The invention discloses a synthetic method of a fluorescent dye, which comprises the following steps: A, dropwise adding POCl3 into DMF (
Dimethyl Formamide) at the temperature of 0 DEG C under the condition of protective
atmosphere and stirring, and fully reacting; continuously dropwise adding
cyclohexanone, heating, stirring, fully reacting, adding the reaction liquid into
ice water, and separating out a
solid first compound; b, under the protective
atmosphere, stirring and refluxing p-
sulfonyl phenylhydrazine, 3-methyl-2-
butanone and acetate in
acetic acid to react completely, cooling the reaction liquid to-10 to 5 DEG C, stirring, and separating to obtain a second compound; c, under the protective
atmosphere, after the second compound and 1, 4-
butanesultone are stirred, refluxed and completely reacted in
xylene, separating to obtain a third compound; and D, stirring and refluxing the third compound, the first compound and acetate in
methanol at the temperature of 80 DEG C under the conditions of protective atmosphere and light shielding, simultaneously dropwise adding
acetic anhydride, cooling to
room temperature after full reaction, and separating and purifying. According to the scheme, the synthesis process is simple and efficient, and high-quality synthesis of the target dye S0456 is effectively realized.
