5-ethoxy methyl furfural microwave catalytic synthesis method

The invention discloses a 5-ethoxy methyl furfural microwave catalytic synthesis method. Sugar and alcohol are used as raw materials and react under the effect of an acid catalyst, the catalyst is the acid catalyst, the sugar and the alcohol are heated through microwaves and controlled at the temperature of 80-200 DEG C, ethyl acetate is added after the reaction is performed for a period of time, organic phases are collected, and the 5-ethoxy methyl furfural is obtained. Microwave heating has the effect of promoting a chemical reaction. The chemical reaction speed can be significantly improved and the reaction mechanism can be changed through the microwave heating effect and the electromagnetic effect. Only 10-30 min is needed to complete the reaction by means of microwave heating, the reaction time is shortened, and the highest yield of the prepared 5-ethoxy methyl furfural is 60%. In addition, the reaction is environmentally friendly in the whole process, the production cost is reduced to the maximum degree, and possibility is provided for industrial production in future.
