Abstract：
A new environmentally-friendly catalyst, La~(3+)-SO_4~(2-)/TiO_2(Ⅰ) was prepared. n-Butyl p-hydroxybenzoate was synthesized from n-butyl p-hydroxybenzoic acid(Ⅱ) and n-butyl alcohol(Ⅲ) with rare earth solid super acid (Ⅰ) as catalyst. The influence, such as ratio of raw material, amount of catalyst, reaction time, etc., on yield was investigated. Experimental result showed that Ⅰ is an excellent catalyst. When n(Ⅲ)/n(Ⅱ)=4.0, amount of Ⅰ is 3.5%(based on acid), reaction temperature is 120—130 ℃, and the reaction time is 4.0 h, the yield of n-butyl p-hydroxybenzoate can reach 92.7%.
