6 parts of 1-amino-4-hydroxy-2-(2-[3-methylphenylamino]-ethoxy)-anthraquinone are suspended in 40 parts by volume of toluene. 2.3 parts of phenylisocyanate and a pinch of triethylenediamine are added to the reaction mixture and the whole is heated to the boil for 5 minutes. The dyestuff formed separates out, after prolonged standing, from the reaction mixture which has cooled. It is filtered off and washed with methanol and water. 7.3 parts of the compound indicated are obtained, melting at 161.degree.-2.degree. C after recrystallisation from pyridine; the compound dyes polyester materials in red shades. ##STR49## a. 68 parts of benzoic acid methyl ester and 32 parts of ethanolamine are converted into 2-benzoylaminoethanol by heating to 150.degree. C for several hours. 16.6 parts of 1-amino-2-phenoxy-4-hydroxy-anthraquinone and 5.2 parts of potassium carbonate are introduced into the crude reaction product. The mixture is warmed to 140.degree. C and kept at this temperature for approx. 3 hours. After cooling to approx. 80.degree. C, the dyestuff produced is caused to separate out by adding 100 parts by volume of methanol. After working up in the usual manner, 9.4 parts of the compound indicated are obtained.

b. 100 parts of a fibre yarn of polyhexamethylenediamine adipate fibres are introduced, at room temperature, into a dyebath which has been prepared from 1 part of dyestuff according to Example 40a in 1,000 parts of tetrachloroethylene. The bath is heated to 100.degree. C over the course of 20 minutes with vigorous circulation of the liquor, and is kept at this temperature for 45 minutes. The liquor is then separated off and the fabric is rinsed with fresh tetrachloroethylene at 40.degree. C. After separating off the rinsing liquor, the dyed goods are freed from the adhering solvent by centrifuging and drying in a stream of air. A bluish-tinged red dyeing of good fastness properties is obtained, with good dyestuff yield. ##STR50## a. 172 parts of N-(3-hydroxypropyl)-benzenesulphamide, 70.5 parts of ethylene carbonate and 2 parts of finely ground potassium carbonate are heated to 200.degree. C for 2 hours. 33.2 parts of 1-amino-2-phenoxy-4-hydroxy-anthraquinone and 8.4 parts of potassium carbonate are introduced into the reaction mixture at approx. 80.degree.-100.degree. C, and the mixture is stirred for approx. 2 hours at 140.degree. C. After cooling to approx. 60.degree. C, 200 parts by volume of methanol are added. After the customary working up, 42.3 parts of the dyestuff mixture indicated are obtained.

b. A fabric of polyester fibres (polyethylene terephthalate) is impregnated on a padder with a liquor which contains, per liter, 20 g of dyestuff of the above structure which has beforehand been brought to a finely divided state in the presence of dispersing agents. The fabric is squeezed out to a weight increase of 70% and is dried at 100.degree. C. It is then treated with hot air at 190.degree.-220.degree. C for 60 seconds to fix the dyeing, rinsed, washed hot and dried. A strong red dyeing of good fastness to light, sublimation and rubbing is obtained. ##STR51## a. 49.4 parts of 4-toluenesulphonic acid anilide, 17.6 parts of ethylene carbonate and 0.5 parts of potassium carbonate are heated to 200.degree. C until the evolution of carbon dioxide has ceased. After cooling to approx. 100.degree. C, 8 parts of 1-amino-2-phenoxy-4-hydroxy-anthraquinone and 2 parts of potassium carbonate are introduced. The mixture is then stirred for 6 hours at 140.degree. C; after cooling, the reaction mixture is diluted with 80 parts by volume of methanol, and after working up in the usual manner 11.2 parts of the compound indicated are obtained.

The dyestuff is identical with that obtained according to Example 14 by acylation, and dyes polyester materials in fast yellowish-tinged red shades. ##STR52## a. 80 parts of N,N-di-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-tosylamide, 20 parts by volume of N-methylpyrrolidone, 2 parts of potassium hydroxide and 12 parts of 1-amino-2-phenoxy-4-hydroxy-anthraquinone are warmed to 130.degree. C for 1/2 hour. After cooling to approx. 80.degree. C, the dyestuff is separated out by adding 100 parts by volume of methanol, filtered off and washed with methanol and water. 16.1 parts of the compound indicated are obtained, melting at 191.degree.-2.degree. C after recrystallisation from chlorotoluene.

b. 100 parts of fibre yarn of poly-.epsilon.-caprolactam are introduced at room temperature into a dyebath which contains 1 part of dyestuff according to Example 43a in 1,000 parts of tetrachloroethylene. The bath is warmed to 100.degree. C over the course of 20 minutes with vigorous circulation of the liquor and is kept at this temperature for 40 minutes. After this time, the liquor is separated off and the dyed yarn is briefly rinsed with fresh solvent, centrifuged and dried in a stream of air. A clear bluish-tinged red dyeing with good fastness properties and high dyestuff yield is obtained.

If the 1,000 parts of tetrachloroethylene are replaced by the same amount of 1,1,2-trichloroethane, pentachloroethane, 1,2-dichloropropane, 2-chlorobutane, 1,4-dichlorobutane, perfluoro-n-hexane, 1,2,2-trifluoro-trichloroethane, trifluoropentachloropropane, chlorobenzene, fluorobenzene, chlorotoluene or benzotrifluoride or if instead of poly-.epsilon.-caprolactam the polyamide of amino-undecanoic acid is used, equivalent red dyeings are obtained. ##STR53## a. A mixture of 50 parts of N,N-di-(2-hydroxyethyl)-isopropylurethane, 8 parts of 1-amino-2-phenoxy-4-hydroxy-anthraquinone and 2.5 parts of potassium carbonate is heated to 140.degree. C for approx. 4 hours. After cooling to 80.degree. C, the mixture is diluted with 80 parts by volume of methanol and the product is filtered off cold. After filtration, and washing with methanol and water, 7.9 parts of the compound indicated are obtained.

b. 50 parts of a fabric of polyester fibres are introduced into a dyebath at room temperature, which has been prepared from 1 part of dyestuff according to Example 44a, 1.5 parts of oleic acid ethanolamide, 1.5 parts of oleyl alcohol eicosaethylene glycol ether, 6 parts of water and 500 parts of tetrachloroethylene.

The bath is heated to 120.degree. C over the course of 10 minutes whilst vigorously circulating the liquor and is kept at this temperature for 45 minutes. After separating off the dyeing liquor, the dyed goods are rinsed with fresh solvent at 40.degree. C and are dried in a stream of air after removing the rinsing liquor. A clear red dyeing of good fastness to light and to sublimation is obtained.
