Applications of PTC in Organic Synthesis

As already mentioned, PTC can be used in numerous types of organic reactions due to its advantages over conventional procedures. Some of the applications are as follows.

Further presentation of selected typical examples of applications of PTC in organic synthesis will disclose scope, limitation, and particularly practical advantages of this methodology of general application in laboratory organic synthesis and as a basis of efficient, economic, and environmentally benign manufacturing of chemical products. 

Applications of PTCs in organic synthesis include polymer reactions, aromatic substitutions, dehydrohalogenations, oxidations, and alkylations of sugars and carbohydrates. PTCs can be used jointly with organometallic complexes as cocatalysts, bonded to polymeric matrices and used in asymmetric syntheses (34). Industrial applications have been in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other chemicals, including epichlorohydrin and benzotrichloride.
