Statistical Optimization of Synthesis of β-Methylhydrogen Itaconate

Article Preview

Abstract:

β-Methylhydrogen itaconate was synthesized with itaconic acid and methyl alcohol and using benzoyl chloride as catalyst. The important variables (reaction temperature, reaction time and substrate mole ratio) were optimized by Box-Behnken central composite design under response surface methodology. The statistical analysis showed that the optimum reaction conditions (temperature 58.98 °C, time 0.5 h and substrate molar ratio 3.71) led to a maximum yield (99.2%).
