ETHYL FORMATE FOR SYNTHESIS
ETHYL FORMATE FOR SYNTHESIS
The synthetic product is often used as a flavoring agent in lemonade and artificial alcoholic beverages. It is used industrially as a solvent and as a fungicide and larvicide in processed foods such as dried fruits and cereals. The method of conventional synthesis Ethyl formate is to use sulphuric acid as catalyst, and having formic acid and ethanol is raw material, with sulfur Acid is the Ethyl formate production technology of catalyst.
The synthetic product is often used as a flavoring agent in lemonade and artificial alcoholic beverages. It is used industrially as a solvent and as a fungicide and larvicide in processed foods such as dried fruits and cereals.
The preparation technology of existing Ethyl formate is, formic acid and acetic acid are put in reactor, controls temperature below 50 DEG C, Dropping concentrated sulphuric acid (for the 1% of amount of formic acid), distills after being heated to reflux, and collects fraction, then adds anhydrous calcium chloride
