The invention discloses a preparation process for catalyzing and synthesizing tert-
butyl acrylate by using strong acid cation exchange resin as a catalyst, belonging to the technical field of
organic synthesis. The preparation process is characterized by comprising the steps of: adding crylic acid, strong acid cation exchange resin, a
polymerization inhibitor A and a
polymerization inhibitor B into a closed reaction kettle, dropwise adding liquefied isobutene for carrying out
esterification reaction; after dropwise adding is completed, carrying out
thermal insulation; after the
thermal insulation is finished, releasing the pressure of the closed reaction kettle, filtering, extracting a liquid component to enter a rectifying
tower; and sequentially separating byproducts of
tertiary butanol and diisobutylene and a target project of the tert-
butyl acrylate. The preparation process has the beneficial effects that the liquefied isobutene is adopted to be directly catalyzed together with the crylic acid and the cation exchange resin under the action of the
polymerization inhibitor A and the polymerization inhibitor B to form a specific
catalysis system, gaseous isobutene is not needed to be dissolved in a
solvent containing crylic acid for carrying out
esterification reaction under the action of the catalyst, and thus the procedure of absorbing a
solvent in subsequent operation is removed, resources are saved and procedures are saved.
