Method for producing 5-nitro-2-furfuryl acetate

摘要

Furfuryl acetate is reacted at 0 DEG -20 DEG C with a mixture containing strong nitric acid and less than 7 mole, preferably less than 5 mole, acetic anhydride per 1 mole furfuryl acetate, in order to produce an intermediate of nitration, whereafter water is added and the aqueous solution is neutralized to a pH of 4.7-6.5 and finally the mixture is heated to 40 DEG -60 DEG C.
