内容简介：
Phase transfer catalysis is a sophisticated chemical technique which can be used to perform a variety of chemical reactions under mild conditions and with improved control. Since the concept was developed, both the theoretical and practical synthetic applications have seen considerable development, to the point where the technique can be applied in many areas of chemistry. Thus, phase transfer methods are now utilised in many applications, from research chemistry to full scale production, where the benefits of faster, cleaner and more selective reactions are required. In this book the editors have brought together a range of contributors, each of whom is working within technology, to provide a clear, concise and authoritative review of this area of chemistry. Industrial and academic chemists working on the synthesis, scale-up, production or analysis of a range of chemical products will find this book to be an useful reference on phase transfer technology. It should be of interest to industrial and academic research and development chemists, and chemical engineers.
