A facile and convenient method for synthesis of alkyl thiocyanates under homogeneous phase transfer catalyst conditions

A simple and environmentally friendly method is described for the efficient conversion of alkyl halide to alkyl thiocyanate using tetrabutylammonium bromide （TBAB） as a phase transfer catalyst. The reactions occur in water and furnish the corresponding alkyl thiocyanate in high yields. No evidence for the formation of isothiocyanates as by-product of the reaction was observed and the products were obtained in pure form without further purification.

Synthesis of Hydroxypropyl Guar Gum by Phase Transfer Catalysis

HGG (Hydroxypropyl guar gum) was synthesized by phase transfer catalysis for the first time. The effects of alkalinity, phase transfer catalyst, etherification, pH value, temperature, reaction time and stirring speed were investigated. An optimal synthetic reaction technology was established, namely, dose of guar gum is 100 g, propylene oxide 40-50 g, HTAC (hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride ) 1.3-1.7 g, pH value 10-10.5, temperature 45-50℃, and reaction time 3-4 hours. The result shows that the improved HGG has high viscosity. Its dissolution speed, content of insoluble residue, colloid light transparency and stability are apparently superior to guar flour.

Compounds having an active hydroxy group, such as, acyloins can be easily alkylated by alkyl halides in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst （PTC）. The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of con-centrated aqueous sodium or potassium hydroxide and a phase transfer catalyst, such as, quaternary ammonium salts^[1-3] species, miscible which facilitate the interphase transfer of making reactions between reagents in two im-phases possible. The reaction involves a series of equilibrium and mass-transfer steps.

Phase transfer catalysis (PTC) has become one of the most extensively used techniques in organic synthesis. The key factor in such processes is the catalyst. There are mainly two kinds of phase transfer catalysts, one is the so called "crown ethers" including macrocyeles, open chain molecules with long chains, bearing heteroatoms at a proper distance, and can chelate inorganic

Application of the Phase Transfer Catalysis in Rare Earth Solvent Extraction

In order to overcome the difficulty in stripping and reduce the equilibrium time in heavy rare earth separation with acidic organophosphorous extractants, the phase transfer catalysis (PTC) technique was introduced to the solvent extraction process, especially applied to the stripping section, which was called phase transfer catalysis stripping (PTCS) process. in the PTCS process, an acidic phosphorous extractant was mixed with another extractant which can transfer hydrogen ion from aqueous phase to organic phase and almost does not extract rare earth ions, so that the stripping efficiency can be improved and the stripping extraction equilibrium be accelerated. The reaction mechanism of the PTCS and the requisite properties for a feasible PTCS catalyst in rare earth extraction were studied. We selected D(2)EHPA as the extractant, Alamine 336 as the PTCS catalyst and mixed rare earth chlorides as the feed to test the PTCS phenomenon. Based on the experimental data, the applicability of PTCS technique in rare earth solvent extraction was discussed.
