Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of compound preparation technology, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a red vat dye. Background Technology

[0002] Red is one of the three primary colors of light. Its longer wavelength and stronger penetrating power make it widely used. Currently, many researchers have discovered that modifying or transforming the structure of existing compounds can produce different colors. For example, CN114702837A discloses that introducing the same substituent at different positions in the core of an azo compound can transform the compound from orange to red. Among many compound cores, blue pigment, as a natural blue pigment obtained through microbial fermentation, is simple and environmentally friendly to acquire. Therefore, how to efficiently chemically modify it to produce a red color is of great significance to the dye industry. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for preparing a red vat dye. This method modifies the chemical structure of the blue core, enabling the blue dye to turn red.

[0004] The above-mentioned objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A method for preparing a red vat dye includes the following steps: The blue dye and the halobenzoylating agent were reacted in a solvent at a temperature of 180-210℃ and in the presence of a catalyst for 1-3 hours. The crude solid was separated from the solid and then washed with a cleaning agent and dried to obtain the red vat dye. The halogenated benzoylating agent includes at least one of 2,4-dihalobenzoyl halide, 2,4-dihalobenzoamide, and 2,4-dihalobenzoic acid ester. The molar ratio of the blue and the halogenated benzoylating agent is 1:(2-4). The cleaning agent comprises ethanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether in a volume ratio of (1-5):(1-2):1.

[0005] This invention provides a method for preparing a red vat dye. By replacing the primary amino group on the core of the blue alumina with a benzoyl halide reagent, the color of the blue alumina derivative dye can be adjusted to ultimately produce a red color. The red vat dye obtained by this invention is N,N'-di-m-dichlorobenzoyl blue alumina, wherein N,N'-di-m-dichlorobenzoyl blue alumina has the structure shown in the following formula: .

[0006] The inventors of this application have discovered that the reaction between the halogenated benzoylating agent and Vibrant Blue requires a temperature of 180-210°C and the presence of a catalyst in the system. If the temperature is too low or there is no catalyst in the system, the reactants cannot easily overcome the corresponding potential barriers to react; if the temperature is too high, side reactions are likely to occur. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the product is a disubstituted red dye (monosubstituted dyes cannot produce red) and to prevent excessive self-coupling and other side reactions in the system, this application also requires limiting the molar ratio of Vibrant Blue to the halogenated benzoylating agent to 1:(2-4).

[0007] Besides the specific requirements for reaction conditions, post-reaction cleaning and impurity removal are essential to improve the purity of the product and make it suitable for industrial applications. The inventors discovered that a washing solution prepared from ethanol, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether in a volume ratio of (1-5):(1-2):1) has lower surface tension, allowing it to easily penetrate the gaps and surface of the product. This effectively removes and dissolves impurities (including unreacted reactants and undesirable byproducts, such as the product that benzoylatees the secondary amino group on the core of *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*; and halogenated benzoylating agents, such as 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl chloride, which react with *Gynostemma pentaphyllum* to produce hydrochloric acid, also considered impurities) from the product surface, thus improving product purity. Furthermore, the self-prepared washing solution of this invention has very low solubility in the product, reducing washing losses and even increasing the product yield. This is presumably because the difference in solubility between the washing agent and the residual solvent on the product surface allows the residual solvent to have an extraction effect, increasing the product concentration in the solvent and its crystallization and precipitation capabilities.

[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of the cleaning agent to the crude solid is (5-8):1.

[0009] If the volume of the cleaning agent is too low and the amount used is too small, a good cleaning effect cannot be achieved, and the yield and purity of the product will decrease to a certain extent. However, if the amount of cleaning agent is further increased from the 8:1 ratio, the effect on the reaction effect will not be improved, and the cost will increase.

[0010] Preferably, the molar ratio of the blue and the halogenated benzoylating agent is 1:(2-3).

[0011] More preferably, the halogenated benzoylating agent includes 2,4-dihalobenzoyl halide.

[0012] More preferably, the 2,4-dihalobenzoyl halide includes 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl chloride. Using an acyl halide as the acylation reagent results in a higher yield.

[0013] Preferably, the solvent includes at least one of dichloromethane, acetonitrile, pyrrolidone, tetrahydrofuran, benzoyl chloride, dimethyl sulfoxide, and dimethylformamide.

[0014] More preferably, the solvent comprises pyrrolidone and tetrahydrofuran in a volume ratio of (5-8):(0.5-5).

[0015] More preferably, the solvent comprises pyrrolidone and tetrahydrofuran in a volume ratio of (6-7):(3-4).

[0016] By using compound solvents, the viscosity of the reaction system can be adjusted, allowing the reactants to be better dispersed, which is beneficial to the reaction.

[0017] More preferably, the mass ratio of the blue pigment to the solvent is 1:(1-6).

[0018] More preferably, the mass ratio of the blue pigment to the solvent is 1:(3-4).

[0019] Preferably, the catalyst comprises a Lewis base catalyst.

[0020] More preferably, the Lewis base catalyst comprises 4-dimethylaminopyridine.

[0021] 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), as a nucleophilic Lewis base catalyst, can donate electron pairs in the reaction system to form a nucleophilic intermediate that attacks the acyl carbon of dichlorobenzoyl chloride, generating DMAP-CO-C6H3Cl2. + Intermediate, while observing the blue amino group attacking DMAP-CO-C6H3Cl2 + It can efficiently generate the target product.

[0022] More preferably, the mass ratio of the catalyst to the blue violet is (0.5-3):100.

[0023] Preferably, the reaction is carried out under reflux conditions.

[0024] Preferably, the reaction temperature is 195-205℃ and the time is 2-3 h.

[0025] Preferably, the solid-liquid separation is performed by centrifugation.

[0026] Preferably, the drying temperature is 60-80°C.
