Solvents of Switchable Volatility

PS possesses very similar solvent properties to DMSO. For example, its F t(30) value of 189kJmol is exactly the same as that of DMSO and its dielectric constant of 42.6 is of the same order of magnitude to that of DMSO, which has a dielectric constant of 46.7. In some anionic nucleophilic 

It is worth noting that the volatility switch of this solvent has yet to be used to full effect in chemical reactions, and PS has primarily been used as a direct 

Solubility switching behaviour is one of the main benefits of fluorous biphasic catalysis (discussed in Chapter 7) however, other specially designed catalysts
