Aniline compounds of the general formula (4) are for example 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-(.beta.-sulfatoethyl)aminoaniline, 3-(.beta.-thiosulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-(.beta.-thiosulfatoethyl)-aminoani line, 3-(.beta.-phosphatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-(.beta.-phosphatoethyl)-aminoaniline , 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-(.gamma.-sulfato-n-)aminoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-N-(.omega.-sulfato-n-hexyl)-aminoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-(.beta.-sulfatoethyl)-thioaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-N-(.beta.-sulfoethyl)-aminoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-[N-methyl-N-(.beta.-sulfoethyl)]-aminoan iline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-[N-methyl-N-(.beta.-sulfatoethyl)]-amino aniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-[.beta.-(.beta.'-sulfatoethoxy)-ethyl]-a minoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-(.alpha.,.beta.-disulfato-n-propyl)-am inoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-(carboxymethyl)-aminoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-(.beta.-carboxyethyl)-aminoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-[.beta.-(.beta.'-sulfatoethyl-amino)-e thyl]-aminoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-{.beta.-[N'-methyl-N'-(.beta.'-sulfato ethyl)-amino]-ethyl}aminoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-[.beta.-(.beta.'-carboxypropionylamido )-ethyl]-aminoaniline, 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-[.beta.-(sulfoacetamido)-ethyl]-aminoa niline and 3-(.beta.-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)-4-N-[.beta.-(4'-sulfophenyl)-ethyl]-aminoa niline.
The copper complex formazan compounds of the general formula (1) prepared according to the invention are isolated from their synthesis batches in a commonly known manner, either by precipitation from the reaction medium by means of an electrolyte salt, for example sodium chloride or potassium chloride or by evaporating the reaction solution, for example by spray drying, possibly after a buffer substance and/or a solubilizer has been added to said reaction solution. The novel compounds (1) have fiber-reactive properties and very good dye properties. They can therefore be used for dyeing hydroxy- and/or carboxamido-containing material, for example in the form of sheetlike structures, such as films and paper, or even leather, or in the mass, such as polyamide and polyurethane, but in particular materials in fiber form. Similarly, the solutions obtained in the course of the synthesis of the compounds according to the invention, if desired after addition of a buffer substance and/or a solubilizer and if desired after concentrating of the solution, can be used directly as a liquid formulation for dyeing.
The present invention therefore also relates to the use of the compounds according to the invention of the general formula (1) for dyeing (including mass coloration and printing) these materials, i.e. to process for dyeing such materials in a conventional manner using a compound of the general formula (1) as colorant. Preferably, the materials are employed in the form of fiber materials, in particular in the form of textile fibers.
Hydroxy-containing materials are natural or synthetic hydroxy-containing materials, such as, for example, cellulose fiber materials or their regeneration products and polyvinyl alcohols. Cellulose fiber materials are preferably cotton, but also other vegetable fibers, such as linen, hemp, jute and ramie fibers; regenerated cellulose fibers are for example staple viscose and filament viscose.
Carboxamido-containing materials are for example synthetic or natural polyamides and polyurethanes, in particular in the form of fibers, for example wool and other animal hairs, silk, leather, nylon-6.6, nylon-6, nylon-11 and nylon-4.
The compounds according to the invention of the formula (1) can be applied to and fixed on the substrates mentioned, in particular on the fiber materials mentioned, by the application techniques known for water-soluble dyes, in particular for fiber-reactive dyes.
For instance, applied to cellulose fibers from a long liquor by the exhaust method using a very wide range of acid-binding agents in the absence or presence of neutral salts, such as, for example, sodium chloride or sodium sulfate, they produce good color yields. Dyeing is carried out at temperatures between 60.degree. and 100.degree. C., if desired under pressure at temperatures of up to 120.degree. C., in the presence or absence of customary dyeing assistants, in an aqueous bath. A possible dyeing procedure comprises entering the warm bath with the material and gradually raising the temperature to the desired dyeing temperature and completing the dyeing process at that temperature. The neutral salts which accelerate the exhaustion of the dye can if desired also be added to the bath after the actual dyeing temperature has been reached.
Padding likewise produces excellent color yields on cellulose fibers, and the dyes can be fixed in a conventional manner by leaving to stand at room temperature or elevated temperature, for example at up to 60.degree. C., by steaming or by means of dry heat.
Similarly, by employing conventional printing processes for cellulose fibers, which can be carried out as one-step processes, for example in the presence of sodium bicarbonate or other acid-binding agents in the print paste containing the compound of the formula (1) and subsequent steaming of the printed material at 101.degree. to 103.degree. C., or as two-step processes, for example by printing with a neutral or weakly acid print paste containing the compound of the formula (1) and fixing by passing through a hot electrolyte-containing alkaline bath or by overpadding with an alkaline electrolyte-containing padding liquor and subsequent batching of this treated material or subsequent steaming or subsequent treatment with dry heat, it is possible to obtain strong prints having well-defined contours and a clear white ground. The outcome of the prints varies only little with varying fixing conditions. The degree of fixation obtained with the compounds according to the invention are very high both in dyeing and in printing.
Fixing by means of dry heat as per the customary thermofixing processes is carried out using hot air at 120.degree. to 200.degree. C. Aside from customary steam at 101.degree. to 103.degree. C., it is also possible to use superheated steam and high-pressure steam at temperatures of up to 160.degree. C.
The acid-binding agents which cause the dyes to become fixed on the cellulose fiber are for example water-soluble basic salts of the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals of inorganic or organic acids or compounds which liberate alkali on heating, and in particular the alkali metal hydroxides and alkali metal salts of weak to medium inorganic or organic acids, alkali metal compounds referring here in particular to the sodium and potassium compounds. Such acid-binding agents are for example sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium formate, sodium dihydrogenphosphate, disodium hydrogenphosphate, sodium trichloroacetate, waterglass and trisodium phosphate.
By treating the compounds according to the invention with acid-binding agents, if desired with heating, the compounds according to the invention (dyes) are bonded chemically to the cellulose fiber; after the customary aftertreatment by rinsing to remove unfixed dye portions, the dyeings on cellulose show excellent wet fastness properties.
As regards the coloristic behavior of the compounds according to the invention, it is particularly noteworthy that they are distinguished by good stability in print pastes and padding liquors, even in the presence of alkali, by very good exhaustability from long liquors, by good color buildup in the customary dyeing and printing processes, by a uniform depth of shade on dyeing cotton and regenerated cellulose fibers, by a level appearance of the dyeings and prints prepared therewith and likewise by a uniform outcome of the dyeings from a long liquor in the presence of varying amounts of electrolytes.
The dyeings on polyurethane and polyamide fibers are customarily carried out in an acid medium. For instance, acetic acid and/or ammonium sulfate and/or acetic acid and ammonium acetate or sodium acetate can be added to the dyebath to obtain the desired pH. To obtain a dyeing of usable levelness, it is advisable to add customary leveling assistants, such as, for example, those based on a reaction product of cyanuric chloride with three times the molar amount of aminobenzenesulfonic acid and/or an aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid or based on a reaction product of for example stearylamine with ethylene oxide. In general, the material to be dyed is introduced into the initially weakly alkaline bath at a temperature of about 40.degree. C. and agitated therein for some time, the dyebath is then brought to the desired weakly acid, preferably weakly acetic acid, pH, and the actual dyeing is carried out at a temperature between 60.degree. and 98.degree. C. However, the dyeings can also be carried out at the boil or at temperatures of up to 120.degree. C. (under superatmospheric pressure).
The dyeings and prints produced with the compounds according to the invention are distinguished by pure, predominantly blue, hues. The dyeings and prints on cellulose fiber materials in particular have a high tinctorial strength and good to very good performance and fabrication fastness properties, such as a very good light, perspiration light, wet light and crock fastness and excellent wet fastness properties, such as wash, chlorinated water, chlorine bleach, seawater, fulling, alkali, acid fading, peroxide and perspiration fastness, and also a good hot-press and good drycleaning fastness and good stability of the complex to iron. Unfixed dye portions can easily be washed completely off again from the fiber material, which is an essential prerequisite for the good wetfast properties of the obtainable dyeings. Furthermore, the dyeings are stable to the customary synthetic resin finishes. The compounds according to the invention (dyes) partly match the customary anthraquinone standard in respect of purity of hue and in addition have the advantage of very much easier dischargability over said anthraquinone dyes.
The Examples which follow serve to illustrate the invention. The compounds described in terms of a formula are written in the form of the free acids. In general, they are prepared and isolated in the form of their sodium or potassium salts and used for dyeing in the form of their salts. Similarly, the starting compounds mentioned in the Examples which follow, in particular the Table Examples, in the form of the free acid can be used in the synthesis as such or in the form of their salts, preferably alkali metal salts, such as sodium or potassium salts.
The parts and percentages mentioned in the Examples are by weight, unless otherwise stated. Parts by weight relate to parts by volume as the kilogram relates to the liter.
The .lambda..sub.max values indicated in the Examples for the copper complex formazan compounds according to the invention represent the absorption maxima in the visible region, measured in aqueous solutions of the alkali metal salts of the compounds (1) according to the invention.
EXAMPLE 1

