The present application relates to the technical field of organic
fine chemical industry, in particular to a kind of geranial butyl
ether and its preparation method and application.The present application is tri-block
copolymer as template agent,
tetraethyl orthosilicate is used as
silicon source to form
mesoporous silica precursor,
titanium species is introduced in template retention state, and chloro-
trimethylsilane end-capping and decyltrichlorosilane hydrophobic modification are carried out in turn;After template removal, graft 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane and oxidation, obtain the
solid catalyst;The catalyst is used for etherification reaction of geranial and n-
butanol, and geranial butyl
ether is obtained by vacuum
alcohol distillation and vacuum rectification.The present application is conducive to reducing
side reaction, improving target product selectivity and improving catalyst cycle stability.
