The invention provides a substituted amino
bipyridine derivative as well as a preparation method and application thereof, the structure of the substituted amino
bipyridine derivative is as shown in formula I. In the formula, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from any one of H, C1-C6
alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl, C2-C20 alkynyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl, C5-C20
aryl or C5-C20 heterocyclic radical; when R1, R2, R3 and R4 are not methyl, no more than one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 is H; and when any one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 is methyl, the rest groups are independently selected from H or methyl. When the substituted amino dipyridyl derivative provided by the invention is used as a
blue dye, the dyed
blue dye is bright in color, deep in
dyeing and comprehensive in
dyeing fastness; the preparation process is simple, convenient to purify, safe, simple, convenient and energy-saving, the product quality is stable, the reproducibility is good, the yield is high, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
