Disclosed is a process for preparing a colorant of the formula
1
wherein Y is a hydrogen atom or a bromine atom, n is an integer of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, R
1
is an alkylene group or an arylalkylene group, R
2
is an alkyl group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or an alkylaryl group, and R
4
is an alkyl group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or an alkylaryl group, can be prepared by a process which comprises (a) preparing a first reaction mixture by admixing (1) leucoquinizarin and, optionally, quinizarin, (2) an aminobenzene substituted with an alcohol group of the formula —R
1
—OH, (3) boric acid, and (4) an optional solvent, and heating the first reaction mixture to prepare an alcohol-substituted colorant of the formula
2
followed by (b) converting the colorant thus prepared to either (i) an ester-substituted colorant by reaction with an esterification compound which is either (A) an anhydride of the formula
3
or (B) an acid of the formula R
2
COOH in the presence of an optional esterification catalyst, or (ii) a urethane-substituted colorant by reaction with an isocyanate compound of the formula
R
4
—N═C═O
and (c) brominating the colorant thus prepared, wherein either conversion to ester or urethane can be performed before bromination or bromination can be performed before conversion to ester or urethane.
本发明揭示了一种制备化学式1所示颜料的方法,其中Y为氢原子或溴原子,n为0、1、2、3或4的整数,R1为烷基或芳基烷基,R2为烷基、芳基、芳基烷基或烷基芳基,R4为烷基、芳基、芳基烷基或烷基芳基。该方法包括以下步骤:(a)通过混合(1)白酚喹啉和可选的喹啉,(2)带有醇基的氨基苯的化合物,其化学式为-R1-OH,(3)硼酸和(4)可选的溶剂来制备第一反应混合物,然后加热第一反应混合物以制备化学式2的醇基取代的颜料;(b)将所制备的颜料转化为酯基取代的颜料,方法为与酯化化合物(A)化学式3的酐或(B)化学式R2COOH的酸在可选的酯化催化剂的存在下反应,或与化学式R4-N=C=O的异氰酸酯化合物反应以制备脲基取代的颜料;(c)溴化所制备的颜料,其中酯化或脲化可以在溴化之前进行,也可以在溴化之后进行。
