RT journal article T1 Optimization by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) of the Kharasch−Sosnovsky Oxidation of Valencene A1 García-Cabeza, Ana Leticia A1 P. Ray, Lindsey A1 Marín Barrios, Rubén A1 Moreno Dorado, Francisco Javier A1 Guerra, Francisco M. A1 Ortega Agüera, María Jesús A1 Martínez Massanet, Guillermo A2 Química Orgánica AB Response surface methodology (RSM) has been employed to model and optimize the Kharasch−Sosnovskyallylic oxidation of valencene. The detailed effects of the amounts of oxidant, substrate, copper catalyst, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), and temperature have been studied. The concentration of substrate and quantity of oxidant have been determined as the most significant variables. The interaction effects on the yield have been investigated using a three-level full-factorial design. The yield of benzoyloxyvalencene has been improved to 99%. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been used to evaluate the goodness of fit of the model.
