TRIPHASE CATALYSIS OF POLYMER-BOUND AMINE OXIDE IN CYANIDE DISPLACEMENT ON 1-BROMOOCTANE

Abstract
Cross-linked polystyrene supported tertiary amines and amine oxides are found to be a very efficient catalyst for a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The amine oxide resin (MPE-5-AO) was one of the most effective and economical catalysts and can be used several times without the loss of the catalytic activity.
