The invention discloses a method for preparing active dye, namely active deep-red C-D by utilization of a microreactor, comprising the following steps that: J acids are coupled with diazonium salts of ethyl sulfone sulfate ester aniline compounds which contain sulfonic group, methyl, methoxyl group, ethyl group or oxyethyl group, and then active deep-red C-D azo dye is obtained; the coupling temperature is between10 and 25 DEG C and the pH value is equal to 1.5 - 6.5; the microreactor is adopted during the reaction process; a plurality of parallelly connected microchannels with diameter of between 10 and 500 micrometers are arranged inside the microreactor and both ends of the microchannels have shell covers. The product has good vividness, stable performance, good reproduction quality, high dye yield, good deep dyeing property and high fixation rate. The structural formula of the active deep-red C-D is as above, wherein, R1 and R2 are equal to H, SO3H, CH3, OCH3, OC2H5 and C2H5.
