Preparation Method of 2-Butoxyethyl acetate(BGA)
BGA is a commonly used organic solvent with low volatility and good solvent resistance, which is widely used in coatings, inks, varnishes and other fields. There are many ways to synthesize it, including alcohol etherification and alcohol acetate esterification.
1.Alcohol ether synthesis route:
Alcohol etherification is one of the common synthesis methods of BGA, which is mainly obtained by the reaction of ethylene glycol and butanol. The synthesis route is as follows:
1.1 Dehydration of ethylene glycol to produce ethylene ether: ethylene glycol is dehydrated with an acid catalyst (such as sulfuric acid) to obtain ethylene ether.
1.2 Condensation of ethylene ether and butanol: Condensation reaction of ethylene ether and butanol to obtain ethylene glycol butyl ether.
1.3 Esterification of ethylene glycol butyl ether with acetic anhydride: Ethylene glycol butyl ether is esterified with acetic anhydride to obtain BGA.
2. Alcohol acetate synthesis route:
Another common synthesis method is to obtain BGA by esterification of alcohol and acetic anhydride. The synthesis route is as follows:
2.1 Esterification of butanol and acetic anhydride: The esterification of butanol and acetic anhydride to obtain butanol butyl acetate.
2.2 Preparation of ethylene glycol butyl ether: butanol butyl acetate is deacidified to obtain ethylene glycol butyl ether.
2.3 Esterification of ethylene glycol butyl ether with acetic anhydride: Ethylene glycol butyl ether is esterified with acetic anhydride to obtain BGA.
The above two synthetic routes are commonly used in industry synthesis methods, according to the specific production needs and conditions, choose the appropriate synthetic route can effectively improve production efficiency and product quality.
