Short overview of other laboratory-scale reactions

3 Short overview of other (laboratory-scale) reactions 

A proper choice of ligands and reaction conditions will make many other reactions available to the aqueous biphasic operation. Presently, a number of these reactions are in the stage of pilot-plant testing. This may also be true for various types of chemical engineering alternatives. 

The use of amphiphilic water-soluble ligands which influences the alkene solubility or increase the catalyst concentration at the interface area of the phases  

The use of cosolvents such as alcohols or detergents to improve interface exchange of the feedstock and the reaction 

Substitution of the water biphasic procedure by supported aqueous-phase catalysis (SAPC)
