Process for synthesizing 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol by using continuous reaction separator

The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical products, and particularly relates to a technology for synthesizing 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol by using a continuous reactor. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out reduction reaction on a catalyst and m-oxygen phenyl formaldehyde in a first-stage continuous reaction separator, and automatically and quickly separating an oil layer and a water layer of 3-phenoxy benzyl alcohol obtained after the reaction; and simultaneously introducing the 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol oil layer and ionized water into a secondary continuous reaction separator for washing separation, and carrying out reduced pressure light component removal and rectification on the washed oil layer to obtain the 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol. Saline water is used as a reaction solvent for synthesis, part of water can be recycled, the variety of synthesis raw materials is reduced, and the method is clean and environment-friendly; by adopting the novel reaction separation device, the occup
