Provided is a preparation method for a yellow oxidized azo and azo-stilbene dye, including the following steps: taking 4-nitrotoluene-2-
sulfonic acid as a starting material, and taking water as a reaction
solvent to obtain
Direct Yellow 11 through a
condensation reaction in the presence of
choline hydroxide. A molecular structure of
choline hydroxide contains both a
quaternary ammonium group and a hydroxyl group. The hydroxyl group provides additional hydrophilicity, which is conducive to improving the
solubility and dispersibility of the dye in aqueous media, thereby enhancing affinity of the dye with fibers.
Choline hydroxide can effectively provide the alkaline environment required for the reaction, promoting the progress of dye synthesis, and controlling the selectivity and yield of the reaction better. The
choline hydroxide can form
hydrogen bonds with the
sulfonic acid groups in the dye molecules, thereby enhancing intermolecular stability and improving light fastness and acid / alkali resistance of
Direct Yellow 11.
