Y in formula I may inter alia be a group which is detachable under alkaline reaction conditions. Examples of such groups are chlorine, OSO.sub.3 H, SSO.sub.3 H, OP(O)(OH).sub.2, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylsulfonyloxy, substituted or unsubstituted phenylsulfonyloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanoyloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -dialkylamino, ##STR4## where Q.sup.1, Q.sup.2 and Q.sup.3 are identical or different and each is independently of the others C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or benzyl, and An.sup..THETA. is in each case an anion. (Suitable anions are for example fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, mono-, di-or trichloroacetate, methylsulfonate, phenylsulfonate and 2- or 4-methylphenylsulfonate.)

D is for example 2,4-dihydroxysulfonylphenyl, 2,5-dihydroxysulfonylphenyl, 2,5-dihydroxysulfonyl-4-methylphenyl, 2,5-dihydroxysulfonyl-6-chlorophenyl, 3,6,8-trihydroxysulfonylnaphth-2-yl, 4,6,8-trihydroxysulfonylnaphth-2-yl, 1,5-dihydroxysulfonylnaphth-2-yl or 1,6-dihydroxysulfonylnaphth-2-yl.

Preference is given to reactive dyes of the formula I in which

R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each hydrogen,

R.sup.4 is a radical of the formula NL.sup.1 L.sup.2, where L.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl and L.sup.2 is substituted or unsubstituted phenyl,

R.sup.5 is fluorine or chlorine,

A is C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -alkylene, which may be interrupted by an oxygen atom,

D is phenyl or naphthyl, which may both be monosubstituted, disubstituted or trisubstituted by hydroxysulfonyl, and

Y is as defined above.

Particular preference is given to reactive dyes of the formula I in which

R.sup.4 is a radical of the formula NL.sup.1 L.sup.2 where L is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl and L.sup.2 is phenyl, and

D is dihydroxysulfonylphenyl or trihydroxysulfonylnaphthyl.

The novel reactive dyes of the formula I are obtainable in an advantageous manner, for example by conventionally diazotizing an amine of the formula III

where D is as defined above, and coupling the diazonium salt with a phenylenediamine of the formula II ##STR5## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and A are each as defined above and X is hydroxyl or halogen.

The resulting azo dye of the formula IV ##STR6## where D, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, A and X are each as defined above, can then be reacted in a conventional manner with a trihalotriazine and thereafter with a compound of the formula V

where R.sup.4 is as defined above.

If X is hydroxyl, the final step, which may again be carried out in a conventional manner, is to convert the group --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --X into Y (see definition above), for example by esterification with sulfuric acid.

The novel reactive dyes of the formula I are advantageous for dyeing or printing hydroxyl- or amino-containing organic substrates. Such substrates are for example leather and fiber material containing predominantly natural or synthetic polyamides or natural or regenerated cellulose. The novel dyes are preferred for dyeing or printing textile material based on cotton. The reactive dyes according to the present invention can also be used for discharge printing, since they are alkali-dischargeable.

The present invention further provides phenylenediamines of the formula II ##STR7## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are identical or different and each is independently of the other hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or phenyl,

A is C.sub.2 --C.sub.8 -alkylene, which may be interrupted by from 1 to 3 oxygen atoms, imino groups or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylimino groups, and

X is hydroxyl or halogen.

For examples of the definitions, reference should be made to the preceding enumerations.

The novel phenylenediamines of the formula II can be obtained in a conventional manner. For instance, by reacting 3-nitrophenyl isocyanate of the formula VI ##STR8## with a sulfur-containing amine of the formula VII ##STR9## where R.sup.3 and A are each as defined above, and subjecting the resulting thio compound of the formula VIII ##STR10## where R.sup.3 and A are each as defined above, in a conventional manner first to an oxidation of the thio group to a sulfone group and then to a reduction of the nitro group to an amino group. Thereafter the hydroxyl group can be exchanged for halogen using a conventional halogenating agent (e.g. thionyl chloride, phosphorus trichloride or phosphorus tribromide).

The phenylenediamine derivatives of the formula II according to the present invention are useful intermediates for preparing the novel reactive dyes of the formula I.

The Examples which follow further illustrate the invention. Preparation of intermediates

a) 82 g (0.5 mol) of 3-nitrophenyl isocyanate in 500 ml of toluene were added dropwise to a solution of 60.5 g (0.5 mol) of 2-amino-2'-hydroxydiethyl sulfide and 200 ml of toluene at 30.degree.-40.degree. C. After the reaction had ended, the solvent was distilled off, and the residue was admixed with 500 ml of water and 1.5 g of sodium tungstate .times.2 H.sub.2 O and oxidized at about 70.degree. C. with 325 g of 30% strength by weight hydrogen peroxide solution. The reaction mixture was subsequently stirred at that temperature for 1.5 hours, then cooled down to about 5.degree. C. and filtered. The filtercake was washed with sodium bisulfite solution and water. This gave 125 g of the compound of the formula ##STR11## having a melting point of 174.degree.-177.degree. C. (The compound can be recrystallized from glacial acetic acid.)

b) 110 g (0.35 mol) of the compound described in Example 1a) were dissolved in 350 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide, admixed with 3.5 g of palladium on carbon (10% strength by weight), heated to 60.degree. C. and hydrogenated with 23.3 1 of hydrogen. The catalyst was then separated off, the solvent was distilled off, and the oily residue was made to crystallize with 100 ml of acetone. This left 80 g of the compound of the formula ##STR12## having a melting point of 127.degree.-131.degree. C.

The method of Example 1 was also used to obtain the compounds listed below in Table 1. __________________________________________________________________________ Example No. Compound __________________________________________________________________________ ##STR13## 3 ##STR14## 4 ##STR15## __________________________________________________________________________

a) 79.3 g (0.25 mol) of the product described in Example 1a were dissolved in 300 ml of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, admixed with 29.8 g (0.25 mol) of thionyl chloride at 30.degree.-40.degree. C. and heated at the boil until the gas ceased to evolve. Then the solvent and aqueous thionyl chloride were distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from glacial acetic acid. This left 44.2 g of the compound of the formula ##STR16## having a melting point of 126.degree.-130.degree. C.

b) 67 g of the product described in Example 5a) were dissolved in 170 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide and hydrogenated with Raney nickel at 60.degree. C. A customary workup gave 47 g of a compound conforming to the formula ##STR17##

C. with a suspension of 18.4 g (0.1 mol) of cyanuric chloride and 200 ml of ice-water and warmed to room temperature in the course of 1.5 hours at pH 5-6. After the reaction had ended, the reaction mixture was mixed with 12.5 g (0.1 mol) of N-ethylaniline dissolved in the presence of hydrochloric acid, the pH was maintained at 6-7, and the reaction mixture was heated to 30.degree.-35.degree.
