Phase transfer catalysis

  • Chapter

Abstract

The problem of bringing together two substances of markedly different polarities is one which has been a continual challenge to chemists. The traditional solution has been the use of dipolar aprotic solvents, such as dimethylsulfoxide or N,N-dimethylformamide, in which both covalent and ionic substances are soluble. These solvents, however, are expensive, toxic, and their low volatilities can make product purification tricky. Environmental pressure means that many of the ‘better’ organic solvents are becoming unacceptable, and industry is being forced to look for cleaner alternative technologies.
