The invention relates to a process for producing vanillyl alcohol butyl ether. The process comprises the following steps: 1, generation of vanillyl alcohol butyl ether: extracting n-butanol, adding the n-butanol into a reaction kettle, adding vanillyl alcohol, starting carry out heating, adding 100-500 kg of anhydrous sodium sulfate in four times when the kettle temperature is increased to 50-60 DEG C, controlling the time for adding the anhydrous sodium sulfate to be 10-15 hours at each time according to the rising situation of the kettle temperature, controlling the kettle temperature to bebetween 50 DEG C and 55 DEG C after the all the anhydrous sodium sulfate is added, and then keeping the temperature for 10-15 hours, and carrying out sampling and analyzing until the reaction is completed and the vanillyl alcohol butyl ether is obtained; 2, water washing and desolvation of the vanillyl alcohol butyl ether: pumping the vanillyl alcohol butyl ether generated by the reaction in the step 1 into a desolvation kettle, carrying out washing with water, then carrying out washing with saturated saline water for twice, and carrying out standing for layering; and 3, rectification of the vanillyl alcohol butyl ether product: carrying out rectification on the vanillyl alcohol butyl ether product by using a rectification kettle, starting a vacuum pump, heating the system, controlling thetemperature to be 80-120 DEG C, and collecting the qualified product rectified out when the product containing vanillyl alcohol butyl ether is larger than or equal to 97% into a qualified product tank.
