Optimization of Preparation Conditions for N-propyl Acetate
N-propyl acetate was synthesized from acetic acid and n-propanol using concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst.By optimizing the dosage of catalyst,reaction temperature and esterification reaction time,the n-propyl acetate with high purity and yield was obtained.The experimental results show that when the volume of catalyst is 1.5 mL and the reaction time is 50 min at 100℃,the refined yield of n-propyl acetate can reach 87.8%.
