Experimental Selection Logic for Phase-Transfer Catalysts: Choosing Catalysts by Phase-State System, Source of Anionic Species, and Reaction Task

Phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) refers to the use of a small amount of catalyst in two immiscible phases, or in a multiphase system composed of a solid and a liquid, to transfer one reactant from its original phase into another phase so that the reaction can proceed more rapidly. The transferred ...
