Reaction Steps

2-Butoxyethanol (butyl cellosolve) 121 g (1.02 m), furoic acid 95 g (0.85 m) and 1 g dibutyltin dioctoate were heated with a xylene azeotrope to acid number 3. Xylene removed by distillation to a pot temperature of 200° and reaction product distilled. 2-Butoxyethylfuroate collected in fraction 2, 111°-104°. Yield 162 g, 86%.
