Phase Transfer Catalysis

This new publication presents a state-of-the-art understanding of the mechanism of phase-transfer catalysis, with helpful guidelines for conducting research with phase-transfer catalysts, as well as discussion of organic synthesis and polymer modification using phase-transfer catalysis, chiral phase-transfer catalysis, triphase catalysis and new catalysts. Also contained is useful information for developing and optimising new phase-transfer catalysis applications, and contributions from many of the "fathers" of, and leaders in, the field of phase-transfer catalysis.
