A new process was presented to synthesize p-nitrophenyl ethanol ether with p-nitrophenol and epoxy ethane as raw material and with alkaline as catalyst.The factors affecting the quality and yield were discussed and the optimum conditions were obtained.The mole ratio of p-nitrophenol and epoxy ethane should be ranging from 1.03 to 1.05
the range of reaction average temperature should be 110 ℃
and the catalyst concent ratio 3% of the p-nitrophenol.By using the mixed solvent of ethanol and water
the production rate was 87%.The results show that the proposed process is superior to the reported methods.It features advantages of high yield
low cost and high purity of product and could be suitable for industrialization production.
