Problems solved by technology

[0008] In the existing technology, since a large amount of water is produced during the esterification reaction between formic acid and ethanol, and ethyl formate is easy to hydrolyze, a large amount of desiccant is required for product post-treatment to dehydrate, which not only increases the production cost, but also the product is not It is beneficial to the separation, which has always been the key problem solved by relevant literature at home and abroad, but so far has not obtained a simple and easy processing method.
In addition, strong acids such as sulfuric acid need to be used as catalysts in the reaction process, which not only causes corrosion to the equipment, but also requires a relatively large amount of catalysts, which does not meet the environmental protection requirements of green chemical processes

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method for ethyl formate. The method does not generate a great quantity of water and does not need to take sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The ethyl formate can be prepared by reacting anhydrous ethanol with carbonic oxide under the action of a basic catalyst. By the technical scheme, equipment requirements can be lowered, cost of raw materials is reduced, hydrolysis of the ethyl formate is avoided, and yield and acceptance rate of the ethyl formate are increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of chemical material synthesis, and relates to a method for preparing ethyl formate, in particular to a method for preparing ethyl formate through hydroxylation. Background technique [0002] Ethyl formate (molecular formula is C 3 h 6 o 2 , the structural formula is HCOOCH 2 CH 3 , simplified to ) is a colorless transparent liquid with a pungent smell similar to ethyl acetate and a pineapple-like aroma with a slightly bitter taste. Ethyl formate is slightly soluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents such as benzene, ethanol, ether, and insoluble in glycerin, with a boiling point of about 53.4-54.4°C. [0003] Ethyl formate is an important organic solvent and organic synthesis intermediate, which can be used in pharmaceuticals, such as for the manufacture of antineoplastic drugs Fuxeridine, vitamin B1, and the production of houttuyonin, tongjingning, anadrol, thiophene It can also be used as a solvent ...
