This application relates to the field of
organic synthesis technology, specifically disclosing a process for preparing tert-
butyl vinyl ether. The raw materials include
solid tert-
butanol,
acetylene,
tetrahydrofuran solvent, and
potassium hydroxide catalyst, supplemented with auxiliary materials such as type 3A molecular sieves and
activated alumina adsorbents. The preparation method involves: after
dehydration and purification of the raw materials, the materials are introduced into a reaction vessel;
temperature and pressure are controlled, and the reaction endpoint is monitored using an
infrared spectrometer; byproducts are quenched and
acetylene is recovered; the process involves multi-stage condensation,
water washing to remove impurities,
distillation separation, and
solvent purification and recycling, with simultaneous integration of
waste heat recovery and continuous material feeding. The tert-
butyl vinyl ether prepared by this process, as an important
fine chemical intermediate, can be used in coatings, adhesives, and
polymer material modification, possessing advantages such as high purity and good stability. The preparation method achieves efficient utilization of materials and energy through multi-stage synergistic linkage, combining the advantages of green
environmental protection, continuous and stable operation, and high
resource utilization.
