Abstract: The synthesis of furoin using VB1 as catalyst was studied.The effects of such factors as reaction time,reaction temperature,pH value of solution,the amount of VB1 and the means for feeding reaction material were discussed.The results showed that the optimal reaction conditions were:the reaction materials were mixed at room temperature at a ratio of furfural∶VB1=20∶1~15∶1,and 2.5 mol/L NaOH solution was added to the mixture to keep the pH value of solution at 8~9,and then the mixture was refluxed for 60~90 min at a reaction temperature of 65~75 ℃.The yield of furoin reached 74.6%~76.9% at optimal reaction conditions.
