Abstract
2-Methoxyethyl acetate was synthesized using ethyl acetate and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether as reactants and the solid base K2CO3/Al2O3 as catalyst.Effects of molar ratio of reactants,catalyst dosage,reaction time and catalyst reuse were discussed.With 1% K2CO3/Al2O3 and n(ethyl acetate)/n(ethylene glycol monomethyl ether)=4,reacting at 80~110 ℃ for 4.5 h,conversion of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether was 98.8%.In addition,K2CO3/Al2O3 could be recovered after 5 times reuse without significant loss of its catalytic activity.
