The regularities of the synthesis of cyclic neopolyols by aldol condensation of cyclic ketones with formaldehyde have been studied. To obtain the target product 2,2,6,6-tetramethylolcyclohexanol with the maximum yield, the influence of temperature, molar ratio of the starting components, amount of catalyst, pH of the medium was determined. Mathematical processing of the experimental data made it possible to obtain the partial dependence of the output parameter on each factor in the form of a second-order equation. A generalized equation for the dependence of the output optimization parameter on all input variables is compiled. The optimal reaction conditions for the production of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylolcyclohexanol have been determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
