Description:

Preparation method:
In the initial step, we introduce butanol to the boron trifluoride monoethyl ether complex. Following this, we introduce ethylene oxide while maintaining a temperature range of 25 ~ 30℃. As a result, an automatic heat-up process occurs, elevating the temperature to approximately 80℃, signifying the completion of the addition reaction. Once butanol is recovered, the reaction product undergoes neutralization and distillation. Subsequently, a fractionation process is employed to obtain the desired end product.
