Water-soluble fiber-reactive dyes, preparation thereof and use thereof

Disclosed are water-soluble dyes, such as azo dyes, metal complex dyes, anthraquinone, phthalocyanine and formazan dyes which, optionally via a bridge member, possess a fiber-reactive group of the vinyl sulfone series and further contain a 4-cyanamido-1,3,5-triazin-6-ylamino radical which is 2-substituted by a group of the general formula (2), where RZ is hydrogen, lower alkyl optionally substituted by alkyl, hydroxyl, cyano, lower alkoxy, carboxyl, sulfamoyl, sulfo or sulfato or an optionally substituted phenyl radical, or is a cyclohexyl radical or an optionally substituted phenyl radical, W is an alkyl radical which is substituted by a reactive group and may be interrupted by a hetero atom, A is zero or 1 and B is 1 or 2, subject to the proviso that the sum of (A+B) is 2. The dyes are fiber-reactive and useful for application by the known techniques for fiber-reactive dyes for dyeing hydroxyl- and/or carboxamido-containing material, especially fiber material, such as cotton, wool, silk and synthetic polyamide.
