phase transfer catalysisPhase transfer catalyst (PTC) can helpreactantFrom onephase transferTo another level where reaction can take place, so as to speed upOut of phasesystemreaction rateA type of catalyst of.Generally, there are aqueous solutions andOrganic solventTwo phase, ionic reactants oftensoluble toaqueous phase,InsolubletoOrganic phaseThe organic substrate is soluble in organic solvents.In the absence of phase transfer catalyst, the two phases are isolated from each other, several reactants cannot contact, and the reaction proceeds slowly.The existence of phase transfer catalyst can combine with the ions in the water phase (usually), and use its ownAffinityTransfer the reactants in the water phase to the organic phase to promote the reaction.
stayOrganic synthesisHeterogeneous phase is often encountered inOrganic reaction, such reactions usually have slow speed,yield Low and incomplete response.But if you useWater solubilityinorganic salt, use organic solvent with low polarityDissolved organic matterAnd a small amount (below 0.05mol) of quaternary ammonium salt or quaternary phosphorus salt is added to facilitate the reaction, which can promote thereaction rate And transfer between two phasesanionOfOnium salt, called phase transfer catalyst.
Catalytic mechanism
Announce
edit
phase transfer catalysisThe reaction is generally a two-phase reaction,Reaction processIt mainly includes the transfer of reactants from one phase to another and the occurrence of transferred substances and untransferred substanceschemical reaction。Has developed many differentcatalytic reactionmechanism:
1. Extraction mechanism
In 1971, Starks developed liquid liquid phase SN2Nucleophilic substitution reactionThe famous catalytic cycle principle was proposed, which laid the theoretical foundation for phase transfer catalytic reaction.
PTC is distributed in two phasesphase transferIt is the onium salt that transports Y from the aqueous phase to the organic phase, and then the onium saltcationAnd send X - to the water phase
Phase transfer catalyst in model IICation exchangeIt occurs on the interface, and the function of PTC is toion pairRepeated extraction in the form ofanionY - entering the organic phase without the transfer of catalyst cation in the two phases
