The invention relates to a water-soluble
ultraviolet absorbent 4-disubstituted aminobenzyl
subunit camphorsulfonic acid and a synthesis method and application thereof, and the synthesis method comprises the following steps: in a
toluene-
methanol mixed
solvent, carrying out heating
reflux reaction on
camphorsulfonic acid and 2
equivalent weight of
sodium methoxide, and after enolation conversion is completed, carrying out reduced pressure
distillation to obtain the 4-disubstituted aminobenzyl
subunit camphorsulfonic acid. Slowly dropwise adding a corresponding 4-disubstituted aminobenzaldehyde solution with the
molar weight equal to that of camphorsulfonic acid, continuously heating and stirring to react for 6-12 hours, adding water to terminate the reaction, acidifying the reaction solution by using
hydrochloric acid or
sulfonic acid type cation exchange resin, separating to remove methylbenzene, adjusting the pH value of a water phase to about 6.5, performing rotary
evaporation dehydration under reduced pressure, and extracting a crude product by using a conventional method; a target product can be obtained through
column chromatography purification, and the target product not only has water
solubility, but also has the characteristic of absorbing UVA and UVB
ultraviolet light at the same time; the composition can be applied to sun-screening agent products,
cosmetics or home care products, and also can be applied to various industrial products such as paint,
varnish, plastics, textiles and rubber to improve the light resistance of the industrial products.
