Title: Phase transfer catalysis
Description: Phase Transfer Catalysis is an increasingly popular tool for organic chemists due to its universality, efficiency, simplicity and cost effectiveness. Through the application of PTC, chemists have been able to rediscover many classical anionic reactions by greatly simplifying the technique needed to incite transformations. This comprehensive monograph surveys recent advances of PTC and its application in the field of organic synthesis and discusses its fundamental principles.

Dr Goldberg uses a mixed classification system to illustrate PTC's great potential. He analyses PTC reactions involving specific classes of organic compounds; discusses recent advances, such as inversed PTC, cation and electron phase transfer; and describes practical applications of PTC, such as the manufacture of drugs and pesticides. In drawing from his own research and over one thousand references, Dr.

Goldberg has compiled a comprehensive work which will be valuable to academics and industrialists interested in synthetic organic chemistry.
