The invention relates to a method for synthesizing beta-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)
methyl propionate. The technical scheme comprises the following steps of: adding 2,6-di-tert-butyl
phenol into a reaction kettle, vacuumizing, displacing
hydrogen for more than three times, raising the temperature to be between 55 and 60 DEG C, adding a catalyst, stirring, continuously raising the temperature to be between 90 and 115 DEG C, and dehydrating to obtain
slurry; reducing the temperature of the obtained
slurry to be between 90 and 97 DEG C, dripping
methyl acrylate into the reaction kettle by using an annular dropper which is inserted into the bottom of the reaction kettle, controlling the temperature to be between 95 and 105 DEG C, filling the
nitrogen until pressure is between 0.4 and 0.6MPa after dripping is finished, controlling the temperature to be between 95 and 105 DEG C, preserving heat and reacting for 1.5 to 2.5 hours; and reducing the temperature to be between 75 and 85 DEG C, vacuumizing, adding
organic acid, reacting for 10 to 20 minutes, filtering, and purifying to obtain a product. By the method, the
reaction temperature can be reduced, reaction time is shortened,
side reaction is reduced, and the quality and yield of the product are improved.
