The application discloses a
triarylmethane dye for blue
photoresist color paste and a synthesis method thereof. The dye is a
triarylmethane dye P, which is prepared through the following steps: (1) dissolving an
alkyl or
aryl triamine MA in a
solvent, adding a
palladium catalyst, a ligand and an alkali, and reacting with an
aryl halide under an
inert atmosphere to obtain an intermediate IA; (2) dissolving a dihalogenated
diaryl ketone MB in a
solvent, adding a
palladium catalyst, a ligand and an alkali, and reacting with a disubstituted amine under an
inert atmosphere to obtain a target intermediate IB; and (3) condensing the intermediate IA and the intermediate IB to obtain a novel blue
triarylmethane dye P. The triarylmethane dye has excellent color performance, is suitable for mixed or dye-based blue
photoresist color paste, and can significantly improve the brightness, transparency, contrast and dispersibility of the color paste, and meanwhile, has high hiding power,
strong coloring power, and good
thermal stability and light stability. In addition, the synthesis method is simple in process and suitable for industrial production.
