We synthesized new multi-site phase transfer catalyst having 4, 8, 12-active sites per molecule.
Catalytic efficiency of these MPTCs is studied by dichlorocarbene addition to (R)-carvone.
Catalytic efficiencies are compared with commercially available soluble PTCs such as TBAB and TBAC.
Based on the results we reported the extraction mechanism for the dichlorocarbene addition to (R)-carvone.
