Vista Chemical Company, Ponca City, OK 74602 Uniquely interesting, complex and useful activities and phenomena occur at interfaces: one need only to look at the interfaces between the land, the atmosphere, and the sea to find this truth. The same truth occurs in chemical interfaces, although sometimes it is the lack of activity that draws our attention. In many chemical situations where two species cannot collide and therefore cannot react because they are separated by an interface, the lack of activity has been overcome by use of the technique of PHASE TRANSFER CATALYSIS (PTC), which not only allows reaction to occur, but often to occur in very selective ways. An early and clear example of PTC(1) demonstrated that the lack of reactivity between a mixture of 1-chlorooctane and aqueous sodium cyanide (without organic solvent) could be overcome by the use of a phase transfer agent, whose function was to transfer cyanide ion in reactive form from its normal aqueous phase into the chlorooctane phase. Use of a small amount of phase transfer agent makes the system catalytic, since the phase transfer agent can repeatedly transfer active cyanide ions into the organic phase for reaction with 1-chlorooctane. This sequence of steps is represented by equation 1, where Q+ represents a quaternary salt containing sufficiently long alkyl groups or other organic structure as to make QCN predominantly soluble in the organic phase. organic phase
