The invention discloses an azo red dye compound as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The structural general formula of the compound is shown as a formula III. A cyano
aromatic amine derivative and
thiocyanate are subjected to a cyclization reaction under the catalytic condition, and 2-aminobenzothiazole series compounds 1 are obtained.
Naphthalene aminodisulfonate is used as a
parent structure of the red dye to react with trichlorocyanuric
chloride, and then the product and a compound 1 are subjected to diazotization pretreatment and then coupled to obtain a product 2. And connecting a hindered amine group to
aromatic amine through
ylide reaction to obtain a product 3. And reacting the product 3 with the product 2 under an alkaline condition to obtain the target dye compound. The red dye compound contains the
benzothiazole group and the hindered amine group which can absorb
ultraviolet light, so that the red dye compound has relatively high stability to light and an
oxidizing agent or free radicals, and the molecules contain cyano groups capable of generating strong
hydrogen-bond interaction and hydroxyl groups capable of being coordinated with
copper ions, so that the light color fastness of the red dye compound can be enhanced. # imgabs0 #
