The dyes of this invention impart red to blue shades on fibers, particularly polyamides, and are especially useful for dyeing polyamide (nylon) carpets, giving good fastness to light ozone, oxides of nitrogen, washing, sublimation, crocking and the like, and having good leveling, transfer, exhaustion, and build properties.
The couplers used in this invention are prepared according to known procedures. The dyes may be prepared by reacting the coupler with a diazonium salt which contains one or two carbalkoxy groups. The product is reacted first with an aminoalcohol H--X'--Z--OH (X' is NH, Z is alkylene) to convert to a N-(hydroxyalkyl)carbamyl group, or with an alkanediol H--X'--Z--OH (X' is O, Z is alkylene) to convert to a hydroxyalkoxycarbonyl group. Subsequently, the material is reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid to form the sulfate ester: ##STR8## Alternatively, a diazotizable amine containing a hydroxyalkoxycarbonyl group or a N-(hydroxyalkyl)carbamyl group may be sulfated before diazotization and coupling:
