Phase Transfer Catalysts

Phase transfer catalysts have important role for smooth execution of chemical reactions. These catalysts promote reactions between two or more than two reagents in multiple phases. Available in different formulations, these chemicals have specific roles in conducting various reactions. Quaternary ammonium salts offered under this category initiates production of different types of tetrabutylammonium salts by following salt metathesis reaction. This process involves transferring of aqueous anionic reactants into organic phase by diluting in water based and solvent based solutions. Phase transfer catalysts are required to formulate anesthetics and sedative hypnotics medications. These are also required in leather processing and textile arena.
