HCID 80455Furfuryl ethyl ether

Procedure

Six batches of ethylfurfuryl ether comprising liquid were prepared as follows. A feed mixture of 120 grams ethanol and 110 grams furfuryl alcohol (molar ratio ethanol/furfuryl alcohol of 2.5) was added to 10 grams acidic ZSM-5 particles with a silica-alumina ratio of 30. The mixture was contracted with the catalyst for 2.5 hours at 125° C. under stirring.
