METHOD OF OBTAINING BENZYLBUTYL ETHER

摘要

FIELD: chemistry.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of obtaining benzylbutyl ether, which serves as a flavour for food products. The method consists in intermolecular dehydration of benzyl alcohol and n-butanol in the presence of a catalyst - copper (II) bromide CuBrat a temperature of 140-175°C for 2-10 h with a molar ratio of [CuBr]:[BnOH]:[H-CHOH]=1-5:100:100-400.EFFECT: method makes it possible to selectively obtain the target product with the high output with the application of an available and cheap catalyst.1 tbl, 1 ex
