Abstract: A process for dyeing or printing articles of polyacrylonitrile and/or copolymers of acrylonitrile with other acrylic or vinyl compounds is characterized by using as dyestuff anthraquinone carboxylic acid amides which contain in the amide group a radical with at least one primary and/or secondary amino group.  The articles may be sheets, films and especially textile materials. The second hydrogen on the amide nitrogen may be replaced by a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or cycloalkyl groups.  The primary or secondary amino groups may be attached to the amide nitrogen by way of an alkylene, cycloalkylene, arylene or aralkylene radical such as -C6H4,CH2- or -CH2,C6H4,CH2-.  The anthraquinone nucleus may contain substituents such as chlorine, bromine, nitro, alkoxy or aryloxy groups or, advantageously, substituted or unsubstituted amino groups. Of special interest are dyes of the formula <FORM:0925111/IV(a)/1> in which A is a low alkylene radical such as an ethylene or propylene radical, D is a low linear or branched alkyl or a cycloalkyl radical and E is hydrogen or a low alkyl radical. Typical dyes have the formulae <FORM:0925111/IV(a)/2> The dyes may be prepared by reacting anthraquinone carboxylic acid halides with primary amines which bear in addition at least one primary or secondary amino group.  The dyes may be applied as aqueous dispersions from an acid bath, preferably at boiling point, of pH 1,5-6 which may also contain dispersing agents and electrolytes.  Suitable acids are sulphuric, acetic and formic acids.  For printing the paste may contain the usual thickeners and auxiliaries and an acid such as acetic and/or tartaric acid. After printing the goods may be steamed.  Examples of dyeing and printing are given.  Specification 824,530 is referred to.
