Azo compounds from pigments of a heterocyclic-substituted aniline coupled to a 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methyl-3-cyano or -3-carbamoylpyridine

Abstract

Azo pigments having 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methyl-3-cyanopyridine or 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methyl-3-carbamolpyridine as coupling component and a heterocyclic substituted aniline as diazo component. The pigments have the formula ##SPC1## In which R is cyano or carbamoyl; A is an unsubstituted or substituted benzene ring; and B is a heterocyclic ring which is fused with the benzene ring and which contains at least one --NH-- and --CO-- or at least one --NH--CO-- group. Compounds of this formula as pigments are eminently suitable for coloring printing inks, surface coatings and resins.
