If both radicals --N(R1)--X1 and --N(R2)--X2 in formula (1) are attached to the same component, e.g. the coupling component, as described above, it is also possible to use as diazo components those which do not contain an acylatable amino group in addition to the amino group to be diazotised. Examples of such diazo components are: aminobenzene, 1-amino-2-, -3- or -4-methylbenzene, 1-amino-2-, -3- or -4-methoxybenzene, 1-amino-2-, -3- or -4-chlorobenzene, 1-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzene, 1-amino-2,5-dimethylbenzene, 1-amino-3-methyl-6-methoxybenzene, 1-amino-2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene, 1-aminobiphenyl, 1-aminobenzene-2-, -3- or -4-carboxylic acid, 2-aminodiphenyl ether, 1-aminobenzene-2-, -3- or -4-sulfonamide, 1-aminobenzene-2-, -3- or -4-sulfonic acid, 1-aminobenzene-2,4- and -2,5-disulfonic acid, 1-amino-4-methylbenzene-2-sulfonic acid, 1-amino-3-methylbenzene-6 -sulfonic acid, 1-amino-6-methylbenzene-3- or -4-sulfonic acid, 1-aminonaphthalene, 2-aminonaphthalene, 1-aminonaphthalene-2-, -4-, -5-, -6-, -7- or -8-sulfonic acid, 2-aminonaphthalene-1-, -3-, -4-, -5-, -6-, -7- or -8-sulfonic acid, 1-aminonaphthalene-3,6- or -5,7-disulfonic acid, 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5-, -1,7-, -3,6-, -5,7- 4,8- or -6,8-disulfonic acid, 1-aminonaphthalene-2,5,7-trisulfonic acid, 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5,7-, -3,6,8- or -4,6,8-trisulfonic acid, 4-aminobenzene-3,4'-disulfonic acid, 3-methoxy-4-amino-6-methylazobenzene-2',4'-disulfonic acid or 3-methoxy-4-amino-6-methylazobenzene-2',5'-disulfonic acid.
