Procedure

Procedure was as in example 2, but acetic anhydride was added to the mixture of furfuryl alcohol and triethyl amine. The crude yield was 1149 g and the concentration was 58.7%, i.e., the yield was 99.5%. The crude product was washed 4 times with 200 ml water, whereby 641.3 g furfuryl acetate was obtained, its concentration was 96.2%, i.e., the yield was 91.0%.
