Abstract

The invention discloses a method for catalytic synthesis of methyl propionate. The method comprises the steps of: uniformly mixing a catalyst and propanoic acid, adding to a reaction kettle, heating the reaction kettle in an oil bath, after the liquid in the kettle reaches a certain temperature, continuously adding a mixture of propanoic acid and methanol, beginning an esterification reaction, and rectifying with a rectifying tower to obtain methyl propionate, wherein the catalyst is selected from an ion liquid of pyridinium hydrogen sulfate, imidazolium hydrogen sulfate, pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate, imidazolium p-toluenesulfonate and imidazolium hydrogen phosphate or p-toluenesulfonic acid. The method has the advantages that the equipment corrosion caused by strong acidity when sulfuric acid is used as the catalyst is avoided, the industrial investment cost is lowered, the utilization rate of the catalyst is higher, and the yield of the esterification reaction can reach more than 93%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for catalytically synthesizing methyl propionate. Background technique [0002] Methyl propionate is generally used as a solvent for the production of cellulose, coatings and spices, and as an intermediate in various organic synthesis reactions. In recent years, with the development of MMA process, the process of synthesizing MMA with formaldehyde under catalyst conditions has been developed using methyl propionate as raw material, which has become a new application of methyl propionate. [0003] The traditional methyl propionate synthesis process generally uses sulfuric acid as a catalyst, and propionic acid and methanol are directly esterified to synthesize methyl propionate. Sulfuric acid is highly acidic and oxidizing, and has high requirements for equipment materials and design requirements. Although someone uses an acidic ion resin as a stationary phase catalyst to synthesize methyl propionate through a gas-sol...
