Furoin was synthesized by benzoin condensation reaction using furaldehyde as raw material, VB1 as catalyst and Na₂CO₃ as basic reagent. The effects of solvent ratio, amount of VB1 and alkali, reaction temperature and time were discussed, and the structure of condensation product was confirmed by melting point determination and IR spectroscopy. The experimental results show that the optimal condition was furaldehyde (10 mL, 0.12 mol), 95% ethanol (20 mL), VB1 (1.80 g), 10% Na₂CO₃ (8.0 mL), at 60 oC for 1.0 h, the best yield was upto 84.56%.
