| production method | 1. By reacting ethylene glycol monoethyl ether with acetic anhydride, acetic anhydride and concentrated sulfuric acid are mixed, heated to 130 ℃, then ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is slowly added dropwise, the reaction temperature is maintained at 130-135 ℃, and then flow 1-2H is added, the reflux temperature was 140 °c. After cooling, it was neutralized with sodium carbonate to pH = 7-8 and dried with industrial anhydrous potassium carbonate. The drying agent was filtered off for crude fractionation and the distillate was collected between 150 and 160 °c. After re-fractionation, fractions at 155.5-156.5 °c were collected as the final product. It can also be obtained by The Reflux reaction of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether and acetic acid in benzene catalyzed by concentrated sulfuric acid. Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether was reacted with acetic acid under the catalysis of cationic resin to remove the generated water continuously, and then distilled to obtain the finished product. The conversion rate of acetic acid was 94.5%, and the selectivity of the product was 98.5%. 2.2-ethoxyacetic acid and ethanol reaction method. 3. Transesterification of ethyl acetate with ethoxyethanol. Acetic acid and ethoxyethanol reaction method. 5. Ethylene oxide and ethyl acetate reaction method. |
