The invention relates to a
cuprous salt antioxidant containing a phosphite structure and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that firstly,
diethyl malonate reacts in the presence of
ammonia gas to obtain an intermediate A, then the intermediate A and 3-amino-2, 5-di-tert-butylphenol are subjected to condensation cyclization to obtain an intermediate B, finally, after the intermediate B and a phosphite derivative react, the
cuprous salt antioxidant containing the phosphite structure is obtained, and the
cuprous salt antioxidant containing the phosphite structure is obtained. And coordinating with cuprous salt to obtain a final product. The invention also provides a nylon composition containing the antioxidant. The antioxidant disclosed by the invention has the characteristics of high-efficiency
oxidation resistance,
hydrolysis resistance and good compatibility with nylon through the synergistic effect of a plurality of intramolecular stable mechanisms, and can be used for remarkably improving the
thermal oxidation stability of a
nylon material, inhibiting degradation in the
processing and using processes and effectively keeping the mechanical properties, appearance and color of the material.
