PHASE TRANSFER REACTIONS

摘要

Phase Transfer Catalysis (PTC) is one of the most efficient and versatile technologies, which is used in organic synthesis in industry and in research laboratories. PTC is widely used for the production of surfactants, polymers, flavours & fragrances, petrochemicals, agricultural chemicals, dyes, pharmaceuticals and explosives. The advantages of PTC include simple experimental operations, mild reaction conditions, use of inexpensive and environmentally friendly reagents and solvents, easy scalability. Disclosed herein is an inventive method for initiating phase transfer reactions by the application of a magnetic field. Also disclosed herein is an inventive method for the preparation of stable coated nanowire structures utilising magnetically induced phase transfer catalysis and/or condensation reactions.
