Procedure
248.2 g. (0.8 mol) of triphenyl phosphite and 131.2 g (0.81 mol) of 2-butoxyethoxyethanol were put into a flask of 500 ml. and 0.1 g. of sodium hydroxide was added thereto to react at 140°C. for 4 hours. The liberated phenol was distilled away by distillation under a reduced pressure (at 60°C. under 5 mm.Hg). Then the residual solution was filtered to obtain colorless transparent 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethyl diphenyl phosphite (Compound 9) as a filtrate.
