The invention discloses a synthetic method for
solvent violet 13, and develops a new
route for synthesizing violet 13 by employing a one-pot process. The method comprises successively adding
methanol, 1,4-
dihydroxyanthraquinone, 4-nitrotoluene,
iron powder and
boric acid into a pressure container, sealing the container and performing
nitrogen displacement, then heating with stirring, introducing
hydrogen for hydrogenation reduction, after the
reaction system stops absorbing
hydrogen, performing warm-keeping reaction, heating after the reaction is finished, performing
condensation reaction, cooling after the reaction is finished, releasing the pressure, introducing air and performing oxidation reaction, and finally adding
hydrochloric acid for beating, filtering, washing and
drying, so as to obtain violet 13. According to the method, the initial
raw material p-
toluidine is replaced by 4-nitrotoluene, direct usage of the highly-toxic
raw material p-
toluidine is avoided, and the synthetic technology is low in
toxicity and friendly to environment. By pouring all of the raw materials into the container, the postprocessing process of the intermediate step is saved, and a large amount of manpower and material resource is saved.
