted or substituted aryl or hetaryl. The compounds are obtained by diazotizing one or more amines of the formula D-NH.sub.2 where D has the meaning D.sup.1 or D.sup.2 as per the formula (I) and coupling with 0.5 mole of 1,5-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-2,4,6,8-tetrone per mole of total reacting diazonium salts. Depending on the presence and length of alkyl chains the compounds are suitable for use as pigments, disperse dyes or even fat dyes.
