[0028] Example 1 This embodiment provides a method for preparing a fault diagnosis agent for transformer insulating oil.
[0029] The reaction formula is as follows:
[0030] Add the following ingredients sequentially to a 100mL round-bottom flask: S 1-Binaphthol (2.86 g, 10 mmol), 1-bromononane (6.18 g, 30 mmol), and cesium carbonate (Cs₂CO₃, 6.5 g, 20 mmol) were added, along with 20 mL of acetonitrile as a solvent.

[0031] The target product was subjected to proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy using conventional methods. Figure 1 ), carbon spectrum ( Figure 2 The analysis yielded the following results: Hydrogen spectrum: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, chloroform- d ) δ 7.91 (d, J = 9.0 Hz, 2H), 7.83(d, J = 8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.39 (d, J= 9.0 Hz, 2H), 7.29 (m, 2H), 7.22 – 7.12 (m, 4H), 3.97 – 3.85 (m, 4H), 1.04 – 1.34 (m, 4H), 1.29 – 1.22 (m, 4H), 1.21 – 1.14 (m,4H), 1.14 – 1.06 (m, 4H), 1.04 – 0.94 (m, 8H), 0.91 – 0.84 (m, 10H).

[0032] Test case This test case demonstrates that the target product of Example 1 is suitable for overheating fault early warning in power oil-filled equipment.
[0033] During transformer operation, oil samples are periodically collected from the equipment for monitoring.

A quantitative relationship between the enantiomeric excess percentage of the diagnostic reagent and the overheating fault energy is obtained. o C: y = -0.011x + 1.0057, R 2 =0.981; 180 o C: y = -0.0129x + 1.0147, R 2 =0.9845; 190 o C: y = -0.0466x + 0.9802, R 2 =0.9787.
