The invention relates to a preparation method of 3-ethoxy isoamyl
propionate, and belongs to the technical field of
organic solvent synthesis. The preparation method of the 3-ethoxy isoamyl
propionate comprises the following steps: S1, adding
ethanol, a
polymerization inhibitor and a catalyst A into a reaction kettle, heating to 40-55 DEG C, then dropwise adding
ethyl acrylate, preserving heat, and carrying out
addition reaction for 1-3 hours to obtain a reaction mixture; s2, adding an acidic material for
neutralization, and carrying out vacuum rectification to obtain ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate; s3, adding ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate and a catalyst B into a reaction kettle, heating to 100-120 DEG C, introducing
isoamyl alcohol, controlling the
reaction temperature to 100-115 DEG C, and carrying out
transesterification for 2.5-4 hours to obtain a crude product; and S4, cooling to stop the reaction, separating to remove the catalyst B, and carrying out reduced pressure rectification on the obtained crude product to obtain the 3-
ethoxypropionic acid isoamyl ester. The method has the effects of mild process, high conversion rate and high product yield.
