Azo Dyes With a Diazo Component of the 3-Amino Thiophene Series and a Coupling Component of the Pyridine, Pyridone or Pyrazole Series

The present invention relates to novel thien-3-ylazo dyes whose coupling components are derived from the pyridine, pyridone or pyrazole series and to the use of these dyes for dyeing synthetic fiber materials.

GB-A-2,011,937, DD-A-157,911 and JP-A-226,556/1985 disclose thien-3-ylazo dyes. Furthermore, DE-A-2,441,524 describes benzothien-3-ylazo dyes, including a case where the coupling component is 3-cyano-4-methyl-6-hydroxypyrid-2-one. However, it has been found that the known dyes have application defects.

It is an object of the present invention to provide new azo dyes whose diazo components are derived from 3-aminothiophene derivatives and which have a favorable range of application properties.

We have found that this object is achieved with novel thien-3-ylazo dyes of the formula I ##STR2## where

3-Aminothiophenes of the formula VIII are known and described for example in Liebigs Ann. Chem. 656 (1962), 90; Pharm. Zentralhalle 107 (1968), 348; GB-A-2,011,937; or Synthesis 1982, 1056. Further information about ways of synthesizing 3-aminothiophenes is given in Heterocyclic Compounds, vol. 44, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1986, Thiophene and its Derivatives, parts 1 and 2.
