Claim 4
Dependent Claim
64 words
Dyestuffs as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the.optionally substituted carbamoyl and sulphamoyl groups which may be present as substituents on the phenyl radicals represented by R 3 and R 4 , and which are represented by X 3 and X 4 , are of the formula: respectioly, in which L and L 2 are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl or phenyl.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
108 words
A process for the preparation of the dyestuffs claimed in claim 1 which comprises reacting 1 mol proportion of a compound of formula (II): wherein X 3 , X 4 , Z 1 ' and Z 2 have the meanings defined in claim 1, with at least 2 mol proportions of a compound of formula (III): wherein B is hydrogen, lower alkyl or aryl, A is hydroxyl, 0-acyl or halogen, and R 3 has the meaning defined in claim 1, either as a melt or in a high-boiling inert solvent, to give the intermediate of formula (IV): which is subsequently oxidised to give the dyestuff of formula (I).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
129 words
A process for the preparation of the dyestuffs claimed in claim 1 which comprises reacting substantially equimolar proportions of the compound of formula (II): wherein X 3 , X 4 , Z 1 and Z 2 have the meanings defined in claim 1, and the compound of formula (III): wherein A and B have the meanings defined in claim 5 and R 3 has the meaning defined in claim 1,to give the intermediate of formula (V): which is subsequently reacted with 1 mol proportion of the compound of formula (VI): wherein A and B have the meanings defined in claim 5 and R 4 has the meaning defined in claim 1, to give the intermediate of formula (VII): which is subsequently oxidised to give the dyestuff of formula (I).
