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.
