Abstract The preparation of butyl acrylate was designed and implemented in the organic chemistry experiment which was combined the characteristics of polymer materials and engineering specialty. Firstly, the preliminary experiment scheme was designed by students through reviewing literature in which the catalysts, reaction conditions, properties of raw materials and products were compared and analyzed. Secondly, the influence of catalyst, reaction temperature and reaction time on the yield of butyl acrylate were investigated by students in the experimental teaching stage, in which variation trend of yield of butyl acrylate was analyzed and summarized by students. Finally, the experiment report was written based on experimental results and extracurricular development. The design and arrangement of this experiment are helpful for students to realize basic scientific research methods, enhance their ability to analyze and solve problems, and improve their innovative ability and practical ability.
