Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1:2 metal complex azo dyes of formula ##STR1## wherein each X is hydrogen, halogen or nitro, K and K' are each independently of the other the radical of a coupling component of the benzene, naphthalene or pyrazolone series, Y and Y' are each --O-- or --N(R), wherein R is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or phenyl, Me is chromium or cobalt and Ka is a cation, and Y and Y' are attached to K and K' adjacent to the azo group, by coupling and metallising, which process comprises coupling, in aqueous solution, a diazo component of formula ##STR2## wherein X is as defined for formula (1), in the presence of the 5- to 30-fold molar amount of sodium and/or potassium chloride, based on the molar amount of diazo component, and in the presence of a compound that donates a chromium or cobalt atom, to coupling components of formulae
