A Study of Organic Chemical Reactions in Microemulsions.

Abstract

This Final Report summarizes the work performed under the contract noted above. Three different aspects of the application of microemulsions in organic synthesis were investigated. The first involved a delineation of the ability of microemulsions to catalyze synthetically useful reactions of water-insoluble organic compounds with water-soluble inorganic reagents. The second aspect involved an identification of the reactive site for such reactions. The third encompassed the synthesis of destructible (cleavable) surfactants, a new class of surfactants specifically tailored for the use of microemulsions in organic synthesis. We also began the design and synthesis of turnover catalysts for carbon and phosphorus ester hydrolysis. Originator furnished key words include: microemulsions, organic synthesis, microemulsions, reactive site, microemulsion, destructible (cleavable) surfactant-based, destructible (cleavable) surfactants, turnover catalysts.
