N-succinyl-, N-benzoyl- N-benzenesulphonyl-, N-p-toluenesulphonyl-, N-tetrahydronaphthalene- 2-sulphonyl-and N-hexahydrobenzoyl-derivatives of 2:5:7 - acid are obtained by the action, in presence of an acid-binding agent, of succinic anhydride, benzoyl chloride, benzenesulphonyl chloride, p - toluenesulphonyl chloride, tetrahydronaphthalene - 2 - sulphonyl chloride and hexahydrobenzoyl chloride respectively on 2:5:7 - aminonaphtholsulphonic acid. N - alkoxyacyl derivatives of 2:5:7 - acid and of its N - alkyl and N - aryl derivatives are obtained by the action of the chloride or anhydride of the appropriate alkoxy-substituted fatty acid on 2:5:7-aminonaphtholsulphonic and its N - alkyl - and N- aryl derivatives. N - aryloxy -, N - cycloalkoxy and N - aralkoxy - acyl derivatives of 2:5:7 - acid and its N - alkyl derivatives are obtained by the action of the appropriate N - aryloxy -, N - cycloalkoxy- and N - aralkoxy-acyl chlorides on 2:5:7 - aminonaphtholsulphonic acid and its N - alkyl derivatives.
