Disclosed is a process for preparing substituted pyridone compounds which comprises (a) admixing in the absence of a solvent (1) an amine of the formula R
1
—NH
2
wherein R
1
is an alkyl group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or an alkylaryl group, and (2) a first ester of the formula
1
wherein R
2
is an electron withdrawing group and R
3
is an alkyl group; (b) heating the mixture containing the amine and the first ester to form an intermediate compound of the formula
2
(c) admixing the intermediate compound with (1) a base and (2) a second ester of the formula
3
wherein R
4
is an alkyl group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or an alkylaryl group and R
5
is an alkyl group, said second ester being present in a molar excess relative to the intermediate compound, said base being present in a molar excess relative to the intermediate compound, and (d) heating the mixture containing the intermediate compound, the second ester, and the base to form a pyridone compound of the formula
4
or a salt thereof. Also disclosed is a process for preparing diazopyridone colorants which comprises preparing a pyridone compound by the above process and reacting the pyridone compound with a diazonium salt to form a diazopyridone compound.
Disclosed is a process for preparing a diazopyridone compound either (A) of the formula
or (B) of the formula
which comprises diazotizing a dianiline and coupling it with a pyridone or diazotizing an aniline and coupling it with a dipyridone.
Disclosed are compounds of the formula
The compounds are useful as colorants, particularly in applications such as phase change inks.
