Abstract

The invention relates to new 3-nitro-4-aminophenols of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which R denotes hydrogen or halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine, and R' denotes hydrogen or alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, dihydroxyalkyl or halogenohydroxyalkyl which has 1 to 6 carbon atoms and is straight-chain or branched, with the proviso that, if R is hydrogen, R' does not denote hydrogen, methyl or .beta.-hydroxyethyl. Processes for their preparation: (a) by reacting corresponding 3-nitro-4-aminophenols with certain halogenoalkyl chloroformates and subsequent basic treatment of the process products, or (b) by reacting corresponding 4-halogeno-3-nitrophenols with certain amines, and the intermediate products obtained and coloring agents for keratinic fibres, preferably for human hair, which contain at least one compound of the formula (I).
