As diazo or coupling components in the manufacture of azo dyes, use is made of 5-pyrazolone derivatives substituted in the 1-position by a group -RXR1NHR11, where R and R1 are residues of the benzene series, R11 is hydrogen or the residue of an organic acid, and X is a simple linkage, an oxygen atom, a group -CH:CH-, -CH2-, -NHCO-, or -NHCONH-, or an amino-substituted heterocyclic ring containing carbon and nitrogen atoms, e.g. the residue of a 2 : 6-diamino-1 : 3 : 5-triazine ring, which may be substituted in the 4-position. If the dyes contain one or more free amino groups, they may be acylated or further diazotized and coupled with azo dye components. Diazo compounds which may be coupled with the pyrazolones include diazobenzene, diazonaphthalene, diazotoluene, diazoanisole, diazophenetole, diazotized aminoazobenzene, the sulphonic acids of any of these, and o- or peri-hydroxy- or carboxy-diazo compounds, e.g. those from o-aminophenols, o-aminonaphthols and their sulphonic acids, 1 : 8-aminonaphtholsulphonic acids, and anthranilic acid; the dyes prepared from o-aminophenols or o-aminocarboxylic acids or their esters or ethers, or the dyes containing a salicylic acid or other lake-forming grouping, may be converted into complex metal compounds, particularly into copper, chromium, nickel, cobalt, iron or zinc compounds, in substance or on the fibre. Coupling components which may be coupled with the diazotized pyrazolones (obtained when R11 is hydrogen) include p-cresol, resorcinol and 2-naphthol and their sulphonic acids, 1-naphthol sulphonic acids which couple in the 2-position, aminonaphthol sulphonic acids such as 2-amino-5-naphthol-7-sulphonic acid, 2-amino-8-naphthol-6-sulphonic acid, 1 - amino - 8 - naphthol - 4 : 6- and -3 : 6-disulphonic acid (acid or alkaline coupling), 2 : 3-oxynaphthoic acid, 1-acidylamino-8-naphtholsulphonic acids, and amines such as m-phenylenediamine, 2-naphthylamine and alkyl-2-naphthylamines and their sulphonic acids. The dyes are useful for dyeing textiles consisting of or containing natural or regenerated cellulose, e.g. viscose or cuprammonium artificial silk; if the dyes contain suitable substituents, they may be diazotized on the fibre and coupled with a coupling component, or treated on the fibre with a diazo compound.
