Abstract
Nucleophilic substitution by halide ions in n-octyl methanesulphonate catalysed by hexadecyltri-butylphosphonium halides in a water–chlorobenzene two-phase system occurs in the organic phase; the reactivity range (Cl–:Br–:I–= 0·6:1·1:1) is largely determined by the specific solvation of the anion by a limited number of water molecules.Keywords