C. in the course of about 10 hours (the acetylamino copper formazan compound can also be salted out beforehand from the synthesis solution by means of sodium chloride and isolated and then be hydrolyzed in approximately 3% strength aqueous sodium hydroxide solution). The amino-containing copper formazan compound obtained can be isolated by salting out with sodium chloride after the pH has been brought back to a value of about 4.

C., and the synthesized compound according to the invention is isolated from the filtrate by addition of sodium chloride or potassium chloride or--if desired after prior treatment with oxalic acid--by evaporation or spray-drying.
The alkali metal salt (sodium or potassium salt) of the compound of the formula ##STR16## is obtained as a dark powder which contains the electrolyte salt. The compound according to the invention shows very good dye properties and dyes the materials mentioned in the description in blue shades having a slightly reddish tinge. Cellulose fiber materials in particular, such as cotton and also regenerated cellulose fiber materials, are dyed in deep shades if the dye is applied by the application and fixing methods customary in industry for fiber-reactive dyes, for example from an aqueous, long liquor at 70.degree. C. in the presence of an acid-binding agent. After the customary aftertreatment, for example by 10 minutes soaping off and rinsing with water, the dyeings obtained according to the invention are distinguished by very good lightfastness properties in the dry state and also after moistening with tapwater or an alkaline or acid perspiration solution, and further by excellent wetfastness properties, such as wash, chlorinated water, chlorine bleach, alkali, perspiration and peroxide fastness properties. Furthermore, they show good acid fading resistance.

C. and pH of about 2 are maintained in the course of one hour and the mixture is stirred for some time thereafter until no more free cyanuric chloride is detectable.
