There are described water-soluble phthalocyanine dyes, in particular copper phthalocyanine and nickel phthalocyanine dyes, which have the formula (1) defined hereinafter and can be used for the dyeing and printing of hydroxy and/or carboxyamido-containing fiber material, such as cotton, wool and synthetic polyamide, by the techniques customary in the art for fiber-reactive dyes. ##STR1## in which Pc is a phthalocyanine radical, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are both hydrogen or alkyl, A is an aromatic carboxylic or heterocyclic radical, which may be substituted by substituents customary in dyes, or is an alkylene radical, which may be substituted by 1 or 2 hetero groups, X is a direct bond or a divalent organic binding link, such as an alkylene radical or an alkyleneamino group, Y is a direct bond or a group of the formula --CO--NH--alkylene-- or a methylamino or .beta.-cyanoethylamino group, Z is a fiber-reactive radical from the vinylsulfonyl series or is .beta.-hydroxyethylsulfonyl, m is the number 1 or 2, W is halogen, sulfo, phenylsulfonyl, alkylsulfonyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy or W is an amino group of the formula (2) or (3) ##STR2## in which R.sup.2, X, A, Y, Z and m have one of the above-mentioned meanings, and R.sup.3 is hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or cycloalkyl and R.sup.4 is hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or cyano, or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4, together with the nitrogen atom, form a heterocyclic ring, a is a number from 1 to 4 and b is a number from zero to 3, and the sum of (a+b) is a number from 1 to 4, and M is a hydrogen atom or an alkali metal or another salt-forming metal.

Water-soluble phthalocyanine dyes, processes for their preparation and

Phthalocyanine dyes, in particular copper phthalocyanine and nickel phthalocyanine dyes which contain one or more groups of the formula given and defined below ##STR1## or one or more carboxy groups or both groups and which furthermore can contain one or more sulfo groups, customary sulfonamide groups and/or groups of the formula given and defined below ##STR2## dye hydroxy- and/or carboxamide-containing materials, in particular fiber materials, such as cellulose fiber materials, wool and polyamide fibers, in fast, predominantly green hues of high color strength. In the formulae: R is hydrogen or a lower substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic radical, A is an aromatic carbocyclic or aromatic heterocyclic radical or an alkylene radical, which may be interrupted by 1 or 2 hetero groups, X is a direct bond or a divalent organic bridging member or together with the group --N(R)-- forms the divalent radical of a saturated heterocycle containing two N atoms, Y, in the case where A is an aromatic radical, is a direct bond or a carbamoylalkylene group or a methylene, ethylene, methylamino or .beta.-cyanoethylamino group, or Y is lower alkylene, in which case the grouping --X--A-- must be a direct bond and m is 2, Z is a fiber-reactive group of the vinylsulfonyl series and m is the number 1 or 2.

Water-soluble phthalocyanine dyestuffs, processes for their preparation and their use Phthalocyanine dyestuffs, in particular copper phthalocyanine and nickel phthalocyanine dyestuffs, which contain one or more groups of the formula define below ##STR1## or one or more carboxy groups, or both groups, and which furthermore can have one or more sulfo groups, customary sulfonamide groups and/or groups of the general formula defined below ##STR2## dye materials containing hydroxy and/or carboxamide groups, in particular fiber materials, such as, for example, cellulose fiber materials, wool and polyamide fibers, in deep-colored, fast, mainly green shades. In the formulae:

Water-soluble phthalocyanine dyestuffs, processes for their preparation

There are described water-soluble fiber-reactive dye-stuffs which possess a triazinylamino radical to which is bonded as second substituent an amino group or an N-containing heterocyclic group which, bonded via an arylene, alkylene or aralkyl radical, possesses a fiber-reactive grouping of the vinyl sulfone series, and to which is bonded as third substituent a sulfonamide group, wherein the sulfone radical is substituted by optionally substituted aryl, alkylenearyl or arylenealkyl or optionally substituted amino groups. The dyestuffs are used for dyeing hydroxy - and/or carboxamido-containing material, in particular fiber material, such as cellulose fibers, wool and synthetic polyamide.
