Phase transfer catalysts (PTCs) are agents that facilitate the migration of a reactant from one phase into another where the reaction occurs, commonly between aqueous and organic phases. They are particularly useful in reactions involving ionic species in a nonpolar solvent. (i) Alkylation: PTCs enhance nucleophilic substitution reactions by transferring anions from the aqueous phase into the organic phase. For example, in the alkylation of phenoxide ions with alkyl halides, a quaternary ammonium salt
