The present invention discloses a preparation method of yellow azoxy and azo stilbene dyes. Using 4-nitrotoluene-2-
sulfonic acid as a
raw material and water as a reaction
solvent, in the presence of
choline hydroxide, dye yellow 11 is obtained through a
condensation reaction. The molecular structure of
choline hydroxide contains a
quaternary ammonium salt group and a hydroxyl group. The hydroxyl group provides additional hydrophilicity, which helps to improve the
solubility and dispersibility of the dye in an
aqueous medium and enhance the affinity between the dye and the
fiber.
Choline hydroxide can effectively provide the alkaline environment required for the reaction, promote the synthesis reaction of the dye, and better control the selectivity and yield of the reaction. Since the
choline hydroxide molecule contains a hydroxyl group, it can form
hydrogen bonds with the
sulfonic acid groups in the
dye molecule, enhance the stability between dye molecules, and improve the light fastness and acid and alkali resistance of the dye. Using
choline hydroxide not only optimizes the
reaction conditions, improves the purity and yield of the dye, but also significantly improves the performance of dye yellow 11.
