3.Synthesis methods

Preparation of 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol: After the diazotization of 2-aminopyridine, coupling with the 2-naphthol. Anhydrous ethanol reacts with metal sodium to get caustic alcohol, and then adding 2-aminopyridine in ethanol and passing ethyl nitrite vapor to react at 45-50 °C. Completed the reaction, heating 8 hours, filtering out the diazonium salt and washed with ether. The diazonium salt was added in 2-naphthol in ethanol solution, then passing carbon dioxide at 45-50 °C to carry on coupling reaction. After 6 hours, filtering out the crystals, washed with distilled water and recrystallized with ethanol, then we can get the product by drying.
