Optimization of the process of catalytic alkylation of cyclopentadiene by cyclohexyl alcohol

Based on the experimental data, a regression mathematical model has been developed for the process of obtaining cycloalkyl-substituted cyclopentadienes by catalytic alkylation of cyclopentadiene with cyclohexyl alcohol, reflecting the influence of the main technological factors (the ratio of the starting reagents, temperature, the amount of catalyst) on the yield of the target product. The statistical analysis of the obtained model is carried out, the adequacy of the developed model to the experimental data is proved. The optimal values of the input parameters are found, at which the maximum value of the yield of cycloalkylated cyclopentadienes is reached.
