Nitrobenzene → Quinoline Yellow

Participants

Reaction Steps

As shown by this reaction scheme (5), a hydroxyquinaldine derivative and a trimellitic acid anhydride derivative are added to nitrobenzene, and the mixture is heated and stirred at a refluxing temperature for several hours. Subsequently, the product is collected by filtration and washed with methanol, then dried, to yield the quinophthalone compound of the present invention. Here, a process of removing impurity substances such as inorganic salts can be included. The quinophthalone compound and mixed colorant in the present invention preferably have decreased contents of impurity substances such as inorganic salts, whereby the mechanical properties of the thermoplastic resin can be well maintained, and the anti-migration property and anti-sublimation property can be improved. The content of these impurity substances is desirably not more than 2%.
