Azo dyes are also made by coupling a diazotized aromatic amine with a coupling component, at least one of the reactants containing a sulphonic or carboxylic acid group and at least one containing a group of Formula I above. Examples are given. The dyes dye cellulose textile materials in a variety of shades, if desired in conjunction with a treatment with formaldehyde and/or a resin-forming intermediate and an acid-liberating catalyst and a subsequent heat treatment at above 100 DEG C. Resin-forming intermediates mentioned are methylol-melamine, methylolurea, acetals, isocyanates, dimethylol cyclic ethylene urea, dimethylolglyoxal urea, dimethylol cyclic propylene urea, tetramethylol acetylene diurea and methyloltriazines. Acid-liberating catalysts mentioned are ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, ammonium thiocyanate, zinc chloride, magnesium chloride, zinc nitrate and 2-methyl-2-aminopropanol hydrochloride. The Provisional Specification refers to watersoluble dyes containing at least one group of the formula <FORM:0927404/IV(a)/9> where X is <FORM:0927404/IV(a)/100> A is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene radical, R, R1 and R11 are each hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, Y is an alkyl or cycloalkyl radical containing at least two hydroxy groups and n and m are each 1 or 2. Di-(b -chloroethylsulphamyl) -1:4 - bis-(211 - methoxy-41-phenoxyanilino)anthraquinone-disulphonic acid is made by reacting b -chloroethylamine hydrochloride with sulphochlorinated 1:4-bis-(211-methoxy-41-phenoxyanilino)anthraquinone. 3-[31-(b -sulphatoethylsulphonyl)phenylsulpamyl]copper phthalocyanine sulphonic acid and 3-(31-b -sulphatoethylsulphonylmethyl-41 -methylphenylaminosulphonyl)-copper phthalocyanine sulphonic acid are made by reacting sulphochlorinated copper phthalocyanine with 3-aminophenylb -hydroxyethyl sulphone hydrochloride and 5-amino-2-methylbenzyl-p-hydroxyethylsulphone respectively and esterifying the products with sulphuric acid. Copper phthalocyanine-3-sulphonic acid sulphonamide sulphon-b -chlorethylamide is made by reacting sulphochlorinated copper phthalocyanine with b -chloroethylamine and ammonia. Copper phthalocyanine-4-sulphonic acid-sulphon-N-methyl-N-pentahydroxyhexyl amide-sulphon-b -chloroethylamide and copper phthalocyanine-4-sulphonic acid sulphon-b -hydroxyethylamide sulphon-b -chloroethylamide are made by treating copper phthalocyanine tetra-4-sulphonic acid with chlorosulphonic acid and reacting the sulphochloride obtained with b -chloroethylamino and respectively N-methyl-glucamine or monoethanolamine. Copper phthalocyanine-4-sulphonic acid-sulphonamide-sulphon-b :g -dichloropropyl amide and the corresponding -g -chloro-b -hydroxypropylamide are made by reacting the sulphochloride obtained from copper phthalocyanine tetra-4-sulphonic acid and chlorosulphonic acid with ammonia and respectively b :g -dichloropropylamine or g -chloro-b -hydroxypropylamine.
