The invention provides a method for manufacturing yellow disperse dyes having excellent fastness to light, which is lowcost, simple and convenient, and can realize industrial production. The method for manufacturing yellow disperse dyes is used for manufacturing yellow disperse dyes containing more than 70 mass/% of a compound represented by the following Formula (2) and less than 30 mass% of a compound represented by the following Formula (3). The manufacturing method is characterized in that the nitryl of the compound represented by the following Formula (1) [in the formula, R represents an amino] is reduced into an amino group, and the amino group is reacted with 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid anhydride, then, the protecting group R of the amino is deprotected and forms a ring.
