In comparison to metal-catalyzed reactions, phase transfer catalysis has several advantages, including its water-tolerable properties with operational simplicity by using environmentally-benign catalysts, and the easy separation of products due to its biphasic nature.
com/reports/c83104) has announced the addition of "Asymmetric Phase Transfer Catalysis" to their offering Asymmetric phase transfer catalysis is an emerging topic in the field of organocatalysis and defenitely more fascinating asymmetric reactions by organocatalysis are expected in the near future.
Following an introduction to the topic of process development, chapter topics include chiral technology, strategies to simplify organic reactions and processes, choosing a reagent, phase transfer catalysis, purity and purification, and safety assessment.
