The starting materials of formula (3) for use in the process of the present invention are known compounds having been described in German Offenlegungsschrift 2533958.
The coupling components used in the process of the present invention for the preparation of the monoazo and bisazo dyestuffs can be prepared by known methods for example, by diazotising the 5-aminobenzimidazolone; reducing the diazonium salt to the hydrazinium salt with stannous chloride in hydrochloric acid; and reacting the hydrazinium salt with acetoacetamide to give the pyrazolone.
When preparing pigment dyestuffs it is sometimes expedient to precipitate the coupling component from dilute aqueous alkaline solution using acetic acid, prior to coupling. Often a softer textured pigment dyestuff is obtained in this manner. The coupling process may be performed in the "normal" manner, that is, the addition of the diazonium salt solution to the coupling component; in the "invert" manner, that is, the addition of the coupling component to the diazonium salt solution; or in the "simultaneous" manner, that it, the simultaneous addition of the diazonium salt solution and the coupling component to an aqueous, buffered medium. Use of surfactants may be advantageous during the coupling reaction to assist in the dispersion of coupling component and pigment dyestuff.
The pigment dyestuffs obtained by the process of this invention sometimes possess a hard grain and, in order to convert these into products of soft grain and full tinctorial strength, they can be heated in the form of an aqueous paste, if desired with the addition of an organic solvent, under elevated pressure at a temperature exceeding 100 C. Alternatively, the dyestuff in the form of an aqueous paste or the dry dyestuff may be subjected to an after-treatment with an organic solvent. Examples of such solvents are ethanol, pyridine, dimethylformamide, Nmethylpyrrolidone, 1 ,2-dichlorobenzene, toluene and xylene. Temperatures of such treatments are in the range from ambient to the boiling point of the solvent.It is often advantageous to remove the water by azeotropic distillation in the case of those solvents forming azeotropes with water, or by simple distillation in the case of those solvents not forming azeotropes with water.
The present invention also provides a method for the colouration of organic material comprising incorporating into the organic material a pigmenting proportion, preferably 0.1 to 5% by weight, of a pigment of formula I.
The new pigment dyestuffs are suitable e.g. for the preparation of coloured lacquers and lacquer forming agents, solutions and products made from acetyl cellulose as well as cellulose ethers, natural or synthetic resins, for example polymerisation or condensation resins, such as aminoplasts or phenolplasts, as well as products made from polystyrene or polyolefins, for example polyethylene or polypropylene, polyacryl or polyvinyl compounds, for example polyvinylchloride or polyvinyl acetate, polyesters, rubber, casein or silicone resins. They may also be used in other applicational fields, for example in finely dispersed form for dyeing rayon from viscose or cellulose ethers or esters, polyamides, polyurethanes, polyglycol terephthalates or polyacrylonitrile in the spinning solution, or for dyeing paper.
The pigments of the present invention are yellow to red powders which are insoluble in conventional solvents. They excel by their high tinctorial strength, excellent resistance to overpainting and to migration and by their outstandingly good fastness to light and weathering.
When compared with known mono- and bis-azo pigment dyestuffs based on 1-aryl-3-methyl-5pyrazolone, the new pigments are distinguished by an improved fastness to solvents in addition to superior fastness to light.

12. A process according to claim 10 or 11 wherein the coupling component is precipitated from dilute aqueous solution, using acetic acid, prior to coupling.
13. A process according to any of claims 10 to 12 wherein the product of the process is (a) heated in the form of an aqueous paste, optionally with the addition of an organic solvent, under elevated pressure at a temperature exceeding 100"C. or (b) subjected, in the form of an aqueous paste or a dry powder, to an after-treatment with an organic solvent.
14. A process according to claim 13 wherein the organic solvent is ethanol, pyridine, dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, 1 ,2-dichlorobenzene, toluene or xylene.
15. A process according to claim 13 or 14 wherein the after-treatment is effected at a temperature in the range of from ambient to the boiling point of any solvent used.
16. A process according to any of claims 13 to 15 wherein, when solvents are used which form azeotropes with water, water is removed by azeotropic distillation; or, when solvents are used which do not form azeotropes with water, water is removed by simple distillation.
17. A process of producing azo pigments of formula I substantially as described with reference to any of the Examples.
18. Azo pigments of formula I when produced by a process claimed in any of claims 10 to 17.
19. A method for the colouration of organic material comprising incorporating into the organic material a pigmenting proportion of an azo pigment of formula I.
20. A method according to claim 19 wherein the proportion used of the azo pigment of formula I is from 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the organic material.
21. A method according to claim 19 or 20 wherein the organic material is a lacquer or lacquer-forming agent; or solution of, or an end product made from acetyl cellulose or cellulose ethers; a natural or synthetic resin; a product made from polystyrene, a polyolefin, polyacryl or polyvinyl compounds, polyester, rubber, casein or silicone resins.
22. Coloured organic material when produced by a method claimed in any of claims 19 to 21.
