Research progress in the synthesis of isoamyl acetate

The catalytic synthesis of isoamyl acetate with p toluene sulfonic acid,amino sulfonic acid,sulfanilic acid,H β zeolite,FeY, 8 kinds of inorganic chemicals,niobic acid,heteropoly acid and ion exchange resin were reviewed.The reaction conditions,specificity of catalysts and features of synthetic process under the action of the catalysts was expounded. It enumerated the predominaces of every catalysts on the rate of production,reaction time,post treatment process,whether or not for the catalysts to reuse,agent of getting water,whether or not for it to be easy to conserve and use.It pointed out that no agent of getting water,reusing for former distillate and the fixing of high efficiency catalysts were the directions of the following researches.
