Application

Tetrahexylammonium hydrogensulfate can be used as a phase-transfer agent to facilitate certain organic reactions in a two-liquid phase system. For example:
  • Epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated ketones in a biphasic dichloromethane/water mixture using sodium perborate.
  • Transfer hydrogenolysis of aryl bromides by aqueous sodium formate catalyzed by palladium-triphenylphospine.
  • Carbonylation of benzylic and allylic bromides to synthesize carboxylic esters.

Other Notes

Lipophilic phase transfer catalyst. Most efficient catalyst in ruthenium-catalyzed reactions
