Abstract

The synthesis of CH2(OC4H9)2 by phase transfer catalysis (PTC) has been studied in C6H5Cl/KOH solution. A pseudo-first-order rate law was applied for describing the reaction at a rather high [KOH]w. The reaction system was limited by the reaction equilibrium in the aqueous phase at low [KOH]w and the reaction in the organic phase at high [KOH]w.
