Reaction Steps

Furylacrylic acid (23 g, 0.135 mol), 2-ethylhexanol (87.5 g, 0.67 mol) and 0.5 ml Tyzor® (DuPont tetraisopropyltitanate) were mixed in a 3-neck round bottom flask equipped with a thermometer, condenser and high speed stirrer. The mixture was heated to 190° C. and held there with stirring until the theoretical 2.4 ml of water was distilled off at atmospheric pressure. The residual product was distilled at 134° C./0.5 torr yielding 33.0 g (92.6%) of 2-ethylhexylfuryl acrylate. A gas chromatagraphic analysis indicated the product was 97.1% pure. The material has peak absorption at 300.1 nm and a K of 98.3.
